New Stuff On Dave's Site!


Hello everyone...

I 've just been playing on Dave's homepage on his website today, when I got a huuuge surprise.
I clicked the yellow circle top-left of the screen and...HEY PRESTO, I found myself looking at a whole new section of Dave stuff!

There's news bulletin thing called DNN, it's news about Dave - not to be confused with CNN, which is news not about Dave. There's a section called Have You Met Dave? where there is a lovely photo of Dave and Alex having a cuddle. and a section called FREE STUFF which is exactly that! Free stuff from the man himself, including a checklist on the art being a children's tv presenter!! There loads of other stuff too!!!


You have got to try this. Click the yellow circle and see for yourself.

DAVE'S NEW TOURING SHOW

This is a poster of Dave's new touring show called Dave's GET UP AND GO Show!
It's based on the DVD, and it's a great show for young children. The grown-ups liked it too.
The only other time I've had this much fun at a live show was I saw TAKE THAT do their last night of their '06 UK tour at Milton Keynes!

Dave's website has dates of his show. Take a look.

CHESTER MONSTER

Dave's woolly friend CHESTER MONSTER from CBBC's PLAYDAYS: THE PLAYGROUND STOP

Remember him?

They show him every now and again on the telly and that woolly creature cracks me up!

Dave's office recently issued a statement concerning Chester's wherabouts:

'Chester is spending his time working on some projects with Dave, and is currently looking for the right vehicle to launch his talents to a new generation of children and parents. So far Chester's business involvements have included, Dave's voice being used for the 'SMARTIES MELTDOWN' game for the Sony PS2 and KOCH MEDIA, inclusion for Dave in the CHILDREN'S WALK OF FAME, and a forthcoming 4 album music deal for the EARLY LEARNING CENTRE.'

DBP Factoid: The CHESTER BENSON PRODUCTIONS company logo is a drawing of Chester appearing from Dave's famous red Dr.Marten boots.

A picture of Dave Benson Phillips and his wife, Emma.

A definite 10 on my cheese-o-meter

Dave's wife



This is Emma, Dave's wife ( lucky c*w!) . Dave was on the stage when I took this photo. She was very nice but she didn't take her glasses off for my photo...celebrity wives eh!

Sorry I had to censor the bit in brackets. Dave has a lot of young fans and they might find and read my blog.




WOW!!!

How versatile is this man!!!

www.davebensonphillips.co.uk

BIG BEAR, Dave's New Friend



This is Dave Benson Phillips with his latest friend BIG BEAR.

Dave and 'Biggie' (as the fans like to call him) have been performing in lots of live shows around the country. I recently saw them at Butlins in Skegness, and the big brown bear was a hit with the kids - watch out Dave, there could soon be homage blogs for BIG BEAR soon!

They've even done a video together called GET UP AND GO! filmed at the Polka Theatre, Wimbledon - the place where Dave Benson Phillips first learned the art of entertaining children...bet you didn't know that!

I once overheard Dave telling a child who asked what happened with the bear after the show.

Dave replied, "he drives the tour bus!" The child was impressed "WOW!" said the child, "I can't get my Action Man to do anything!!"

What a man, what a bear!

Interesting photo of Dave



I've just found this photo of Dave posted on another site. I think he's trying to look sexy!

You should see some of his other photographs...

Dotty About Dave



This Blog is dedicated to Dave Benson Phillips, a legendary childrens tv presenter and entertainer, and star of such shows as, PLAYDAYS, FUN SONG FACTORY, PLAYHOUSE DISNEYand of course, the totally awesome GET YOUR OWN BACK shown on CBBC. I remember rushing home from school to see Dave in action. I especially loved it when Dave used to ask the audience
"What do we do?"
To which the audience would reply "CRANK 'EM UP!" before plunging some poor grown-up into a vat of goo...aaah! happy days.
And his programmes are still being shown today, which, in this era of 'reality tv' and 'disposable celebrities', is something to be honoured.
Not so long ago, Dave even donned a furry suit to play a monster called BOUMA for the CBBC cookery show, PLANET COOK, with that scouse moustashio'd tv chef KEVIN WOODFORD.
Whenever I catch his shows on telly, he still makes me smile, even though I'm old enough to have children of my own. His singing, his dancing, the faces he pulls still crack me up. speaking of crack up, go visit Dave's website www.davebensonphillips.co.uk you'll see exactly what I mean.
Some friends of mine had never heard of Dave (!!!!!!) until they saw him in a panto with camp 'comedian'
JULIAN CLARY.
It was then when they realised why I was obsessed by Dave, they were totally impressed by him and his performance.
This man is mad, talented, and by the looks of things, he truly loves his work with the children, and the children (and parents for that matter) love him.
Yep! It's fair to say that I'm Dotty About Dave
Are you?
