Re. Bullseye, the issue with reviving it is that like any popular show being brought back it will be compared to an original which is hard to match. The audience who want it aren't of great numbers and not the type that channels who could afford to make the show want anyway. The other thing that holds it back is that darts has largely fallen out of the public consciousness and those with an interest in it are the ones who pay a fortune to sit with their mates at a table miles from a stage for the bragging rights and because of the money involved. It's big business and has become an elitist sport in many ways since the 1993 split and I think any gameshow this audience would like to see would be a slick, "serious" endurance competition rather than one being sullied with questions on general knowledge and naff prizes, so far removed from Bullseye as you could be. If anyone remembers Tenball hosted by Philip Schofield, think that for darts.
