DARTS game show Bullseye is on target for a return - and TV Biz wants veteran Jim Bowen at the helm.
Creator Andrew Wood is in talks with Five about resurrecting the classic series, in which teams answer questions and throw darts.
The show gave away speedboats and caravans as prizes while runners-up went home with tankards - and silver goblets for the ladies. They also got toy versions of Bully, its mascot.
Insiders said Jim, 72, could be too old to host it. Comedian Justin Lee Collins is favourite, as he is already one of Five's leading stars.
But TV Biz would love to see Jim back, as fans say he embodies Bullseye.
A previous incarnation of the show in 2006, with comic Dave Spikey and commentator Tony Green presenting, didn't have the spark.
Jim, whose catchphrases included "Super, smashing, great" and "You can't beat a bit of Bully" is taking a live version to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer.
He said: "When I see some of the shows on just now, I think we could keep up with them. If I was asked to come back, I would certainly consider it."
Wood said he couldn't wait to bring the show back, although Five has asked him to find a sponsor to help fund it.
He said: "There is plenty of quantity on TV but not much quality. So many formats are awful. Bullseye could be Five's flagship show."
Bullseye first aired in 1981 in a Sunday afternoon slot on ITV, when it pulled in up to 15million viewers. It was axed in 1995.
ITV brought it back as part of its Saturday night Gameshow Marathon in 2005 and 2007, first with Ant and Dec and then Vernon Kay.
