Dick and Dom's Cat - singing the 'Stoke on Trent #song'

Dick and Dom's Cat - singing the Stoke on Trent song

Cat's Britain:

Until Series 5 of 'Da Bungalow', each week a short five minute feature would be shown of the travels of 'next door's cat', who would visit the Bungalow to recount the tales of his adventures. The Cat has never been named. It was puppeteered and voiced by Dave Chapman, with a gruff West Yorkshire accent.

The film was normally a short segment about a town, full of irreverent comments about the people and the monuments that the Cat came across. Such towns included Uckfield, Ely, Goring, Sandwich, Wetwang, Letchworth, Pangbourne and Stoke-on-Trent, a song about which was one of the highlights of the third series.

Cat's Britain was also referred to as 'The Pussycat's Travels' in the fourth series of the show. This feature was repeated on Sundays in the fifth series, with the Cat claiming he visited the same places again, met the same people and made exactly the same films.

Their reactions make more sense when you know that up until this point, Cat had never sang about places he visited before this and nobody told dick and dom that he was going to

[marlastrongbow]

It’s the way they cut away from Dom at the beginning when he’s barely holding it together, then after the photo slide disappears he’s wetting himself 👌🏻👌🏻

[dogbeard]

At staffs uni this is the official anthem

I'm a Canadian immigrant to the UK and finally got to drive past Stoke-on-Trent over Christmas and delightedly began singing this song.

[lukeberrie]

He had me when he rhymed Trent with Trent

[sonokoobuchi]

Just passing Stoke On Trent train station. Every time I pass here, I listened to this legendary song!

[CarolynKnits]

Fun fact:
Dave Chapman, the voice for the neighbour's cat, also voices BB-8.

[zurenity]

The welcoming phrase of 'eh up duck!' lol

[GyourgeTube]

Hey everyone it’s 2020 and this is still extremely funny

[Lighting_Desk]

Still one of my favourite moments of the show.

[Brooke-wpzv]

i will continue to watch this every week for as long as i live

[charlotteclarke]

Literally just passed through Stoke on Trent playing this song and just crying with laughter.

[VivaLaAlice]

This song is my Roman Empire, it lives in my head rent free. So you must understand the excitement I felt when we just went through Stoke on Trent on a train and my boyfriend asked ‘what is Stoke on Trent’

[markmartin]

This song lives rent free inside my head

[scsutton]

This needs to be submitted for a Grammy nomination.

[Staarchild]

as a stokie i can confirm this is our national anthem (or city anthem, whatever)

[rhubarb]

Every time Stoke on Trent is mentioned, to this day, this song plays in my head and nobody ever knows what I’m ok about 😭

[adodecahedron]

Lyrics:
Well, I've been all over this week er-
But, you know, my favourite place I've been to
Stoke-on-Trent (Oh Yeah)
To Stoke-on-Trent
Historic town on the River Trent
It's a vibrant mix of the great and the good
Like Reginald "Spitfire" Mitchell and Josiah Wedgwood
Come and lose yourself in the pottery shopping centre
Why not try a Staffordshire Oatcake?
It's a culinary adventure!
Come to Stoke-on-Trent
And see just what is meant
By the welcome phrase eh up duck!
You're in Stoke-on-Trent!

[thejudge-kvjk]

Going to do Stoke away next year. This is definitely going on the stereo as we arrive!

[SueycrazyAJ]

someone said the cat sounds like bob mortimer and i can't unhear it
