Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow (partially lost British children's TV series; 2002-2006)
The shows title card
Status: Partially Lost
Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow was a UK television program made by the BBC for young viewers and presented by Dick & Dom (Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood). The show was live and unscripted, as Dick & Dom let 6 kids (later 5 kids and celebrities) into their house for games. The show won two children's BAFTA awards.[1][2][3]
Availability
The first two series aired on the CBBC channel in fall 2002 and spring 2003 respectively. In Fall 2003, the main Saturday show premiered on BBC One (as well as the CBBC Channel), meaning it reached a much wider audience. The show became very popular at this point, because merchandise became available, including a best of DVD set.[4]
The Sunday show remained exclusive to the CBBC Channel throughout its run till Fall 2004 where it returned again on BBC One. Some small clips have appeared online from this series, along with a partial recording of the last episode of the series (aired March 12th, 2005). In Fall 2005, it returned again to BBC One, though this series was interrupted multiple times and forced to go to BBC Two due to news events. In January 2006, it permanently moved over to BBC Two until the show was ended in March 2006.[5][6]
The full episodes are unlikely to be repeated again, due to their live nature, usage of premium rate phone numbers and use of copyrighted content (mainly cartoons which the BBC had the rights to air at the time, but may no longer do). The cartoons themselves could also be considered lost, as they were edited to become an audience game (characters holding up words, if you called in you could win a prize). At the end of Series 4 (March 2005), 8 special episodes entitled "Comic Relief in da Bungalow" were broadcast throughout the week leading up to the last episode.
