Series 1, Episode 1 - 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.
Further details
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.

Press
Jack Whitehall's Sporting Nation preview
He does a decent job, an amusing and buoyantly positive host without pushing the comedy too hard, always good company if rarely laugh-out-loud funny. (though a wry comment about 'those who can't, host' is winningly self-deprecatory). It's a stepping stone to him being a bone fide presenter, rather than a jester on the sidelines.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th July 2020Jack Whitehall's Sporting Nation, review
A decent filler in the absence of real sport.
