Bullseye was back on our TV screens on Sunday night (December 22) as the iconic darts gameshow returned to ITV for a Christmas special, but viewers picked up on an 'annoying' production feature.
The original show first launched in 1981 and ran for 14 years, presented by Jim Bowen. Although it briefly returned in 2006, ITV has now brought back a one-off Christmas special, presented by Freddie Flintoff.
The cricketing legend was joined by darts star Luke Littler and professional darts MC Richard Ashdown on the show. Bullseye sees three teams made up of an amateur darts player and a quiz enthusiast who compete to win a series of prizes.
The players work together to try and earn cash and prizes, with bonuses at stake if they hit bullseye. At the end of the show they can also get the chance to gamble their prizes to see if they can win the mystery reward hidden behind a screen in the studio - previous prizes included a speedboat.
Many viewers were delighted to see the return to Bullseye to TV screens. But some were quick to spot an 'annoying' production feature which they said was 'too much'. Fans felt the show had too much 'canned clapping and cheering'.
