''Bullseye'' is a British television programme. It was first made for the ITV network by ATV in 1981, then by Central from 1982 until 1995, and was hosted by comedian and TV presenter Jim Bowen. ==History== ''Bullseye'' was created and owned by Andrew Wood, who came up with the idea after doing research into aspects which created mass appeal for all viewers in a gameshow.〔http://www.bullseyetvgameshow.com/tv-show/〕 Programme associates on the show were Mickey Brennan and Roger Edwards. The series centred on darts, which placed three pairs of contestants (each team with one person to answer questions and one darts player) against one another to win prizes ranging from a new car, a speedboat, a caravan or a luxury holiday to the consolation prizes of a set of darts, a tankard (for male contestants), a silver goblet (for female contestants) and a 'Bendy Bully' a rubber model of the show's mascot. The show originally aired on Monday nights in September 1981 and produced by ATV. In 1982, Bullseye was moved to Sunday afternoons, with a new co-host, Tony Green, a professional darts commentator, being brought in to keep track of the scores, and it helped to achieve around 17 million viewers. Although Green (who appeared in the first series as a charity thrower) was initially brought in merely to act as a scorekeeper and commentator, over the years his role grew until by the time the show ended he was essentially the co-host. Bullseye was moved from its traditional Sunday afternoons to Saturday afternoons from 1994 to 1995. A fifteenth series was planned in 1996, but Andrew Wood refused since it required new conditions by the ITV network centre, and he believed it would lose its appeal.〔 After an eleven-year hiatus, Bullseye was revived for a new series, which was recorded for the digital channel Challenge produced by Granada at Yorkshire Television in the Leeds Studios and was hosted by Dave Spikey. On screen, the show evolved as follows: The first three series had the players throwing (from the point of view of the viewers and the audience) towards the right for the first round and to the left for all subsequent rounds. From the fourth series, all three boards in use rotated on a single pillar and all throwing was seen to be done to the right. The first four series featured opening titles of Bully jumping out of a sign and walking into a pub to play darts, this was shortened from series 2 onwards, with new theme music and musical beds from series 4. From series 5, the entire set was essentially inverted. The audience would now be seen in shot throughout the show and the viewers would see all darts being thrown to the left. From the audience point of view, everybody continued to throw to the right. Series 5 also saw the introduction of Bully driving the team bus for the opening titles. This also featured cartoon depictions of Eric Bristow, John Lowe, Dave Whitcombe, Keith Deller, Cliff Lazarenko, Bob Anderson, Jocky Wilson and Mike Gregory at the back of the coach.〔Episode 12 of series 9 of Bullseye, mentioned in Jim Bowen's opening remarks〕 In the 13th series the opening titles changed again and featured Bully jumping out the sign on the back wall and charging around trashing the set. There were no major set changes aside from Jim Bowen's entrance through the opening that would hide the star prize - previously he would come through the audience, having done this since the second series. The character 'Bully' was ambidextrous. In the opening credits of the show, he was shown to throw his darts with his right hand; however, prior to the advert break midway through the show, he can be seen to write "End of part one" using his left hand. Jim Bowen once described Bullseye as ''"the second-best darts-based game-show on television"''. There are no others.〔http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/darts/4294557.print/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bullseye (UK game show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
