News summary

Freddie Flintoff, the former England cricketer, will host a Christmas special of the classic British game show Bullseye, which originally aired from 1981 to 1995 with Jim Bowen as host. This marks Flintoff's return to television following a severe crash while filming Top Gear in 2022, which resulted in significant injuries and a break from the public eye. ITV is hopeful that the special will lead to a full series revival, as Bullseye was known for its unique blend of darts and quiz elements, often awarding unusual prizes. Flintoff has expressed excitement for the role, citing his childhood love for the show and darts. His recent appearances include a BBC documentary where he opened up about his crash. The reboot aims to capture the original's humor and nostalgia, potentially reviving past practices such as awarding speedboats and using iconic catchphrases.
