Children’s TV icons Dick and Dom are making comeback after 17 years

Dick and Dom are making a comeback after 17 years.

Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood, who hosted Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow from 2002 to 2006, are celebrating the BBC show’s 20th anniversary with a UK tour.

The pair promises to bring out the classic moments from the Bafta-winning programme.

These include the Creamy Muck Muck segment where the audience get covered in gunk, and the games two-word tango, the fairly hairy fizzogs, pants dance and what a sweaty flap.

The now 45-year-old hosts said they have hit the gym to ensure they can keep up with the pace of the show.

Speaking to the Glasgow Times, McCourt said: "It’s mad that 20 years have flown by, a click of the fingers and here we are bringing it back to the stage."

Wood added: "One of the maddest things is the average age of the viewer back then when we started was 10, so these people are now 30, so that’s just crazy.

"We’re going to the gym a lot because we have to get in peak physical fitness because we’re both around 45 and so we have to go to the gym a lot to make sure that we can physically handle it."

The children’s series first hit screens on August 31, 2002 on CBBC and was then moved to a prime spot on BBC One.

The pair previously performed Da Bungalow Live in 2018 in front of a live audience at the Edinburgh Festival.

Dick & Dom In Da Bungalow kicks off on March 11 at Birmingham Town Hall.
