Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father

Comedian Jack and set-in-his-ways dad Michael tour the States for the new season, which dropped on the streaming service yesterday.

On their travels, they experience a naked yoga session, a Wild West-style settlement, amateur wrestling and bingo calling. And in Vegas, they are greeted by Michael's wife Hilary, to the chagrin of Jack who was hoping for a 'lads and dads' weekend. He gets his revenge by takings his parents to see the Magic Mike.
