Pete Versus Life is a British sitcom written by George Jeffrie and Bert Tyler-Moore, and starring Rafe Spall. It was first broadcast on Channel 4 in 2010, with a second series the following year.It follows the misadventures of Pete Griffiths (Spall), a twenty-something wannabe sports journalist who struggles in both his personal and professional life. He often finds himself in socially awkward situations and, as he is somewhat immature and prone to saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, things seldom go well for him. The twist is that whatever he does, his life is commentated on by two sports commentators, Colin King (Simon Greenall) and Terry McIlroy (Ian Kirkby), who act as if Pete's life is a live sports broadcast - complete with on-screen graphics and slow-motion replays. They often cringe (or laugh) at what Pete does, have all sorts of statistics on him and his acquaintances, and are generally unprofessional in their approach.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Blatant Lies. Oh, Pete. Lying about doing a poo in his girlfriend’s parents’ toilet when he left the seat up is the least of his problems. He has to make up quite a few of these to explain why he always tries to avoid talking to Anna, because he doesn't want to straight-out tell her that he just doesn't like her. He's also falsely claimed to have been a former soldier and even a drug addict in order to impress women.

Brother–Sister Incest: Heavily implied with Anna and her brother, who are seen snogging.

A-Cup Angst: Anna suffers from this. Pete is only too happy to mock her about it when he thinks she's not listening. Which does not go well.
