    Sad day with Stephen Hawking and Jim Bowen. Always enjoyed Bullseye growing up. RIP JIM.

    I must have missed that episode but tell me Stephen Hawking was the one answering the questions, not the one chucking the darts...

    Wondering why people with no interest in watches are on a watch forum?

    A sad day, Jim Bowen was such a great entertainer back in a more innocent time.

    It wouldn't be allowed today as it featured a "bully" and I am sure someone would be offended.

    Don't fret, Professor Hawkins was the one driving the speedboat ;-)

    RIP Jim Bowen

    Wow what a trio of loss . I’ve actually met Jim Bowen in my teens on the QE2 in my late uncles cabin . He was great . Dressed like it was 1975 , dapper as anything - loads of posh signet rings I always noticed his watch and jewellery

    Jim: "And what do you do for a living?"

    Contestant: "I've been unemployed for six months."

    Jim: "Lovely, smashing".

    Listened to him at a pub at the top of the road many years ago. It was a sell out. He drove there in a Jaguar with the reg J80WEN , I notice it still on a Merc, maybe he kept it.
