Freddie Flintoff Hits Bullseye in ITV Comeback
Last weekend, ITV viewers were treated to a nostalgic yet fresh take on a classic game show, as the much-loved Bullseye made its long-awaited return with a new host—Freddie Flintoff. The show’s reboot turned out to be a smashing success, becoming the most-watched program on Sunday evening. It seems audiences were eager not just for the return of the quiz, but for Flintoff’s charming and lively presence at the helm.
For those who remember the original, Bullseye was made famous by Jim Bowen and his cheeky sidekick, Bully. The game combined general knowledge questions with darts, and contestants would either walk away with big cash prizes or, more humorously, just their “BFH”—bus fare home—if luck wasn’t on their side. The new version stays true to that spirit but has been updated to keep both long-time fans and new viewers entertained.

One of the fun ways audiences can engage with the show is through the Bullseye Quiz Book , which offers a chance to test your knowledge at different difficulty levels. Easy questions might earn £30, medium £50, hard £100, and the ultimate Marksman challenge £200. From trivia about classic films like The Wizard of Oz to questions about history, sports, and music, there’s something for everyone. So whether you fancy yourself a pop culture whiz, a history buff, or a sports fanatic, there’s a level to suit you.
Flintoff has been praised for bringing his signature humor and energy to the role, helping to modernize the show without losing its nostalgic charm. Viewers were delighted to see him interact naturally with contestants, keeping the mood light and entertaining. Social media lit up with positive reactions, with fans highlighting that Flintoff’s presence made the show feel accessible and fun, much like Bowen had done decades earlier.
The show’s format, which blends quizzes with darts challenges, has also been preserved, ensuring that it still delivers those moments of suspense and excitement that made Bullseye a household name. Contestants’ reactions—ranging from triumphant celebrations to the classic, humorous disappointment of winning just the bus fare—kept viewers glued to their screens.
With its successful debut drawing over two million viewers, ITV has confirmed that Bullseye will return, promising a few subtle twists while maintaining the beloved elements of the original. Whether you’re playing along at home with friends or just watching Freddie Flintoff charm his way through the episodes, it’s clear that Bullseye has hit the mark once again.
In short, Freddie Flintoff’s arrival has been more than just a host change—it’s a revival that balances nostalgia with modern entertainment, proving that some classics never go out of style.
