The genial host reopens his globe drinks cabinet as he returns for a 13th series. Years of chat and a bunch of other successful shows, radio gigs and stand-up tours now separate him from The Friday Night Project with Justin Lee Collins. What a long time ago that seems. He now stands alongside Graham Norton as the kingpin of British chat and rightly so. Among those confirmed for tonight are Jack Whitehall, talking about Bad Education, and the formerly hairy Kasabian, now smooth as a baby's bum.

Nick Fiaca, TV Choice, 9th September 2014It's the eighth series of this bantzier, nearer-the-knuckle alternative to A Question Of Sport, hosted by James Corden.

The Public Reviews, 3rd July 2014Review: Backchat with Jack Whitehall and his Dad
I do like Backchat. Yes, 45 minutes is too long, even for a Father's Day special. It would have been better tightened up and squeezed into a sharper half-hour.
