I do wonder if the move to Saturday night was to do with the various changes that were mooted by Carlton and ITV for the 15th series in 1996, to then see how it did in a primetime Saturday night slot.

I do wonder though what they were thinking of changing as I’ve never really seen anything documented or posted anywhere about it.

Far as I know Andrew Wood has never discussed them. "A sixteenth series was declined as the conditions demanded by the network were unacceptable and would not have been in the interests of either Bullseye or its fans."

For all we know there may not have been any changes demanded, or maybe they wanted to chop the budget and pay the talent less, or take the physical stuff out in favour of screens and what not... we'll probably never know. Though if that was the case it would be ironic considering the 2006 revival was pretty much a carbon copy of the original (later) set anyway!

Of course lots of changes at ITV in this period and many other shows did change or end. Krypton Factor is the obvious example here.
