Jack Whitehall

A gangly fellow slouches into the playground. "Every morning - off!" barks teacher Michelle Gomez, yanking at his hoodie. But this is a teacher too: Jack Whitehall, so funny in Fresh Meat, who's written this school-set comedy, which will hopefully be his own star vehicle. Good to see Gomez back and also Sarah Solemani from Him & Her, who plays another teacher.

After running, rowing and cycling his way from Paris to London in aid of Sport Relief, it's back to the day job for John Bishop tonight as he takes a guest turn on the opening episode of Sky's popular panel show. Alongside master of ceremonies James Corden, he's an ever-present source of the type of free-flowing sporting banter that's made the show one of the broadcaster's top performers.

The addition of Jack Whitehall, who replaces F1-bound Georgie Thompson as a regular panellist, is another shot in the arm for a series that's fast becoming essential viewing for sports fans and phobics alike.

Review: Hit the Road Jack

Jack Whitehall has a very likeable on-stage presence, and that charm is noticeable in Hit the Road Jack - not quite the right vehicle, but one that does showcase a lot of his talents.

Comedian Jack Whitehall, 23, has always been somewhat prodigious, first arriving on our screens aged just 20. He won further acclaim last year with his scene-stealing turn in student sitcom Fresh Meat. Now he gets this solo vehicle, which finds him travelling to UK cities to learn about their culture before performing at a local venue. First up is Newcastle, so he meets football hero Alan Shearer, welcomes musical duo Rizzle Kicks and, most amusingly, stays with a Geordie family and heads "out on the toon" with the son.
