Not sure if its me but every time Challenge shows 1995 Bullseye it always seems a bit curtailed. Apparently they made 13 episode of that final series which went out on Saturdays originally, but I don't think I've ever seen them air 13 episodes of it before looping back to some arbitrary point?
Unless of course those episodes have people in them who can't be seen these days but I very much doubt that, as by 1995 the only "celebrity" was the darts players themselves. Anybody else appearing on the show as a celebrity had stopped after 1992.
Was it ever stated why they moved Bullseye to Saturdays in 1995? It was pretty much cult TV viewing on a Sunday night at its peak. Presumably ITV wanted to get rid of it and the easiest way to kill a show is to dump it in a graveyard slot.
