Bowen hits Bullseye with Fringe return

LEGENDARY darts gameshow Bullseye is set for a comeback this summer – complete with original presenter Jim Bowen.

The 72 year-old presenter is in talks to resurrect the cult show for two weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe.

He wants to get stars from the comedy festival to join in on stage and promises the star prizes will be as bizarre as ever.

His 15 years on the show were shunned by Sky bosses when they recently brought back the darts contest without him.

But Bowen said: "We're in negotiations with the man who owns the rights to the show and we plan to do it as close to the real thing as possible."

"It will hopefully happen in the last two weeks of August, although the contracts have still to be signed."

Bullseye lured up to 15 million viewers each weekend until 1995.
