Dave Dowling was the father of Martin Dowling, who also got on well with Martin's friend, Kyle Stack. Dave appears in Series 6 Episode 14, angry that he got turned over for the job of school caretaker.

Sticking up for his dad, Martin and Kyle bully and torment the new school caretaker Lukas Wisniewski, trashing his office and spray painting the walls.

Dave later admits that he didn't get the job due to not bothering to turn up to the interview. Dave turns to racist remarks accusing the likes of Lukas of taking jobs from the English. Martin angrily confronts his dad calling him a waster and a layabout. He argues that his dad wants him to grow up to be a layabout like him.

This is the last time either of them are seen.
