Jack's Throwback Attack Podcast - S4 E7 - A Chat With Dave Chapman

It's the final podcast of the fourth series and to finish it off I have a chat with the awesome Dave Chapman. 


You can also listen to the chat on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts

Dave Chapman is an actor, puppeteer and voice artist who has an incredibly long CV. The main highlights we go over in this chat is Dave's beginnings in puppetry with the Jim Henson Company in the 1990's and then perhaps Dave's best known puppetry work which is Otis the Aardvark on CBBC which he did for five years. 

After that we discuss Dave's work on Dick and Dom In Da Bungalow where Dave did a whole range of roles from puppeteering 'The Neighbours Cat' and pretending to be various gameshow hosts. Dave continued his working relationship with the Da Bungalow team appearing on The Slammer and The Legend of Dick and Dom. 

We also discuss his work on the surreal Tiny and Mr. Duk's Huge Show and The Baked Potato Song on Shooting Stars. 

More recently Dave has worked on Star Wars and The Dark Crystal Age Of Resistance and currently works on CBBC's Saturday Mash Up as Stanley. 

A big thanks to everyone that has enjoyed yet another series of this podcast!
