'Bullseye' live theatre tour booked for autumn

The revival will feature darts stars including former world champions Eric Bristow, John Lowe and Bob Anderson.
"Bullseye is one of the most successful quiz shows in TV history - it's great to be part of its return," Anderson told The Sun.
The show originally ran between 1981 and 1995 and was presented by Jim Bowen, who will not host the theatre tour. Instead, stand-up comedian Neil Wheatley will take over as host.
Audiences will reportedly compete for a £500 cash prize and items ranging from trouser presses to teasmades.
Speculation arose last year that Bullseye was to be revived by Channel 5, with Justin Lee Collins serving as host.
The comedian told Digital Spy that the reports were "a total rumour", but added that he would host a revived show "in a heartbeat" if approached, describing it as "one of the greatest ever gameshows".
The Bullseye theatre tour starts in Redhill, Surrey on October 14.
