Bullseye with Freddie Flintoff

[Philip A]

A one-off hour-long Christmas edition with new host Freddie Flintoff airs on ITV 1 tonight at 6 pm (also on ITV X), with Luke Littler and Richard Ashdown joining the team. In new rounds and classics, which pair of knowers and throwers will be in with a chance to win the speedboat? If a hit with a new audience, a full series could be commissioned. In this new format, Freddie (6th host overall) will also play against Luke in a special round.

Some good some bad.
The prize board having the professional helping was good and the extra dart choice on the prizeboard was also a nice touch as was the charity challenge with Freddie who is clearly better with the darts than az a presenter.
The chap standing in for the late great Alan Green was annoying at first but when it became clear that Freddie is no Jim Bowen and needs help presenting then I warmed to him.
The flashy set was a nice touch though Bullseyes USP was the tacky set.

Overall I'm all in and look forward to the new series and I'm sure Freddie will improve

It was bloody awful. It went on and on, far too stretched out (no doubt to please the advertisers again). I couldn't wait for it to finish. None of the warmth of the original, it needs a Peter Kay comedian type of host and cut back the length to the original format and Sunday afternoon time slot. Far too much Littler involvement, at one point I thought it was The Luke Littler show...

The great thing about the revivals of Millionaire, Blankety Blank and more recently Gladiators is that they’ve hardly changed a thing. Meanwhile, ITV lazily duplicate the American versions of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune with unnecessary hour-long padding and destroy the format of You Bet! and now this.

Don’t
Change

It seems to me they changed the format to suit Freddie who isn't a presenter and needed assistance , hence the increased role of the ' Tony Green ' role.
Also Freddie was allowed to showcase his reasonable dart skills by changing the charity formula.
Which I felt was a good thing
