The comedian and actor is best known for his stand-up shows, his hilarious travelogues with his father, Michael, and for playing a variety of bumbling comedy characters, from posh student JP in C4's Fresh Meat to quirky teacher Alfie Wickers in BBC's Bad Education.

I'd been trying to find parts that were different and were going to challenge me as an actor,' says Whitehall, 37.

'Malice plays on this fear of how little we know about the people that we get to look after our children.
