Bullseye 

Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff will present a reboot of the darts-themed quiz show Bullseye for ITV. 

The former England cricket captain and presenter has signed up for a special Christmas episode. 

Flintoff, 46, said Bullseye "was one of my favourite shows as a kid.” 

It is not yet known whether a full series has been commissioned. 

Bullseye was originally broadcast on ITV between 1981 and 1995, fronted by the late comedian Jim Bowen. 

It features three pairs of contestants, with each team made up of one darts player and one quizzer who work together to win prizes. 

The show also had a mascot called Bully, who Flintoff referenced in his hosting announcement. 

Bullseye often attracted audiences of 20 million during its peak, moving from an initial slot of Monday nights in 1981 to Sunday afternoons in 1982, and then to Saturday afternoons between 1993 and 1995 - when its run ended. 

After eleven years off-air, the show returned for a new series in 2006 on the channel Challenge. Old episodes still air on the digital channel each evening.
