There has been speculation that Bullseye is to return to the box; who would be your choice for the new programme's presenter, and why?
Personally I think that Jim Bowen could not be surpassed; regrettably Jim made a on-air faux pas during his later radio broadcasting career, and got the chop; I think permanently.
Is the original Bullseye, that used to enjoy audiences of more than fifteen million on Sunday afternoons, just too good to be beaten? The Dave Spikey version wasn't great, in my opinion. |

There are other obstacles preventing his return other than ‘cancel culture’. |

It wont be returning, just like Big Break won't be returning. Neither are big enough sports anymore to warrant them coming back. They are very much shows of their time.
Sky tried to do something similar a few years back with a show called 180. Wasn't great. |

"Jim Bowen was great but it's humour that the woke and pc brigade wouldn't allow these days If you change it, you ruin it so leave it in the past"
Except when he called a black person a “n**-n**” on live radio.
That just wasn’t very funny for anyone.
The Cambridge Dictionary has “woke” defined as follows:
“aware, especially of social problems such as racism and inequality:
“She urged young black people to stay woke.”
I really fail to see why so many see it as an insult. |

He didn't use it as a racial slur. He meant it as an idiot. As old people from Lancashire used that term. |

So, he could have done with being more “woke” possibly? Then he would have understood the links behind it and why it was just a deeply offensive term.
If I call someone a re***d, but only mean it because they’ve done something silly and not because I think they’ve got a developmental disability or similar… it’s still pretty ableist and unpleasant. |

"It'll be from ITVs usual roster, Phillip Schofield, Ant & Dec, or that other grinning oaf who looks like a cross between the two of them."
