You can’t have failed to notice that Jim Bowen, star of hit darts quiz Bullseye, has died. He was 80.
We don’t normally do tributes to the dead at Bother’s Bar – other people do them better. However, seeing as everyone else is going to do Bullseye, here’s a poor quality video of Jim pissing himself laughing at a poor quality escapologist act live on Sky Channel’s Sky Star Search with Keith Chegwin. The other judge is Rustie Lee.
Someone reminded me yesterday that we used to have the Jim Bowen Great-o-Meter to rate formats, back when Bother’s Bar used to be funny. I’ll try and dig out the pictures at the weekend.
