routine. Worth noting, though, that while the show did indeed infamously offer a speedboat as the star prize (allegedly due to a producer making a deal with a speedboat company to get himself a cheap boat, and in exchange offering them in the bonus round for years), if you watch the many repeat episodes on Challenge you can see that the top prize was just as (if not more) likely to be a new car (usually a small hatchback like an Austin (later Rover) Metro or a Talbot Samba), a fully fitted kitchen, a luxury holiday, and even a treasure chest containing £5,000 (which was won at least once).

* UndesirablePrize: For several years, a speedboat was a regular star prize in the bonus round. This was allegedly due to a producer of the show doing a deal with a speedboat company to get himself a boat at a cheap cost, and then having to offer them as prizes for some time in exchange for the discount. While England is an island, many people on the show were in landlocked cities like Wolverhampton, as thus couldn't make use of a boat

If the darts player aimed for the middle left hand segments (14, 11, 8) then they would be very likely to win the prize. However, they would instead aim for the 20 segment and stray into the 1 and/or 5 segment.

* RetroactiveRecognition: The likes of Phil Taylor and Raymond Van Barneveld appearing in the charity rounds in some later series. The popularity of darts as a professional game was at a low ebb in the early 1990s and neither of these were well-known at that point (even Taylor, who had already won two world titles by 1992). Catching these on a Challenge repeat decades later is quite a fun experience after such players had amassed countless titles and recognition.
