Dick and Dom in da Bungalow

A live gameshow with prizes, points and minigames- sounds pretty standard. But this show had a magic to it not found in children's TV anymore. The live format and changing kid contestants meant that mistakes were common and many times the presenters would have to fill time on the fly- and this made the show exiting as you never knew what would happen.

The show is also interesting to go back and watch now as you will realize the amount of innuendos and adult jokes they got away with was amazing, and would never stand on today's kids TV, with millennial parents who are so easily offended- which is ridiculous when you think about it considering how parents now buy their kids games like GTA and CoD which depict outright violence and sex. Seems like priorities are not in order.

It's a shame the series was cancelled but it had a good run, and many of us kids who grew up with it still hold out hope for some kind of revival. But apparently there is no room in this world for silly pointless fun anymore- at least according to the House of Commons.

Ignore the snobbish reviews this was a great children's programme and why shouldn't some kids' TV be 'silly' and fun. There are plenty of more serious and educational kids' programmes on TV. The humour was aimed at children and not snobbish old fashioned adults, who find modern TV crude. There is nothing wrong with throwing pies, as it just childish humour aimed at and for children. The title of the show is purposely silly, many people really enjoyed the show and are sorry that its ended. Looking at the guest list other people also must have found it amusing. I hope Dick and Dom get a show on radio 1 because they deserve another programme.

i wonder if its possible to think of a series deserving the title "cult" that didn't see its fair share of battering from all sides.

Dick and Dom in da bungalow was a rare treat, a refreshing moment of good honest home-grown fun in an otherwise pretty bland list of current terrestrial kids "entertainment" shows. the focus wasn't meticulously sculpting a slick, smooth marketing display, but having a bloomin' good time.

the main reason i loved this show is that it actively refused to comply with the current trend of rubbing the egos of scrawny beautiful pop-music-miming 'personalities' with questionable contribution to society. instead, it gave kids (and adults retaining their sense of humour) the opportunity to enjoy the most important part of life... fun.

those people complaining that 'kids are growing up too quickly' and 'magazines should stop implying that unless we're stick-thin models we are less than human' should stop moaning about toilet humour, look this show up, have their creamy mucky cake, and eat it.

okay, so most of the cartoons were re-runs, but they gave you 5 minutes to make breakfast. you didn't watch it for them; you watched it for the presenters and cast who showed us that there are still reasons to smile. it showed kids that they didn't have to force out some boobs and/or chest hair and go out to get drunk quite so soon.

if you combined Timmy Mallett's Wackaday with Family Guy, you'd get Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow. genius. i wonder how long it will take for the Beeb to give us something else of such fun? please bring back Dick, Dom, Ian, Dave, Melv, Steve, Guy, Matt, and the rest of the team on something. soon. please.

as a tribute, have a look at the changes ITV made to its Saturday morning show while da bungalow was running.

i'm looking forward to the sequel, "Dick and Dom in Da Vinci Code"

One of the best Saturday morning shows in the last decade. Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow was one of the funniest, most controversial and most well unscripted shows going. This helped keep Saturday morning shows from dying during the decline of early morning kid shows during the early noughties.

It was a bad move for D&D to call it quits as now there are no Saturday morning kid shows going and its just a shame that the BBC loved it too and its still missed to this day even though its been a year since it ended. Both D&D aren't even doing much on TV anyway only making odd cameos in other shows but not get the attention like they did in da bungalow but their home will always be the bungalow and hope it does get a chance to make a return someday.

All these adults that keep complaining about how childish Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow is, really all you need to do is change the channel! After all the show is aimed at 6-12 year olds and all of the people this age, that i know, happen to love it. It's not a show to educate, it's a show for children to laugh at which i think works. It seems to me that there are a lot of miserable adults, maybe even slightly jealous adults, out there, who need to find something else to have a go about. The show is watched by young and old and some of the games may have risqué names but the children don't see this until people start making a fuss over it and pointing it out. Part of the show is obviously for the older viewer, who can appreciate a sense of humour/jokey side to some of the games titles.
