Dick & Dom Back!!

I had a feeling that you might be the one who starts a Dick & Dom thread. Can you tell us all when you actually go on the show, just so we can work out who you are.

Anyway it will be interesting to see how the show does against MoM. In the last series MoM had just started and it was poor, but now they have built up a relatively strong format.

The CBBC presenters normally do. They have set things they need to say, but that's diffrent to woking with a script

Oh yes, certainly. They come up with a few ideas beforehand and decide what fancy camerawork and stuff they're going to do in the next link. But Dick and Dom appeared to be making it up literally as they were going along within the times they had.

I'm not a regular children's television viewer (I WATCH CBBC EVERY DAY), but why the heck is Andrew in a cage? Is he seriously being paid to sit there without speaking for a week?!

Just turned on BBC One and D&D are still presenting!! YAHOO!! Good they can bring their Bungalow stylings to the CBBC

Well here's one person who'll miss Mysti. The charter renewal is fast approaching and I thought the BBC was supposed to be getting their house in order in their quest to retain the licence fee. So what do they do? Recommission its worst ever Saturday morning effort complete with even more toilet humour, tasteless jokes and infantile pap than ever. The programme has no redeeming features whatsoever.

Mysti, on the other hand, was quite an unusual programme which worked on all levels - part drama, part celebs/gossip, features and viewer participation. Even if the story inserts were laughable, it was an original idea with a broad appeal.

Let's face it, anything's better than the Bungalow but the one thing in its favour is it justifies a Saturday morning lie-in! Go Go Dick And Dom. As far away as possible!

Oh, I never realised that you were of the kids TV watching age.

Please remember that these programmes are not made for the benefit of adults, but to allow children to be children and just have a bit of fun without the pressures of modern life and celebrity worship...

Just a thought.

We all have our preferences. But I rather think you're in the minority. D&D make me cry with laughter more often than not. Surely that can only be a good thing.

Sorry but i was ment to put the (poo!!) after TSS!!! Mysti was good enough, it would be good if it stayed (but not taking time from D&D). I watched it once or twice and it seemed good, but nothing that i would get up for!

And you are?


I'm writing this as someone who wouldn't have been impressed by Dick and Dom when he was the target audience. OK, so children have always loved toilet humour, belching contests etc. but until now children's TV hasn't pandered to them. Quite frankly, youngsters deserve better. Saddest thing of all is that in their Studio 9 days, Dick and Dom were two of the better presenters.

The more I hear about this programme the less I like; that "Lizo Mzimba" business is too near the knuckle. And "bogies" - what a waste of an interactive stream.

Nothing like a bit of light hearted fun on a Saturday Morning or shall we get Johnny Ball back on and tell the kids how to count?

Dick N Dom is like marmite, the love and hate thing. I hate the over the top gunging but I love Bogies. I might be 26 but the laughing I do like a little boy seems to cheer me up on a Saturday morning.

I'm guessing Simon that you broke a window when you heard:

"What are you doing tonight Dom?"
"Cheryl Tweedy"

Or did you miss it? I certainly laughed out loud. And why not?!
