Pete versus Life is a Channel 4 sitcom created by George Jeffrie and Bert Tyler-Moore.

[1] The programme follows the misadventures of Pete Griffiths, a budding sports journalist in London struggling with both his personal and professional life, dealing with issues such as relationships and trying to find work as a major reporter.

Whilst he goes about his everyday doings, he is commentated on by two announcers as if his life were a sports broadcast.

The two commentators often cringe at the humiliating positions Pete ends up in, and are unprofessional in their approach.

One of the commentators, Terry McIllroy, is an ex-professional footballer and is loosely based on real life co-commentator and former Sky Sports pundit, Andy Gray.
