Can you guess what this mans unusual hobby is?


A lot of footage from that episode was featured in last night's ITV Wales documentary: http://www.itv.com/wales/the-bullseye-killer48779/

Quite eerie stuff. Presumably Challenge have been diligent enough to mothball that episode now.

Oh, I hope not. I want to know how he did. I would also like to hear him chatting with Jim Bowen. It would seem a bit of a waste not to show an episode of Bullseye just because a contestant liked a bit of killing. Sadly, I fear you are right and this episode won't be shown again.

The jury don't know how lucky they are to have seen a complete uncut episode of Bullseye. When was the last time any of us got to see that?

Thanks for the pointing to the ITV Wales programme. It explains why the footage used on Meridian Tonight had comedy/scary music on it, it was obviously lifted from the ITV Wales programme.

Everything you want to see is featured in the documentary!
He took the gamble but lost. The "look at what you could have won" was an Austin Metro. I wonder if he'd still have committed the robberies/murders a month later if he'd won?

The interesting bit starts at 08:30 in the BBC Wales programme if anyone else is interested.
Very badly edited though. It makes it look like he took the gamble on his own but what they don't explain is that he was the non-dart player. They didn't show his friend throw a single dart. As it happens, John Cooper scored 26 and so did his dart playing friend, so really it is his friend that comes out of this programme looking worse than him. At least he got some questions right.

That is not good as there will cut 6mins from the show...... Mad


I hope it's the Lily Savage version.


Then there have to cut 15mins out of the show as Lily version is 45mins long


They have moved it to 14:10 Saturday and 14:10 Sunday, and it is indeed the Lily Savage version (running at 40 mins so with some edits presumably).

Why on earth would there edit out stuff, so there could add a filler to the 3pm jct.

I went and looked it seems it only 40mins long so It looks like its not going to get cut,

Wikipedia suggests the Lily Savage series were 30 mins on BBC 1 and 40 mins on ITV.

Did anybody see the problems Challenge had this afternoon before Bullseye at 5.30pm? They showed Ninja Warrior trailer, only for pre-recorded announcer to kick in too early.
It went:
Trailer: "The world's toughest gameshow!"
CA: "With Bob Monkhouse"

I hope you remembered to turn over to Challenge+1 at 17:28 and capture this for historical record?

Was watching an episode of Bob Monkhouse's Wipeout today - didn't know it was in widescreen, or that the set was blue! Wasn't it shades of orange?
