Glorious Failure

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

Jack Whitehall takes a light-hearted and nostalgia-filled look back at Britain’s sports history, telling the nation’s 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’s quest to reach a Rugby World Cup final, Archie Gemmill scoring Scotland’s greatest ever goal and Derek Redmond’s 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.
