Jim Bowen isnt just a pretty face.
Hes also famous for giving away money and prizes on classic ITV darts quiz showBullseye.
Watching reruns on Challenge recently got us wondering was it ever possible to really clean up onBullseye?
But how much could you win if everything goes in your favour?
Whats the absolute most you could win onBullseye?
We decided to try and work it out.
This will be relevant later on, when we get to the Prize Board.

In the category round, there are 9 potential questions to answer.
Add to this the possibility of each player hitting the bullseye every time.
If a player hits the bullseye, 200 is added to the couples total.
Lets start simply, with couple A (Derek and Mavis).
For each turn, Derek hits the bullseye, giving the pair 600.
Mavis answers all the questions correctly, adding 180 to the total.
Mavis could then answer the questions herself, earning her and Derek 360.
So far, Derek and Mavis total is 1140.
And the other couples really, really hate them.
If Mavis gets all her questions right, this will give the couple a further 540.
Their total is now 1680, but theyre probably the least popular people in the building.
Heres where weve had to do a bit of guesswork.
In a lot of cases, this reputation is certainly deserved, but some prizes are pretty valuable.
Right, lets put our best Tony Green voices on
In 1!
A set of garden tools
Every week.
Handy if, like us, you live in a first floor flat.
Weve gone for this six piece garden tool set, costing 29.99.
A Sega Master System
It was a toss up between this or a kids battery powered jeep.
However, because this is Den Of Geek, we naturally went for the console.
This Master System 2 comes withAlex Kidd In Miracle Worldbuilt in, and costs 59.99.
This crystal flower bowl is the closest match in the Argos catalogue, but we reckon its close enough.
Not surprisingly, its not one of the more expensive prizes, costing just 9.99.
This automatic tea and coffee maker will set you back 54.50.
And Bullys special prize
The special prize can vary wildly, anything from a BMX to a decanter set.
Finally, we have the gamble.
whether youre any good at darts or not.
From series 11 onwards, you also had to gamble your money.
If you choose to gamble, you must score 101 or more with 6 darts.
Obviously, Derek and Mavis are going to gamble, and they will win the gamble.
Of course, we didnt really have a choice but to have a speedboat as the star prize.
This in turn raises a question which we are unable to find a satisfactory answer to.
But you certainly couldnt win enough to retire on, which we all probably knew already.
