FOOTBALL fans were left gushing over BBC1’s Saturday night TV schedule.

That’s after Arsenal legend David Seaman hijacked the screen for the evening.

Viewers even declared “the licence fee is worth every penny” after Seaman appeared on back-to-back shows.

The former Gunners and England goalie, 60, was first spotted on BBC1 as a contestant on popular quiz show The Weakest Link.

Seaman took to the screen alongside wife Frankie, 50.

The loved-up couple met after they were paired together on Dancing On Ice.

And Seaman provided plenty of chuckles as he ran the gauntlet with The Weakest Link host, comedian Romesh Ranganathan.

However, the former stopper’s work for the evening was not done there.

After The Weakest Link, he then stunned fans by appearing in the very next programme.

Supporters were gobsmacked as a special episode of Pointless began, with Seaman and Frankie one of the pairings for the quiz show hosted by Alexander Armstrong.

But the couple provided plenty of laughs yet again.

And fans couldn’t help taking to social media to praise Seaman’s antics.

One said: “Is that just a weird scheduling coincidence?”

Another declared: “Two consecutive programmes containing frequent David Seaman chuckles.

“The licence fee is worth every penny.”

Indeed, Seaman’s appearances on both BBC1 shows turned out to be a success for the man himself.

The ace was all smiles as he finished fourth in The Weakest Link.

Seaman then followed it up by winning Pointless — but he painfully failed to get the final ‘Pointless’ answer to land the grand cash prize.

However, Seaman is unlikely to hold either achievement alongside his success in football.

The ace won three league titles during a 13-year spell at Arsenal, where he played 564 times.

He also won four FA Cups at Highbury, and was capped 75 times by England between 1988 and 2002.
