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.

Shirlie's Unique Funeral Wishes & Life Reflections
Welcome to the second episode of the cruise specials, and guess what? We still haven’t been thrown overboard yet! Plus, the wonderful Shirlie is still here with us, and we’re about to find out her unique funeral wishes.
Roman dives into Shirlie's preferences and, let’s just say, her ideas are a little more classy than Martin’s. Speaking of Martin, we also explore how he would do in Strictly … SPOILER ALERT: it’s not looking great!
As the episode unfolds, Martin, Roman, and Shirlie share memories from their unforgettable Norwegian Cruise Line Caribbean adventure. From the crystal-clear waters of St. Thomas to an exhilarating (and challenging) waterfall excursion, the family reflects on their fun-filled trip.
But the real highlight? Shirlie opening up about her personal funeral wishes, which include a celebration of life with models as pall-bearers, a ceremony filled with flowers and reflective music.
