Synopsis
This is a game show that is a totally new format. There are no bits nicked from other shows, probably due to the fact that no other shows revolve around bodily functions. Six kids visit "Da Bungalow" and play games to win Bungalow points and prizes.
Games include:
Bogies Dick and Dom try to shout the word Bogies louder than the other in a random place.
Creamy Muck Muck Kids throw slop all over each other. Normally has a theme - on one occasion it was Hard Spell, but renamed Muck Spell.
Eenymeenymackerackararidominackashickapoppadickapoppoompomstick Dick and Dom stick faces on to the back of people's clothes without them noticing. The intellectual equivalent of Britney Spears.
There are lots of others, changed frequently, but those are the most famous.
This adds up to a "funny" (cough) show.
Key moments
A caller named Charlie Nunley rang the show to play one of the games but wasn't on the right channel.
By the time "Digital Switchover" happens, he would know what the CBBC Channel is.
The aforementioned Creamy Muck Muck, where Dick and Dom get more involved than the kids do.
The episode where they had a fire alert and had to stop transmitting.
Catchphrases
Bogies!
Bungalow points win prizes!
GOGOGO! (in Creamy Muck Muck)
Trivia
Some of the shows feature cult celebrities in the background, including on one occasion Knightmare's Hugo Myatt.
