Bullseye Returns on ITV With Freddie Flintoff, Luke Littler and Richard Ashdown

ITV launches a four-part revival that keeps the classic thrower–knower format under Freddie Flintoff with Richard Ashdown alongside Luke Littler.

Overview

  • Brand-new episodes begin November 9 at 8pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player as the show’s comeback moves from a Christmas special to a full run.
  • The lineup pairs host Freddie Flintoff with Master of Ceremonies Richard Ashdown and teenage darts star Luke “The Nuke” Littler.
  • The revival sticks closely to the original structure with a dart-throwing teammate and a quiz-answering partner competing for prizes including the mystery star prize.
  • An early episode features contestants Gail and JoJo telling Flintoff they plan matching Bully tattoos if they win, offering a light-hearted nod to fan devotion.
  • The return leans into nostalgia for Jim Bowen’s era—famed for big audiences and speedboat star prizes—with media also recalling the 1989 appearance of convicted murderer John Cooper as a notable historical footnote.
