Richard McCourt, otherwise known as Dick from the unfeasibly talented TV twosome Dick and Dom, met Dominic Wood (Dom), at the BBC back in 1996 when Dick was working as a runner (maker of tea) and Dom was appearing on CBBC shows as a magician. They found fame on the double BAFTA award-winning Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, and since then their career on CBBC has gone from strength to strength, with a diverse portfolio of programming. In addition to their work on CBBC they have been the faces and voices of many other shows across TV and radio. Dick and Dom have also enchanted audiences at various festivals, including Camp Bestival and Lollibop.

Their books together include Dick and Dom's Big Fat and Very Silly Joke Book, Dick and Dom's Slightly Naughty but Very Silly Words and Dick and Dom's Whoopee Book of Practical Jokes.
