Pete Versus Life

Pete Versus Life is a brand new five-part narrative comedy for Channel 4 starring Rafe Spall.

Pete Griffiths is a struggling young sports journalist. Well meaning, Pete often lacks the emotional maturity required to deal with life's more intricate problems.

In this 5x30 minute series, transmitting from Friday 6th August, Pete wishes that life had clearly defined rules, like sport. But life isn't like sport, as Pete is only beginning to realise.

Pete's life is commented on, as if it was an exciting sporting event, by two professional sport commentators - anchor man Colin King (Simon Greenall), and former international footballer Terry McIIroy (Ian Kirkby).

Like a modern Greek chorus, Colin and Terry discuss and analyse Pete's domestic cock ups with accompanying statistics, on screen graphics and slow motion replays.

Also starring Chris Geere (Kurt), Reece Ritchie (Ollie) Pippa Duffy (Anna), Susannah Fielding (Chloe), Dan Ings (Jake), Joseph Kloska (Rob), Philip Jackson and Sorcha Cusack (Pete's parents).

Written by Bert Tyler-Moore and George Jeffrie (co-writers of Channel 4's hit comedy Star Stories) and made by the producers of the award winning Peep Show.
