Here are the details of the celebrities who appeared in the Christmas episodes of Bullseye.
Alvin Stardust. Series 4 appearance. Singer. Came on to accept the charity cheque when the second contestants left.
Anne Aston. Series 3 and 4. Actress and presenter: Golden Shot etc. In series 4 in the charity round, she kept the scores while Tony Green threw the first six darts, and then she threw the last three.
Anne Diamond. Series 3 contestant. Presenter, journalist. Raised awareness of the importance of putting babies to bed on their backs, thus helping to save literally thousands of lives every year. When you think about it, there are thousands and thousands of people who are alive today because of Anne Diamond, yet none of them could ever know. It makes the other guests look slightly irrelevant. This picture came from a documentary about Bullseye, and Challenge doesn't have this episode as of 2024.
