Dick and Dom call their show "Tat" and "Awful"

After "Dick and Dom in da Bungalow" had finished, Dick and Dom criticized the show. The duo told London radio station LBC that Ask the Family had been "a good experience but we'd like to be honest - it was absolutely shoddy, it was the biggest load of tat that we've ever, ever done. It was just an awful programme." (Link to BBC Article [[1]]). This has been added to the main article :-). I wonder if a fanboi will remove it? ;-)

Yes you'd find that would be their other show "Ask The Family". It has very little to do with this show. J.J.Sagnella 13:18, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bogeys

"Dick and Dom also frequent quiet public places such as museums and restaurants and shout 'Bogeys' at ever-increasing volumes."

Quite amusing, but surely unrelated to the show? Removed until someone can justify. --Air 15:55, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's true, a very popular part of the show. [2] for instance. Or, if you can bring yourself to, google for "dick and dom" bogies... -- Avaragado 19:57, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

absolutely right, should have checked. Re-added with clearer wording, thanks. --Air 10:08, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

image copyright

A good image, where did the image come from (DifferentGravy) for copyright purposes? --Air 20:13, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

DVD Info

Having just bought the DVD today, and noticing it not listed on this page, I just added some brief information about it at the bottom of the article. --CherryMay 14:23, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Updates

I've just given this page a considerable update with a fair bit of new content about what happens in the show. However, I don't know much about what happens on the Sunday bungalow that is different to what happens on Saturday. If anyone has information of this kind, then I would appreciate it if you could add it to this page under the relevant sections.

Cheers! EddieBernard 17:28, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

More updates

I've added a 'series overview' section to the site. I've noticed that since series 5 begun a lot of info regarding previous series appears to have been lost. So hopefully the overview section can allow people to have a rough idea of significant features of each series. Brollachan 20:44, 11 December 2005 (GMT)

Series overview is a cool idea. Nice work.

I'm just wondering where/why "Brum Brum Ding Ding Sing Sing" has vanished from the article, what happened to the list of examples of Creamy Muck Muck parodies, and why no description of Public Transport? EddieBernard 11:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Brum Brum should have a mention on the list, and i think the list of parodies is still there. It was decided there was no need for a description of public transport so it got deleted. J.J.Sagnella
- Where was this decided? EddieBernard 11:49, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've no idea about the 'Brum Brum...' article, though I'll add it in myself under the 'List of Other Games' section as if I recall it was a game. As for public transport the reference that it existed can be found in the 'List of other features' section. In reality it is just one short-term feature in a collection of series and does not justify a full entry. As for the Creamy Muck Muck the list of parodies was removed when the section was redone to include mentions of what happenned in past series, as this information had been lost.

Edit: 'Brum Brum...' does appear in the list of games, the full name is "Melvyn O'Doom's Brum Brum Ding Ding Sing Sing". Brollachan 19:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fansites

Now I apprecitate the edit removing all websites, yet if someone reading the article wants to go off and watch clips of the show. Fan site: Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow Would be very useful as in the other links there are no clips. If anyone agress/disagrees with bringing this ONE site back, please post here.J.J.Sagnella 20:17, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Already readded, there was no need for its removal on any level. -Dynamo_ace Talk

Thanks, if you actually watch the show, you'll know that website is amazingly useful. Such a shame this show is ending in 2 weeks time. J.J.Sagnella 20:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To do list...

I think there are three things that need to be done on this article if anyone is intrested in expanding the article.

1.Add more images from the programe, eppecially on the features, props and charathers.

2.Spoken word version of article

3.Description of well known games on the show, improvements on charathers desgins and possible more detials on the props used (maybe in seperate articles)

That's all i can think of at the moment -Dynamo_ace Talk ---

1. Added a few pics, got a few more bits and pieces captured still on my compter. Brollachan 20:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no! Dick ad Dom have finished!

I wept for so long when they ended,never before will anything so crazy and so funny be on our television sets...

Also, as it has now finished, change all present tense verbs to imperfect or perfect (past). Go Go Dick and dom! J.J.Sagnella 21:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know why they stopped doing them? If so it's be great to see on the article, because I have no idea what they're doing next or why 84.66.114.139 16:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The rumour is that Dick and dom are ending by their own choice as they are 40 this year. J.J.Sagnella 16:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A quick check on their Wiki entries says they're 30 and 28, rather than 40. Before the start of the series it had been reported that they had said it was going to be their last series. Contrary to some reports it was NOT axed by the BBC, as Dick and Dom had decided it was going to be their last series. Brollachan 20:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The BBC's website for Dick & Dom has now been removed from bbc.co.uk, there link in article has been removed. Brollachan 12:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting

This article desperately needs copyediting. —Spe88 19:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Writing Style?

This article is strangely written. There are whole sections in a different tense, and it seems almost conversational in parts. Please don't write 'which I think speaks for itself'. It looks stupid. I don't have the time nor the skill to correct this, but someone urgently needs to do so. Daniel (☎) 19:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you can tell me which bits you are talkinga bout are particularly bad, I can happily edit them better for you. J.J.Sagnella 19:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth did they get away with it?!

I mean "Creamy Muck Muck", "Sweaty Flaps", and so on. Was this programme commissioned by Roger Mellie or something?

I know that back in the 1950s, Captain Pugwash allegedly had "Master Bates", etc., but that was just an urban myth. Dick and Dom seem to have done it for real!

Did no BBC executive see this and think "hang on a minute..."? Or do they simply not get up that early?

Apart from anything else, there's something rather disturbing about two 30-something guys talking to small children about "muck muck" and the like - if a bloke in the street did that he'd be put on the Sex Offenders Register! 217.155.20.163 22:41, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing you're the sort of person who gets the wrong implication for everything? the sort of person who might laught at the following sentence?

Coastal Towns In Britain have invested millions of pounds into Groynes.

Muck descibes something messy and most of these phrases are things which sound memorable and fit well in their themem tune. J.J.Sagnella 23:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, i loved the Mellie reference. Rubberchix 18:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seperation?

Shouldn't Dick and Dom have thier own page, and the bungalow have its own page, is a seperation possible? FoxFanatic

--88.107.160.188 (talk) 12:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC) I totally agree. There are two different pages needed. One for the duo and one for the show. There is so much outside of the show that Richard and Dominic have attcheived![reply]

Records

dose any one know if they beaten any records during their attemts if do can we add to the page. Fanoflionking 18:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
