Jack Whitehall says he is turning into his dad

Jack Whitehall thinks he's turning into his father.

Jack Whitehall, recently crowned king of comedy again at The British Comedy Awards, and his theatrical-agent dad Michael return for another series of jovial joshing. Joining them in this opening episode are comic, talent-show judge and author David Walliams, and - fresh from a star turn in Victoria Wood's musical That Day We Sang - Michael Ball. Whitehall is passable as a chatshow host, but it's his father who is the star turn, kvetching away in his big leather armchair.

DVD review: Jack Whitehall Gets Around

If we awarded stars on effort alone then ...Gets Around would definitely get five. As it stands, a couple of aspects of the performance and some of the DVD extras let it down a little bit, but it's still very much worth the price tag.

One of the more likable of the arena comedians, John Bishop is all about being down to earth. Still, he isn't afraid of a big production number when the occasion demands it, and with this festive show, that's precisely what he delivers. Never mind the obligatory pop stars (George Ezra; Ella Henderson). Forget about the mainstream support acts (Jack Whitehall and Jason Byrne). Bishop doesn't just do a set, he also performs a routine with 16 members of the dance troupe the Tiller Girls.

Jack Whitehall: ITV must answer Dapper Laughs questions

Jack Whitehall criticises Michael Buerk for I'm a Celeb

Jack Whitehall has criticised Michael Buerk for taking part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.

Jack Whitehall hosts a night of comedy and variety to raise awareness of testicular cancer. It's a nice mix of old and new faces, with the first Men Behaving Badly reunion in 16 years and the return of Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse. Other appearances to look out for include ridiculously good ventriloquist Nina Conti, the weirdly wonderful sketch duo Cardinal Burns, Angelos Epithemiou's excellent study in idiocy and The Mimic's brilliant Terry Mynott. Not a bad lineup.
