seen it before, forgot about it and now it's back

really really, good - but not a first glance - the two commentators bit tricky at first, then 'click' it works.

brilliant.

That's actually a repeat from Series 1. There has been another series since but apparently it won't be coming back again.

Rafe Spall sitcom Pete Versus Life is unlikely to return to Channel 4, according to reports in Broadcast.
The series follows Spall’s sports journalist character Peter navigating life under the constant commentary of two sports commentators. The second series finished just before Christmas but both series struggled in the ratings.
C4 chief creative officer Jay Hunt told Broadcast that she was “very disappointed it hasn’t proved more potent with audiences. I think it is a really good comedy and we have struggled to get people to watch it.”

I liked it, although the Second Series became very formulaic.

It's all on 4OD

Cracking comedy. Had a great premise about it I thought. I hope it gets an audience at some point in the future through DVD and online. Was too good not to see.
