A classic Bullseye clip went viral because it features one of the most underwhelming star prizes in TV history

The classic darts based 80s TV quiz show Bullseye, hosted by Jim Bowen, regularly drew audiences of 20 million per episode during its peak. It was renowned for including star prizes such as luxury holidays, cars and the iconic speedboats.

But not all star prizes were so, well – starry, as this clip shared by none other than Matt Lucas goes to show.

It’s a great watch.

Prizes never made sense, a speedboat for people who live in a high rise flat, a fitted kitchen between 2, and this utter atrocity of a day out at C&A.

I actually think they wheeled out different prizes for the “what you could have won”. Those prizes were always amazing. No one ever won them.

I prefer to wear loose-fitting trousers and a blouson when I pop down to the launderette – but then again, maybe that’s just me.
