Dick and Dom recall 20 years of mischief-making on Steph's Packed Lunch

Dick and Dom have reflected on 20 years since their hit children's TV programme first launched in the UK. Appearing on Steph's Packed Lunch on Channel 4, the comedy double-act – Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood – recalled how the volume of toilet humour on Dick & Dom in da Bungalow caused a string of complaints from angry parents and MPs at the time.

But the duo said taking "a lot of risks" was a key reason why the show found success. Da Bungalow ran for five series on the BBC between 2002 and 2006.

Recurring features on the live Saturday morning game show included cartoons, slapstick puppet sketches and "Bogies" – a game in which the pair took turns to shout "bogies" in quiet public places at gradually increasing volumes.
