The creator of the fan-favourite 1990s game show Bullseye has sadly passed away at the age of 91, his family confirmed. Andrew Wood and comic Norman Vaughan co-created the legendary darts-themed game show in 1980. It didn’t take long for it to catapult to fame and become an ITV mainstay in the 80s and 90s.

His daughter, Laura Wood, confirmed his passing on the popular social media site, LinkedIn. She revealed that her father d!ed on Sunday (November 16) in a heartfelt statement. It read: “On Sunday morning, my Mum and I said a goodbye that we always knew was coming, but so desperately never wanted to.

“Most people will know him as the man (the legend) who created Bullseye. I simply know him as Dad. I’m struggling to find the words to fully describe this immense loss, but I was so incredibly proud to be his daughter. A pride that now sits alongside grief

“Dad led a life that, quite frankly, many can only dream of, from working with Don Arden, the Godfather of Rock, to cutting F1 drivers’ hair, owning the first record shop in Kingston-upon-Thames, to creating Bullseye, and so much more in between.

“The man I knew, although a little calmer in lifestyle, was never anything but driven, passionate, and relentless in his vision. He knew with Bullseye that he had a hit on his hands, and my goodness, he was right.

She concluded: “He taught me that you have to believe in yourself, your goals, and your dreams, because if you don’t, no one else will. He leaves behind the most wonderful legacy with Bullseye, and I can only hope I can continue to make him proud by carrying his creation forward.”
