Glorious Failure

Jack Whitehall takes a light-hearted look at Britain鈥檚 most glorious sporting failures, such as Welsh World Cup rugby, Derek Remond鈥檚 hamstring and the truly unique Eddie the Eagle.

Jack Whitehall takes a light-hearted and nostalgia-filled look back at Britain鈥檚 sports history, telling the nation鈥檚 story through our most iconic moments and characters. In 'Glorious Failure', Jack turns his comedic sights on how when the British fail at sport, we do it in a truly spectacular and glorious fashion. Taking in Wales鈥檚 quest to reach a Rugby World Cup final, Archie Gemmill scoring Scotland鈥檚 greatest ever goal and Derek Redmond鈥檚 heart- and hamstring-breaking appearance in Olympic history, Jack celebrates our talent for coming up just short and our love of those who gave it a really good try.
