Bullseye

I confess that I used to like Bullseye and Jim Bowen. Jim was assisted by professional scorer, Tony Green. I used to laugh when Jim would say to the contestants, " Now listen very carefully to Tony". We would then wait for some pearl of wisdom from Tony but he would merely say. " Take your time"! The big test was whether or not the winning team would go for the star prize by attempting to get 101 in 6 darts with the ' Non dart player' throwing first. Most Non dart players ignored the obvious tactic of aiming the the middle of the left side of the board. You are bound to score at least 30 and with a bit of luck may hit the odd treble. At one time the team would risk everything to go for the star prize but after a few years they were allowed to keep the money they had won. Halfway through a professional darts player was invited to play for charity and score 301 with 9 darts and any score over 301 was doubled. The charity money was safe as Jim would say.
