Bullseye - Worst Ever Darts Player?

I know the team has to be a darts player and a non darts player but you'd think if they knew they were going on Bullseye they'd have practised a bit!

[@dvidclapperton]

The whole board seems like the bullseye to most non darts players that appeared on the show.

[@doctormarazanvose4373]

nerves was probably a factor

[@bigusdicus3677]

That was after he had practised!

[@Debbiebabe69]

yea thats why Bullseye would never work these days, the 'darts player' would be a LOT higher standard (its said a decent pub player these would be a top 50 in the world player in the 80s), but even more of a difference would be the 'non darts player' (those who applied would be professional game show players who would be practicing arrows night and day). Remember, back in the 1980s there was pretty much no way to practice darts like there is today, where anyone can go to a pub darts board and throw, or just spend £20 at sports direct for thier own board....

[@AGxAG]

@@Debbiebabe69Almost every pub,function hall ,snooker hall had a dart board so there was places to go. Thats why a darts show took off because people were playing and watching darts. You could buy a board in the catalogues i remember that. Its almost as if the contestants sometimes were picked based on how bad they were rather than how good.

[@aifrench14]

Tony Green must have been s***ing himself as he threw them! The dart player did well to keep his composure with his last three darts as he's clearly trying not to laugh his head off!

[@littlemissnintendofan6558]

I can never understand how "non dart players" always throw darts in a stupid way! They see how others throw and it works, then they invent their way and fail miserably. It's not rocket science. Arm back, arm forward release. Grinds my gears

[@kisbie]

I play bowls and often feel the same way. Different body shapes and sizes naturally mean some variation in style, but the basic fundamental of delivering the object seems too obvious to get constantly badly wrong. Yet some people do. However, it is also possible this guy is a touch dyspraxic.

[@flyingvman1843]

I can never understand why someone who can't play goes on there, you would think they would both be good players to give themselves a chance if they get to the star prize.

@@flyingvman1843 you need someone who's good at darts and someone who's good at general knowledge and okay at darts

[@Debbiebabe69]

@@flyingvman1843 this is the 1980s, not the current day. The guy probably had never thrown a dart in his life. Unlike today when you can just go to the pub and throw, pub dartboards back then were STRICTLY members only. And there was no Sports Direct selling cheap dartboards so you could practice at home - not that it would matter, those were the Thatcher days, working people struggled to afford food so a dartboard would be WELL out of thier reach.

Great clip. Love some of the comments below. The darts landed sort of sideways on. Like when you throw one and the flite comes off.

The best ones, in terms of entertainment, are usually the non darts players as they're most likely to somehow end up hitting treble 14s when they are just aiming to get the dart to stick anywhere at all in the board. Great show, RIP to Jim.
