I have one script which runs in Bash and and other which runs in tcsh.
I need to run them both from the same script. How can I create a script that can run both bash and tcsh commands?

Most shells have an argument which allow you to pass them a string to run as a command, for example, for bash you can run
bash -c "echo this is a bash script; echo lalalala"
to run that string as a script in bash, use this to run the needed shell embedded in the other. This will allow you to make a script in one shell which will invoke the other shell when the other program needs to be run.
If on the other hand they are both properly shebanged begin with #!tcsh or #!bash you can simply run both scripts from the same bash script using:
/path/to/script1 & /path/to/script2 &
