FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp

Join Martin and Roman Kemp every week as Roman sets out on a mission (before Martin's time runs out!) to capture the father-son relationship, deep conversations and the banter they share on a daily basis. The questions Roman seeks answers to are: Will Martin's name grace the news headlines when he dies? Will he be featured in a prestigious BAFTA ceremony or immortalised in an NTA montage? And perhaps most crucially, what song does Martin want to go out on at his funeral? Each episode will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions with moments of reflection, life lessons and laugh-out-loud moments that will keep you coming back every week. Email us at ffs@insanity.com!
