I met Jim once. I was fifteen and me and my mate had been busking with our guitars about the place and someone got us on his show last minute on Radio Lancashire. My lasting memory was him telling me, when I nervously tried to get my headphones off afterwards..."don't pull em that way ya daft bugger you'll pull your bloody head off" 🤣🤣 rip Jim.
I was there. The dart hit wire of the 25/bull...the posh guy was an idiot because he could have gone left hand send on his second dart..the whole audience were quietly happy ....the gasp was funny.. Jim Bowen is TV , funniest man ever...
B.F.H...Bowen Folk Hero, many fond memories growing up to Bullseye, seek out his book "From a bundle of rags" great read indeed, Respect to the Lancashire Legend. R.I.P good Sir, you live on Eternal.🎯🎯🎯🎯
Me and my brother were in Birmingham one afternoon for a concert..Walking past the Central television studio's and Jim Bowen comes walking out,Instantly me and my bro went into classic Jim Bowen impersonating...smashing,super great..you can't beat a bit of bully and all that.....I swear to this day if he had a gun he would of shot us both, face like thunder. must of been sick of hearing that everyday of his life....lol happy days.
Saw Jim tell this story at a Bullseye roadshow years ago. Very funny and apparently they had to dub sound on to the shots of the audience because they were cheering and laughing so much when the idiot contestant lost.
It either didn't happen or the episode was never shown. If an audience really did react like that towards contestants I don't think they would have dared show it.
Went to see Superman IV: The Quest For Peace with me Nan for me 9th birthday. Up in Scarborough, I were dead excited, just as we sat down, there’s a right kerfuffle, only Jim Bleedin Bowen, sat beside us. Tearing into a Choc Ice. My Nan who loved Jim, tapped his arm and said “Big Fan” Jim said “ ‘ho me or Superman” Me Nan said “you silly” and as true as God’s my judge Jim said in a menacing voice. “Chuffing better be of I’ll stick this choc ice stick in that kids eye bulb, now Sod Off”
I’m surprised I haven’t seen that episode,I thought I’d seen them all. What a show,spent many a Sunday afternoon watching bullseye 🎯. Can anyone find that episode?? The climax was always the shite prizes. Still very entertaining though 👍👍👍.
@@Wally-H It might be in an archive in Birmingham somewhere. Some poor bugger had to go through about 200 episodes on VHS looking to see if they could spot the serial killer who'd made an appearance on the show some time in the mid to late 80s. Helped to catch him and all. I would say you can't beat a bit of bully but that would be in very poor taste.
@@Nealson454 There is an hilarious Bullseye story in here when Jim talks about the programme with the 2 Irishmen from Belfast.:) I have just watched it on RUclips..
I thought jim bowen was about 70 back in the early 1980s, is this really him, I was convinced he died about 25 years ago, I'm sure I remember it being mentioned on the TV.
Galaxy Tab That is indeed the legendary Jim Bowen, he is 80 now. In 1981, when he made his bullseye debut, he was 43 years old. His hair just grew prematurely grey and that his glasses made him looked older than he actually was. The man is a warrior and a legend having overcome two strokes.
sounds like a load of horseshit, jim was famous for embellishing, love to see the ep if true, though when he says they lost 12 grand u know for a fact that part was bull(y)
My dad and uncle won a Peugeot 205 on bullseye and I now own it
Thats awesome dude. Economic motoring

God bless him. Jim was a legend. Bullseye was part of my life when I was growing up. It was classic!!
I'm 34 and I'd record it as a wee boy!
Rest in peace Jim you legend. Never be another like you!
Totally agree 💯
Never been replaced - show or man
They're showing re-runs on Challenge TV. Watched two episodes this morning.
I could sit and listen to him tell Bullseye stories all day!! Absolutely love these!!

I love his story about the two drunk Irishmen...
Heard it, absolutely hilarious 😁👍
@@jasonwilletts559 you still a numpty Jay? Miss you done the boozer mate. It’s not the same now. Too many straight couples and women.
The Irishmen one deserves its own comedy sketch. Hilarious. 🤣
where's Dusty Bin? 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see that episode of Bullseye, good old Jim ❤ They don't make 'em like him anymore 😢
Probably doesn't exist..sounds like BS to me.
'And he lost 12 grand' As if you could win 12 grand on Bullseye
I guess he meant the value of the star prize, plus the value of the items they got from the prize board.
God bless you Jim r.i.p🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

i would love to see the episode he talked about sounds funny
Fake news.
The Episodes that were NOT aired seemed to be the only ones worth watching.
@@BigAL0074 hahahahhah
R.I.P.
75 she got 😂😂😂
F**kin '*ell what a brilliant story. Is the video available on youtube?- of that episode?, it rings a bloody bell.
it didnt happen
It either didn't happen or the episode was never shown. If an audience really did react like that towards contestants I don't think they would have dared show it.
''The sods won'' classic
In the general knowledge round,one of the questions was , What is a Male Fox called, the female contestant answered Wolf 🤣
Brilliant 😂😂😂

"He's a fair darts player, to be honest!"
No wonder, it was one of the few things that he could do by himself.
That's what u call chocked lol

Yeah, we have to see this episode
You didn't see this imaginary episode?
He’s alive and kicking. Eighty now...
dead now
Can we have a chance to see this episode?
If the audience really did react like that they may have pulled the episode

@@paulmoneill No they didn't, that episode is well documented, there is a clip of it on here somewhere.
😂
Anyone know what series/episode this was?
It wasn’t - it was actually a made up story…..
Does anyone know which episode this is ?????
Probably never shown, based on what Jim tells us about the audience.
Y'can't beat a bit of Bullshite
I want you all to know I wrote the first comment before I'd seen the clip! I'm not against nice people who are rich!
When he went on holiday the plane was always a boing 747 i wonder why,,,
SSG!! 🤣
30 second intro?
i know; clueless
Anyone know if he still alive
Not as of last week.
You had to work down a mine or in a factory to be on Bullseye..super, smashing great!!
Let’s see what you could have WONE 😊🤔
The only episode which something similar happens is on RUclips search : Bullseye 9 1983. I suspect Jim may have made up some of the story.
It's called showbiz!!!! :)
What episode number exactly? Unless it’s been taken down since you posted this, it was 5 years ago haha.

Good story tho. Esp. Since it came from Jim🤣

Unfortunately, no longer with us. He's had his BFH - Bus Fare Home. Legend.
Bowen never looked young. That was the joke.
He deserved to lose going for 20 with second dart
I wouldn't have cheered the guy losing twelve grand just saying!
sounds like a load of horseshit, jim was famous for embellishing, love to see the ep if true, though when he says they lost 12 grand u know for a fact that part was bull(y)
Bullseye? Bullshit more like.
Why u sat dat,pleasie?
@@Isleofskye I think this story is fictional in nature.
@@jeffrey44Just checking that you are still well jeffrey. I will diarise this for another 12 years in 2036,My Friend.:)
jim Bowen ......not a nice man .....common as muck and never a comedian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hated because they were from Surrey and were well dressed?????
