Even now the cry of "Bogies" can be heard echoing in the highest circles and we hope the rambunctious duo continue to entertain and delight for years to come.

A selection of favourite Dick and Dom programmes will be screened across the day - including The Legend of Dick and Dom, Diddy TV and Da Dick and Dom Dairies. CBBC's website and social media accounts will also be celebrating.

The pair joined CBBC in 1996, originally presenting individually. But when bosses put them together to host live CBBC Presentation links in early 1997, they quickly developed a winning on-screen chemistry.

A number of solo and joint projects followed, until they reinvented themselves as Dick and Dom in 2001 - and the rest is history!

Their breakout hit came in 2002 when they hosted Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow - the double BAFTA award winning Saturday morning entertainment show, which got children shouting "Bogies" across the country.

Other landmark programmes over the years include The Legend of Dick and Dom, Splatalot, Dick and Dom Go Wild and Diddy Movies.

Twenty years on, Dick and Dom are still as busy as ever, fronting programmes including Diddy TV and Absolute Genius Monster Builds, which begins a new run on Wednesday 19 October.

Cheryl Taylor, Controller of CBBC says “Dick and Dom have furnished CBBC with a seemingly never-ending supply of cheeky japes and their own particular brand of irreverent humour - to the delight of generations of children. Even now the cry of "Bogies" can be heard echoing in the highest circles and we hope the rambunctious duo continue to entertain and delight for years to come."

Richard McCourt (Dick) says: "I grew up wanting to follow in Phillip Schofield's footsteps and become a Children's BBC presenter. I never dreamt I'd still be doing it 20 years on. It's the best job in the world and long may it continue!"

Dominic Wood (Dom) says: "Our time at CBBC so far has been unbelievable. We've won four BAFTA awards, presented hundreds of hours of live TV and worked with some amazing people. We're so excited to be celebrating 20 years in the business with this special day of content."
