Jack Whitehall takes a glorious romp through Britain’s best sporting moments on home soil.

Jack Whitehall celebrates Britain’s finest sporting moments on home soil and how hosting major tournaments brings the best out of us as a nation - from 1966 to Super Saturday.

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 'It’s Coming Home', Jack celebrates Britain’s finest sporting moments and achievements to have taken place on home soil, asking why it is that when the United Kingdom hosts a major sports event, the whole world stops to watch - and why holding a international tournament in our own backyard brings the very best out of us as a nation. From the odd events of the 1908 London Olympics to the English triumph of World Cup 66 and Britain’s unforgettable Super Saturday at London 2012, this is a comedic love-letter to British sport in a nation that simply can’t get enough of it.
