I agree with everything you say about Jack Whitehall maggie, although I thought Michael was disinterested in the whole exercise even before the sad revelations about his great grandparents. I couldn't decide whether the pair of them were playing their comedy personas or whether they really are like that with each other all the time. Surely not? Jack's silly banter and continual digs at his father's background (which is also his. Didn't we learn he went to Marlborough? That's considerably posher than Ampleforth I think!) got very tiresome and were out of place in WDYTYA. It all spoilt what should have been an interesting story for me.
