The
move is part of Prior's strategy for the CBBC schedule this autumn.

of The CBBC Channel's most popular shows.

will be simulcast on BBC ONE and The CBBC Channel on Saturday mornings
this autumn, while the successful Saturday Show, with Fearne
Cotton and Simon Grant, takes a break until spring.
On
BBC ONE Dick and Dom will be followed by Top of the Pops Saturday,
which continues with Fearne Cotton presenting.

Prior, CBBC Controller, said: "I believe it's important to
try new things in the schedule and I'm pleased to announce that
Dick & Dom in da Bungalow is coming to BBC ONE this autumn,
giving all young viewers a chance to enjoy the unique talent of

"I've
been really delighted with the success of The Saturday Show which
will be on air until early autumn, returning in the spring.
