The Minotaur got so bored in the Labyrinth inbetween eating Athenian youths (that had wrecked his waistline) that he took up playing darts.
This paid off in the 1980s when a chap called Jim Bowen asked him if he’d star as the mascot of his new darts themed quiz show; all he had to do was appear on the title sequence and introduce his own special prize board, pose for a few bendy figures and he could even eat the occasional failed contestant!
