to be honest with you, which mostly i endeavour to be, look you see, i'd have thought that i was pretty much done with the subject of celebrated TV show Bullseye here on this blog. over time i have done things like observed the Christmas special edition of the show. also, as notoriously as recently, i exposed many of the dark secrets hidden in plain sight. surely no more could be spoken of the show, as magnificent as it was.
and yet here i am. or, indeed, here we are, for you are reading his. presumably. what startling revelation has come along which has seen me take digital pen to paper in order that i may once again write upon this subject? a concept known as Bullseye Fashion Week
let me try and describe the scenario to you. it was relatively late in the evening - say 10pm or so. i was off to bed, to be sure, as i was truly knackered or exhausted. just the evening before i had stayed up later than intended. this was for a number of reasons, but the main one i suppose would be to watch the magnificent film Deathgasm. anyway, i was to retire early for the night, but then i foolishly flicked through the electronic TV guide. this was on the TV, the main conduit for such.
through my flicking i found the Challenge channel, then. when i had done this i observed that instead of just saying Bullseye was on at 11pm it said that Bullseye Fashion Week was on. curious, intrigued and if i am honest a little bit aroused i was hard on myself, then. i stayed up so that i may see just what this would involve.
quite simply the truth here is that i am uncertain. for the sake of giving you something to read i shall of course speculate, but no firm or otherwise articulate answer was given in respect of why exactly the repeat screenings of Bullseye this week were thematically attributed as being "fashion week".
one might say that it was because the suits that Jim Bowen was wearing were particularly dapper. this is plausible, except for the part where every suit that Jim Bowen wore was dapper. to highlight some as being a bit more dapper than others is rather like trying to say to someone "oh, look, this part of the ocean is a little bit more wet than that part".
perhaps it was with reference to the famously funny opening "light entertainment" segments of the show. in this particular edition his eminence Jim Bowen cracked one of the funniest jokes of all time, relating as it did to some white socks worn by an Oxford (or was it Cambridge) University Don that he was providing guidance, wisdom and advice to.
as the above image reflects it is not like there was anything particularly exceptional about the fashions being flaunted by the contestants in this episode. i mean, yes, they are some smart clothes and fancy threads there. contextually, however, they were i believe quite restrained when you consider that this episode heralded from the 80s.
should the contestants be smartly but not overtly dressed, then, and Jim Bowen was looking his usual sartorial greatest, we must look in that one other direction. i speak, or rather type, of course of Tony Green. the gentleman, the prince among men, the wonderful Tony Green. perhaps the suit he was resplendent with, or maybe the Slazenger style golf jumper if he was smart casual and no Royals were in the audience, was of a particularly discerning nature. such would surely justify branding this screening of Bullseye under the title 'Fashion Week'.
yes, i am going to go right ahead here and say no. whilst it is a most splendid - no, superb - suit, i'm afraid that it's one which would be a fairly standard aspect of the Tony Green wardrobe. much as is the case with his grace Jim Bowen if this Tony Green suit counts for "Fashion Week" on Bullseye then every single episode of Bullseye is thus part of it.
with interest i note, nay observe, that Tony Green is indeed resplendent in a suit,yet is facing away from the audience. fascinating. in respect of that critically acclaimed and highly regarded expose on the secrets of the series - which you can find by clicking here - this means that a member of the Royal family was in the audience. or a senior member of the aristocracy. but not a particularly important or well liked one, for Mr Green has his back turned. oh. perhaps it was Fergie, then, or maybe even Edward.
the weeks, months and years ahead are likely to see us see a lot more of Jim Bowen. i am reliably informed that them lot what do the Netflix and that have commissioned a series on him, with Jonathan Pryce cast in the lead role. a down side is the fact that it will concentrate more on his later life when he was Pope rather than on the Bullseye era, but then again it is not like his papal work hasn't been interesting or important. wonderfully it is so that no less than Sir Anthony Hopkins has been cast in the pivotal Tony Green role, although word is that the Welsh hard man propose to play the part with a German accent for some reason.
and that would be, that, then. you, dear reader, know as much as i do about what exactly Bullseye Fashion Week is. unless you so happen to know more than me on the subject.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
