Who Do You Think You Are?

In a first for the series, two related celebrities join forces to investigate their family tree as comedian and actor Jack Whitehall and his father and occasional double-act partner and talk show co-host Michael team up to look into their past. They learn about a tragedy that left Michael's grandfather an orphan, and also follow their lineage back to Wales in the 1830s, where they find out about their Tory ancestor and his role fighting against the Chartist political and social reform movement.
