Review: Travels With My Father, Netflix

Jack Whitehall's latest comic travelogue with his curmudgeonly dad Michael in tow is set in Australia, but apart from the location everything else here is pretty much the same. Childish humour, grumpy parent, beautiful scenery.

Review: Jack Whitehall - Travels With My Father

There are plenty of laughs and nobody is getting hurt so what's the problem? If you don't like the sound of it don't watch it. I'm not trying to bend over backwards to say nice things about this instalment, it's genuinely enjoyable.

Review: Travels With My Father, series 2, episode 1

After a first series in which Jack Whitehall and his perma-grumpy dad tried to live out Jack's gap year fantasies in the Far East the second series find the Whitehalls closer to home and adventuring around Europe. Not that this is going to keep the budget down because Michael will, of course, insist on travelling in expensive style wherever he goes.

The Whitehalls' holiday snapping wears thin

The travels feel very scripted and unspontaneous as father and son niggle each other.

Review: Backing Into The Spotlight by Michael Whitehall

Who would have thought Nigel Havers' agent would have published not one, but two volumes of memoirs? That's twice as many as the actor himself.

Jack Whitehall's Travels sees the posh banter fly

The travel show gives a hilarious insight into the relationship between the comedian and his openly critical father Michael, and I'm already looking forward to the rest.
