Hello, I am on a mission to find episodes from Dick and Dom in da bungalow which was a Saturday morning show that aired from 2002 to 2006. There were 263 episodes produced, most of series 5 have been uploaded online and a episode from series 4 thanks to a youtube user called DDindabungalow. There's still 237 episodes that have yet to be uploaded online. if you have any of the episodes that have yet to be online which is mostly series 1-4, please reply to this thread.
The only DVD they released was a best of series 3 called the dirty norris files, other than that no dvd's have been released
I assume this isn't lost, right? I have a VHS of it in a box somewhere. I've never even watched it, so it's basically unplayed, I just have it for reasons.
mabye get in contact with someone who works at the bbc to find a master copy
also old sky+ recordings may have them
I'm not sure it is lost, more that every episode isn't available online. I think that with all of these post-2000s (and probably 1990s as well) BBC series, it's near certain that it's in their own archives now that they actually employ people to manage that (and given the wiping of the past).
The release I said I had in VHS form is widely available on eBay as a DVD, so I can't really help with that. Unless the VHS is rare and has different stuff on it.

BBC weird though they never really release shows on dvd most of them are shown once and then never shown again with little expetions (ie documentrys kids shows) but lots of people probbaly have them on tape or burned them onto a dvd or recorded on the sky/virgin box or whatever

I actually think that something like Dick and Dom could easily end up on something like Netflix UK one day for the nostalgia factor. They were quite a big deal on CBBC for a few years.

yeah the VHS is the same as the DVD. It's just highlights from series 3 not full episodes.
anyway 2 more episodes have been uploaded onto youtube the series 4 finale and S05E44 which leaves 260 episodes unfound now

I have to agree with this. Dick and Dom are still well known in the UK (I think?). In fact, a quick google search tells me a new spin off series of diddy dick and dom (a short puppet act first seen on da bungalow) started earlier this year (Diddy TV). Da Bungalow was about 2-3 hours per episode though, so I doubt they would put all the episodes on Netflix.
BTW, there might be a revival/one off special if this happens, then it's more likely that the series will be released in some form, due to increased interest and more people remembering the show.
