Hehe, nice one :) I got invited to play guitar at a charity gig he did, by my mate Boomer, guitar player extraordinaire and a mate of Jims. Jim played the trumpet.The Carleton, Morecambe. We met and chatted for a very short time. Then we did the gig. Had a few beers afterwards etc. Anyway, a couple of years later I was at the Redwell with my sisters (then) boyfriend, Pete. I said "Yeah, Jim Bowen comes in here sometimes" "Really"? I like him" 5 minutes later, no joke, in walks Jim. We were sat just by the door. Jim walks in, looks around, looks at me and says "Alright Stew" and walks off to the bar. I feckin pissed meself laughing at the look on Petes face :D

I really didn't realise until I watched this how funny and talented Jim was. Another old school comedian who will be missed.

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Bullseye was one of the few pay offs on a Sunday night, along with Spitting Image , before you had school the next morning on Monday.

[@essexpeter6116]

I never watched Jim on the TV, and did not care for the game show type of program but watching this made me smile and sometimes laugh out loud. Yes it is old fashioned and sometimes non PC but how did he manage to roll it all off so easily? A true old pro.

[@davidcarman5817]

I laughed so much, so hard, so long, I woke up my neighbour who just knocked on my door. He goes to bed at 5pm because he works nights but even he forgave me when I said I was watching Jim Bowen. Just a class act.

All the young and up and coming comedians should be made to watch Jim Bowen to see what a real comedian looks and sounds like.

You can tell he's a comedian from another generation, as he tells something called jokes, instead of a ten minute long monologues about his experience of opening as tin of beans that morning.

Jim was actually a School Teacher, who found more financial help as a Comedian than he could ever have earned had he remained a School Teacher. He actually purchased a former Railway Station to make into his home! I know of no other Teacher who could have achieved as much as did Jim who had a great living form bumbling his words on a Show called Bully! A Show formed around a Darts Board game!

[@Parknest]

RIP Jim Bowen. Bullseye was essential Sunday teatime viewing back in the 1980s. I'd love to have seen this unseen episode assuming it had been edited into a complete episode. He impersonated his fellow comedians quite well. The late great Bernard Manning once said that he looked older than he was.

[@cchance1973]

It was never shown because it never happened. The lowest prize anyone could win in the 1st round was £30 (apart from nothing of course). And the regulations on British TV have always been that the cash and prizes are never paid out until the show is transmitted, if its never broadcast you don't get anything you've 'won'. That's why when people sadly pass away after the recording they show the programme 'at the request of the family' as they are told if its not shown no one will get paid out! Still it was a good story from Jim and he managed to finish the night off by dropping the F bomb.
