Bullseye co-creator Andrew Wood's will revealed
Andrew Wood, who co-created the iconic darts game show Bullseye with Norman Vaughan, died in November 2025 at the age of 91.
Bullseye's co-creator Andrew Wood left almost £100,000 in his will, following his death at the age of 91.
The dad of two - who passed away on November 23, 2025 - gifted his wife Jane, 81, £90,580, as well as his entire estate, including the copyright to Bullseye, the legendary darts game show that he and Norman Vaughan made in 1981, which initially ran with Jim Bowen at the helm for 14 years.
Last November, Andrew's daughter Laura Wood announced his death on LinkedIn.
She penned: "On Sunday morning, my Mum and I said a goodbye that we always knew was coming, but so desperately never wanted to."
The managing director of Bullseye Group Limited then paid a heartfelt tribute to her dad.
Laura continued: "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.
"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."
Laura and Jane are still involved with Bullseye, which was first revived in 2006 with 74-year-old Dave Spikey.
ITV brought the show back with a Christmas Special in December 2024, before the network ordered a series in November 2025.
The network recently announced that it has commissioned a second series of Bullseye, in which pairs, one being an amateur dart player, the "thrower", and the other being the "knower", who answers questions and scores points by throwing darts to win prizes and cash.
Former cricketer Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff, 48, who hosts Bullseye, said in a statement: “It’s great that Bullseye still has a special place in the nation’s heart, as it does mine, and I loved bringing it back on TV screens.
“I can’t wait to see what a new season brings."
Katie Rawcliffe, the Director of Entertainment, Reality and Daytime Commissioning at ITV, described Bullseye as a "cherished format which has proved incredibly popular with viewers since its return, undoubtedly helped by Freddie”.
She added: “We’re thrilled to be bringing another series to screens later this year.”
Laura Wood is "thrilled to see it continue to resonate with viewers across generations".
She continued: "Freddie has embraced the show's heritage while helping introduce Bullseye to new audiences.
"I’m delighted to build on the success of its return and bring more of the fun and entertainment that has made Bullseye a British favourite for over four decades."
