WDYTYA - Jack & Michael Whitehall 5/8/19

[smudwhisk]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed it including the interaction/comments from the Whitehalls.  But then I have a very dry (at times sarcastic) sense of humour.  I knew who Jack Whitehall was but have only seen him guest on some other shows, never seen the double act with his father.  As Mike says they were genuinely interested in the stories and lets face it some of the researchers were in stitches at the comments they made, you could see it from the looks on their faces.

I haven't seen this programme, but will look forward to watching it in due course.  I know of  Jack Whitehall and his father from the series 'Travels with my Father' (available on Netflix), which I thought was hilarious.  I too enjoy their dry senses of humour, and the way they bait each other all the time, so I'm looking forward to seeing this particular episode - if it ever becomes available on catch-up.  I'm one of those people who no longer watch live TV, and my temper is much improved because of it.

I agree 'Travels with my Father' was a hoot! So funny.... (2nd travel programme they did was not quite so funny) However, I think the pair carried over their 'schtick' into their WDTYYA programme.  It didn't bother me and I enjoyed the programme, but they didn't come across as natural in their reactions to what was being presented to them.  Someone made the comment that Michael had done another programme and therefore knew the about the Welsh Chartist connection before so in that respect it was odd he was presented with this aspect of his family history again.

At the beginning of the programme, Jack said that he was hoping they could prove that there was no genetic link between him and his father.

I thought they were cringing    I certainly was!

That is just typical, and why I love their humour.  Having seen this thread, I am now re-watching 'Travels with my Father'.  So funny!

They are totally hilarious.

Such dry humour, and I think they must enjoy a great relationship.   

I should hasten to add, the story about the Chartists is, of course, horrendous.
