Andrew Flintoff will resume his TV career in December when he hosts a one-off Christmas special of the iconic UK quiz show, Bullseye.
The darts-themed show was a cult hit in the 1980s, pitting three pairs of contestants against one another, each team with a specialist in general knowledge and the other with an ability at the dartboard.
Fronted by the comedian Jim Bowen, the show was especially memorable for its range of kitsch prizes, from beer tankards to automatic tea-makers and "his and hers" watches, all the way through to "Bully's Special Prize" - usually a small car, caravan or speedboat, as revealed by the eponymous cartoon bull who doubled as the programme's mascot.

"I think the understanding of the game for me is that cricket should improve wherever you play. I was just trying to help the other team, that they can set a fielder here. It was amazing actually, I enjoyed it," Pant said at the end of the day's play.
A fiery ton, match-winning partnership and that field setting moment
