This is a travel documentary that is presented by Michael Whitehall and comedian Jack Whitehall, a father and son duo.
This show first debuted on Netflix in September 2017and quickly became a big hit, ending up being streamed far and wide. Currently, four series of the travel series are available to stream.
The first series of the show covered Michael and Jack travelling to South East Asia, as Jack branded “gap year with my father,” and this series involved the pair travelling through Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, following the mischiefs of Jack winding his father up. The witty responses Michael throws back at Jack topped my entertainment. This is also the series where Winston Whitehall is adopted by Michael, during Jack and Michael’s trip to Thailand. This was soon renewed for a second series by popular demand.
Series two of this travel series involved Michael (Father Whitehall) and Jack traveling through Eastern Europe, with Winston also visiting Germany, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Turkey. Still, Jack has other plans, such as the Grand Tours of the 18th century and timeless art, and ends up taking his dad on a detour, as he does in every episode. However, one of them involves both of them dressing up as clowns for an arts festival in Ukraine. This series was dropped on Netflix in September 2018.
Series three involves Jack and Michael traveling around the American West with Winston, where Jack shows his father around in the hope that he will move there with him. Michael tries to take over the trip but fails when Hilary, Jack’s mum and Michael’s wife, ends up joining them. They all attend a Magic Mike show, with Jack “forgetting” to let Michael know it isn’t an actual magic show, but completely getting embarrassed by his mother, who shows them both up by enjoying the show far too much! This series was dropped on Netflix in September 2019.
Series four recently dropped on Netflix in September 2020, where Michael and Jack travel around Australia, where filming of the show took place during Jack’s Australian leg of his tour, Stood Up. This series features only two episodes, and Jack’s mum joins them too, before she heads back to England with Winston to help with Molly Whitehall’s wedding, Jack’s sister. The episodes feature visiting the Sydney Opera House, Jack speed dating to gain a “plus one” for his sister Molly’s wedding in England, which Jack mentions happens shortly after his tour ends in Australia, and Jack and Michael attempting Drag.
