What happens

Backchat with Jack Whitehall and His Dad, or simply Backchat, is a chat show that was originally broadcast on BBC Three but moved to BBC Two for its second series. The show is presented by comedian Jack Whitehall and his father Michael Whitehall, a theatrical agent who used to manage celebrities such as Colin Firth and Judi Dench. The chat show consisted of various games and quizzes presented towards celebrities who were guests on the episode, and began airing from 20 November 2013. In June 2014, Backchat returned for two summer specials in aid of the World Cup and Father's Day. Following successful repeats of the first series on BBC Two, it was announced on 21 August 2014 that Backchat would return for a second series on BBC Two. The second series began on 5 January 2015 on BBC Two. Following on from the second series, Backchat returned on BBC Two on 26 December 2015 for an End of Year Special. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
