If anybody is remotely interested, I had a phone call from the producer of Bullseye about 2 weeks after the show was recorded, and he offered cash instead of the car, which at the time was £5,600. Of course I accepted the offer.
In those days, which was 2001, the maximum prize value any tv quiz/show could award was £10,000, hence the other prizes were of such little value, which meant that IF contestants won all the 'Bully' prizes, PLUS the star prize, it wouldn't exceed the limit. It would also include a possible larger sum of cash winnings in the other rounds. We won just 280 in cash, and a few other prizes as well. |

1990... jeez I'm losing the plot!
Recorded at Lenton Lane studios. Our 'pro' dart player was Alan Warriner, and the other show they recorded that day (they did 2 shows a day) had Jocky Wilson. |
