Mr. Whitehall, who has previously represented the likes of Judi Dench and Colin Firth, even found himself struggling to find a wine list at KFC and made the rather unusual request of a medium-rare burger at McDonald's.

The duo have previously appeared together on TV for 'Million Pound Drop' as well as the 'Edinburgh Fringe', and have made the ultimate bonding gesture by co-writing an autobiography together entitled 'Him And Me'. Some influence may have come from the Matt Lucas' comedy show 'The Matt Lucas Awards' which co-starred his own mother, but it's fair to say we haven't seen anything quite like 'Backchat' before.
