01:04Are you quite right?
01:06APPLAUSE
01:08So, Richard,
01:10what did you ask Santa for this year?
01:12Well, I hear there's a Luke Littler duvet cover available,
01:15but I've asked Santa for just the pillowcase, I'm fine.
01:18Oh, stop it, stop it, stop it.
01:20Can you introduce the teams?
01:22We have Leigh-Anne and Tina from London.

01:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:36Welcome Leigh-Anne and Tina.
01:42So nice to have you on the show.
01:44What made you want to come on to Bullseye?
01:46It was her idea.
01:47LAUGHTER
01:49Now, I've heard that you two are best friends.
01:52Yeah.
01:53Have you always been that close?
01:55No.
01:56No?
01:57We used to play in opposite dark teams
02:00and we completely hated each other.
02:02But it's got better, hasn't it? Jeez, come on.
02:04We finished the game.
02:06We was on our way home and our car broke down
02:08and this lovely lady see whoo's in trouble
02:11and she goes to lift home
02:13and we've been best friends ever since.
02:15So that's how it's all started.
02:16Yeah, yeah.
02:17That was nice.
02:18I had a similar thing with Piers Morgan.
02:20LAUGHTER
02:21So I went out for dinner with him, met him for the first time
02:23and thought, this bloke's a whopper.
02:25LAUGHTER
02:26And then I spent a lot of time with him and I thought,
02:28yep, this bloke's a whopper.
02:30LAUGHTER
02:31Sorry, Piers.
02:32No, so you both played the arts.
02:34How did you decide who's going to be the know-er
02:36and who's going to be the thrower?
02:37It's pretty simple, really.
02:38She's the knowledge bank.
02:39So you're the Brains Leon?
02:40Yeah.
02:41I'll try to be.
02:42Any dance nicknames?
02:43I call her the Hitman.
02:44Right.
02:45And I'm a bodicot.
02:46Wow.
02:47That's like me and Richard.
02:49LAUGHTER
02:50Definitely.
02:51He's my Kevin Costner.
02:52LAUGHTER
02:54And if you're gone tonight,
02:55is there any prize you'd like to take home?
02:57Oh, maybe a car.
02:59Oh.
03:00But it would have to be small enough
03:02because I've only got little legs.
03:03Oh, bless you.
03:04Three for pedals.
03:05I would love a large screen TV
03:07with a good energy rating.
03:09LAUGHTER
03:11I don't even know what that is,
03:12but we'll see what we can do.
03:13What's this?
03:14I'm Leanne and Tina.
03:15APPLAUSE
03:18What, Freddie?
03:19I'm all right, Chris.
03:20LAUGHTER
03:21I've got to come there first.
03:22You look like an upside-down Peter Wright.
03:24LAUGHTER
03:26I can see not only is that beard red, Chris,
03:28you've got things hanging off it.
03:29Oh, there's a few little bits.
03:31Do you want to try and turn me on a bit?
03:33No.
03:34LAUGHTER
03:36Oh, here we go.
03:37Look at that.
03:38APPLAUSE
03:39Wow.
03:42Wow.
03:43OK.
03:44Can you turn it off for us now, please, Chris?
03:46I don't want you flashing all the way through the show.
03:48LAUGHTER
03:49I reckon you've got that in your locker.
03:51LAUGHTER
03:53Talk us through that beard.
03:55Well, I've been doing it about seven years now,
03:57so just change the colour every month to a different colour.
04:00And what do you think of it, Jack?
04:01Well, it's like waking up to a new man once a month.
04:03It's fabulous.
04:04LAUGHTER
04:07So many, so many things.
04:09LAUGHTER
04:10How did you meet this fella?
04:11He went to a 70s weekend.
04:13I was with my friends, he was with his friends,
04:16and his friends...
04:17Oh, you didn't have a green beard then, didn't I?
04:18You did.
04:19He had a spray on green beard then,
04:20but his friend was chatting me up.
04:22LAUGHTER
04:23And this one turned up,
04:24and then his mate went,
04:25I'll see you then.
04:26LAUGHTER
04:27I can't imagine what his mate looked like
04:28if he ended up without.
04:29LAUGHTER
04:30Jack, is it true that you work in a dog hotel?
04:34I did, but I don't anymore.
04:36I don't know, was it a bit rough?
04:38LAUGHTER
04:39It's not getting any better than that, I tell you.
04:44First, you're the thrower.
04:45Yeah?
04:46I hear you have your own catchphrase
04:48when you're playing against other people.
04:49When I play in the local pub next door,
04:51when they're on the double and the miss,
04:53I shout out, you don't want it.
04:55Let me shout out, no, I don't.
04:56LAUGHTER
04:57Then I shout, you don't want it!
04:59So you probably might hear a bit of that tonight.
05:01LAUGHTER
05:02I look forward to it.
05:03Ladies and gentlemen,
05:04welcome to the show, Jack and Chris.
05:06APPLAUSE
05:10T3's Matt and Sandra.
05:12I hear you guys were friends from your student days, weren't you?
05:14Yeah, so we went into halls of residence
05:17about 20 years ago now,
05:19and we were actually next-door neighbours.
05:21You heard me shouting at my computer game, didn't you?
05:23Yeah.
05:24I thought, who's that guy?
05:25I thought he was playing pro-evolution soccer,
05:26but he was playing someone else.
05:27All he heard was him just swearing and shouting,
05:29banging on the sitting floor.
05:31No, that's a nightmare.
05:32No.
05:33I hear that your surname has links to Bullseye.
05:36Yes, so my surname is linked to the original presenter,
05:39Jim Bowen.
05:40Oh, the good one.
05:41LAUGHTER
05:43It's up for you.
05:44Yeah, it's just a coincidence.
05:46I don't think there's any relation there.
05:47Certainly not that I'm aware of, anyway.
05:49Your mum didn't go on holiday some all-coming eighties.
05:51SHE LAUGHS
05:53Might have to check those details.
05:55So what's a typical Christmas break like for you guys?
05:58Board games?
05:59For us, it's all about Monopoly Christmas.
06:01Monopoly?
06:02Honestly, the games go on.
06:03The last one went on for about six and a half hours.
06:06It's a proper marathon sport, and you just need to win.
06:10Which one do you play?
06:11Do you play the London one?
06:12Because there's all different ones now, isn't there?
06:13I've got the one at Preston at home, and it's bizarre.
06:15You can buy it for three quid.
06:16LAUGHTER
06:17Let's give it up for all these teams.
06:19Give them a massive round of applause.
06:21OK, thank you.
06:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:24OK, let's get started and try to bank some cash
06:28with Bullies Category Board.
06:30Throwers, please make your way to the hockey.
06:32APPLAUSE
06:33There are ten categories on Bullies Board.
06:44If the throwers hit the category chosen by their teammates,
06:47they'll instantly win 50, 100 or £150,
06:52or £250 if they hit the bullseye.
06:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:58And if the knowers can answer that category question,
07:01they'll win a bully bonus.
07:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
07:05Questions in this first round are each worth a bully bonus of £50.
07:08Categories can only be hit once.
07:10After that, they are no longer in play.
07:13Leigh-Anne, would you like to pick a category for Tina, please?
07:16Um, film and TV, please, Freddie.
07:19APPLAUSE
07:21OK, Tina.
07:22It's an open board, but film and TV we want.
07:27Oh, just outside the bullseye, it's in Showbiz.
07:34So, Showbiz is available.
07:36Leigh-Anne, for £50.
07:38Who announced her engagement to American footballer
07:41Travis Kelsey on Instagram in 2025?

07:50It is Taylor Swift.
07:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
07:55Come on, you've won £50.
07:58Jack, what category would you like?
08:01Food and drink, please.
08:03Food and drink, please, Chris.
08:05APPLAUSE
08:07OK, Chris.
08:08At least the Christmas show,
08:09so food and drink would be appropriate.
08:12Oh, it's just underneath in sport.
08:19Sorry, darling.
08:23You've got a question on sport for £50.

08:37I don't know any golfers.
08:39British.
08:40Incorrect, Jack.
08:41I can open it up.

08:59We want to go places here.
09:01Just outside and he's gone into sport,
09:04and the category's gone.
09:08No score, though, sorry, Matt.
09:09OK.
09:10Jack and Chris, it's your turn to throw first,
09:12and remember the subjects that are lit are the ones you can hit.

11:48Film and TV, please.
11:49LAUGHTER
11:50You're adamant, you're getting it, aren't you?
11:52LAUGHTER

12:18Yeah, of course it is, EastEnders.
12:19APPLAUSE
12:20It's not bad, but it's no Coronation Street, is it, Leanne?
12:27LAUGHTER
12:28Jack, pick a category for Chris for the final time, please.
12:31SIGH
12:32Let's try spelling.
12:34Ooh!
12:35Ooh!
12:36Ooh!
12:38Spelling's the one they want.
12:43Unlucky.
12:44Just the wrong side in showbiz.
12:46The category's gone.
12:47I'm sorry, Jack.
12:48So, no score, the category's gone.
12:50OK, that's the end of the category game.
12:52Throwers, please, go back to join your teammates.
12:54APPLAUSE
12:55Well, there's some interesting darts there, Richard, but please give us the scores, Matt.
13:09OK, after that first round we have Jackie and Chris on £100, Leanne and Tina on £300,
13:16but in the lead it's Matt and Sanjay with £350.
13:20APPLAUSE
13:25Well done, Matt and Sanjay, off to a great start.
13:28Right, it's time for a break and I'm off to rear the selection box and crack a few nuts.
13:33When we return, our three teams will try and stay in the game as we play pounds for points.
13:37And one of the top darts players in the world will be joining us to play Bullies' charity game.
13:42Here's a little clue to who it is.
13:44Yes, we'll be going Dutch. See you soon.
13:51APPLAUSE
13:53Welcome back to a very special Christmas edition of Bullseye with me, Freddie Flintoff.
13:59Before the break, we played a burst of this.
14:18Any guesses to who our special dark player is tonight?
14:20Van Gerwen.
14:22Mighty Mike.
14:23Yes, of course it is.
14:24It's the Dutch master, the mighty Michael van Gerwen.
14:27He'll be throwing for one of our team's charities later.
14:29First, back to the game.
14:31So, Jack and Chris, you're struggling at the minute, aren't you?
14:34Are you confident you can catch up?
14:36Hopefully.
14:37Hopefully if I can get my memory back.
14:39It's not all your fault, is it?
14:41It's been at Chris's darts as well.
14:43Yeah.
14:44He didn't want it.
14:45Oh.
14:46LAUGHTER
14:47If he's playing like this, how do you usually turn his look round?
14:50Give him the magic kiss.
14:52Do you have to look away?
14:53Oh, there.
14:54Oh, no.
14:55LAUGHTER
14:56You've got red all round your mouth.
14:59LAUGHTER
15:01Will the kiss save the day?
15:03Let's find out when we play Pounds for Points.
15:06APPLAUSE
15:08In this game, our three throwers will compete in three rounds of darts
15:14to win a question for their partner.
15:16How much that question is worth depends on the winning score.
15:19And at the end of this round,
15:21the team who's banked the least amount of money
15:23will sadly be heading home.
15:28With that OK throwers, can you please step up to the throw zone?
15:31APPLAUSE
15:32Tina, please step up to the ocu.
15:33APPLAUSE
15:34Come on, Tina.
15:35OK, Tina.
15:36This is Pounds for Points, so let's make every throw count.
15:52APPLAUSE

18:17I had a question for £70.
18:18In 2025, which country did the Lionesses defeat to win the women's Euros?
18:24Spine.
18:25That's correctly, I am, for £70.
18:28It was Spain.
18:29You're right there.
18:30You're just plucking these answers from nowhere, aren't you?
18:31LAUGHTER
18:32So, this is the last round and it's Sanjay to throw first.
18:34APPLAUSE
18:41You're just plucking these answers from nowhere, aren't you?
18:43So, this is the last round and it's Sanjay, so throw first.
18:46Come on, Sanjay. Come on, Sanjay.
18:49We really want a big score here. Settle into it on the hockey.

19:30It's the bullseye!
19:3373!
19:41What a last start. I'll try and motivate you now, Chris.
19:44You don't want it. You don't want it.

25:46So if they reach the number 12 we'll give it
25:491200 pounds to our teams charity of choice

29:40Unbelievable.
29:41That's wonderful. I'm so pleased me and mighty Mike could help.
29:46OK, Michael.
29:49You could finish that minute earlier.
29:51I was just going to ask Richard, how many seconds did we take?
29:53You actually did it with 15 seconds to spare,
29:55so that's beating the Christmas pressure of last year with Luke Littler.
29:59Oh, you beat Luke again!
30:01LAUGHTER
30:03Michael, thank you so much for coming on the show.
30:05Any tips you can give our teams moving forward?
30:07I saw you earlier, but there's still a lot of improvement, but...
30:11LAUGHTER
30:13Most important thing, I hope you're all happy
30:15with the amount we reach for your charity.

30:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
30:24What a man, Michael Van Gerwen.
30:33Anyway, on with the game.
30:35Well done for making it this far.
30:37Leigh-Anne, any words of encouragement for Tina?
30:40Just hit the number.
30:41Right.
30:42Simple as that?
30:43Yeah, simple advice.
30:44What about you, Matt and Sanjay?
30:46Just try harder.
30:47LAUGHTER
30:48It should be as well, cos this is now north versus south.
30:54Oh, here we go.
30:55Here we go.
30:56OK, Leigh-Anne, Matt, Sanjay,
30:58are you ready to play Bully's head-to-head game?
31:01Yes.
31:02Yeah.
31:03APPLAUSE
31:05Whoever wins will be going through to play Bully's prize board.
31:09Richard, can you give us the rules, please?
31:12Bully's head-to-head is like a darts version of a penalty shootout.
31:16Before we play, let me assure you, your money is safe.
31:19You're now scoring points to secure a place at Bully's prize board
31:23and you will take turns to face questions with a numerical answer
31:27from 1 to 20.
31:29It's then up to the thrower to hit that number on the board.
31:32Here's the pressure.
31:33You'll only have one dart.
31:35Hit the correct answer, you score a point.
31:38Miss, score nothing.
31:40We play this game on a Yorkshire board, just for Freddie.
31:44So no trebles are on there, but watch out, the doubles do count.
31:48The best of three, good luck to everyone.
31:51APPLAUSE
31:54OK, a lot is at stake on these darts.
31:57Leanne and Tina, you're in the lead at the end of the last round,
32:00so you choose if you want to have the first or second question set.
32:04The first, please.
32:05You're going to go first? OK, let's play.
32:07Throwers, make your way to the throw zone.
32:09APPLAUSE
32:10OK, Leanne, here's your first question.
32:20Remember, you can confer.
32:22In the 12 Days of Christmas song, how many turtle doves are there?
32:27Two.
32:28Yep, two. Yep.
32:29She's in the zone.
32:30You've gone for two.
32:31Step up, Tina.
32:32Good, Tina.
32:33APPLAUSE
32:34Two turtle doves, you think.
32:35Come on.
32:36In two!
32:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
32:39And that is the correct answer, Leanne.
32:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
32:41Matt, here's your question.
32:42Luke Littler became the youngest ever world darts champion in 2025,
32:43but how old was he?
32:44I think he was 18.
32:45Yeah, 17 or 18.
32:46Going 18.
32:47I think 18, yeah.
32:48I think 18, yeah.
32:49Try for 18.
32:50OK, Sanjay.
32:51You're looking 18.
32:52Yeah.
32:53I think he was 18.
32:54And that's the right answer, Leanne.
32:56And that's the right answer.
32:57The right answer is the right answer.
32:58And that's the right answer.
32:59And that's the right answer.
33:00Matt, here's your question.
33:03Luke Littler became the youngest ever world darts champion in 2025,
33:08but how old was he?
33:09I think he was 18.
33:10Yes, 17 or 18.
33:1218.
33:13I think 18, yeah.
33:14Try for 18.
33:1518.
33:16OK, Sanjay.
33:18You're looking at 18. It's your choice.
33:21He's gone outside. He was older than that.
33:24He was older than zero.
33:26Well, you've missed the board, but also you got the wrong answer.
33:30Luke Littler was actually only 17 at the time, Matt.
33:33Leanne, here's your next question.
33:362025 is the year of the snake in the Chinese Zodiac.
33:40How many animals make up the Zodiac?
33:43Tina, 12?
33:45There's 12 on L's, isn't there? Do they have an extra one?
33:47Go, 12. Go, 12.
33:51Oh, I got off. Oh, yeah, sorry.
33:54You're doing my job, Leanne.
33:58Tina, you're fine.
33:59OK.
34:01You've opted for 12.
34:10That's in 12.
34:11APPLAUSE
34:13How confident are you, Leanne?
34:19Not very, no.
34:21You should be. It is 12. Congratulations.
34:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
34:24So that's 2-0 to Leanne and Tina.
34:31Matt and Sanjay, you have to get this one correct to stay in the game.
34:33How many suspects are there in a standard game of Cluedo?
34:38Boy, you're the board game man, Sanjay.
34:40I don't know anything about Cluedo.
34:41Monopoly, I'm brilliant at.
34:43LAUGHTER
34:44Well, there's...
34:45..pressive plum and...

35:04Six?
35:04Try six.
35:06They're going to try for six.
35:08Sanjay, six we want.
35:12It's in ten.
35:14It's ten suspects.
35:17And the answer was six, Matt.
35:19Unlock it.
35:21Never mind.
35:22That means, Leanne and Tina, you go through to play Bullies Prizebook.
35:26Congratulations.
35:26Tina, go and join your team, Matt.
35:29CHEERING
35:29APPLAUSE
35:30But sadly, that does mean we're going to have to say goodbye
35:47to Matt and Sanjay.
35:49Matt, please come over and join Sanjay.
35:52APPLAUSE
35:52Thank you, Matt.
35:55Oh, we thought you'd have had a good time.
35:59Have you enjoyed it?
36:00Yeah, very much so.

40:27Let's get off to a good start.
40:29Remember, take your time.
40:30It's all yours.
40:31Come on, Tina.
40:33Come on, I'm going to show up.

42:31do they want to risk all those prizes
