A Christmas Carol
Season 1, Episode 1
On the last day of term before Christmas, drama teacher Stephen stages his own funeral to hear what the school really think of him as he prepares to leave for a new job in a pantomime - but is shocked to encounter the ghost of Alfie Wickers. Hoping it will make Stephen care about teaching more than he ever did, Alfie tells Stephen he will be visited by three ghosts to show him the error of his ways but his happiness depends on the lessons he learns that night and the decision he has to make about his career at Abbey Grove.

Born:
July 07, 1988
in
Westminster, London
Best Known For:
His acting and stand-up routines.
Early-life:
Born Jack Peter Benedict Whitehall in Westminster, London, on July 7, 1988, to former actress Hilary Gish and former actors' agent Michael, who counted Judi Dench, Colin Firth and Richard Griffiths among his clients. Michael also wrote the memoir Shark-Infested Waters and formed two production companies, one of them with Nigel Havers, who is Jack's godfather. Jack attended the Harrodian School in London alongside Twilight saga star Robert Pattinson. He also went to The Dragon School in Oxford and then Marlborough College, an independent school in Wiltshire.
Career:
During his gap year, Whitehall decided to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. He juggled studying the history of art at Manchester University with gigs. In June 2008, he presented the first week of Big Brother's Big Mouth on E4. He followed this up with appearances on Channel 4's 8 Out of 10 Cats and from then on, became a TV fixture. Whitehall dabbled with acting as a child (he appeared, age nine, in the series Noah's Ark and claims to have auditioned for Harry Potter), and returned to it as an adult with the sitcoms Fresh Meat and Bad Education. He's a regular competitor on Sky1's sports quiz A League of Their Own, appears on various panel game shows, and continues to do stand-up. He also co-hosts a chat show with his dad on BBC Three.
Quote:
"I think I may have done too many panel shows. After a while people get bored of you. I might be a bit more selective in future."
Trivia:
In 2012 and 2013, he was declared the King of Comedy at the British Comedy Awards.
