Pete Versus Life - Series 1 Page 9

Actually, what happened to his nemesis who popped up a couple of times, why not keep him as a regular bastard character?

Too predictable and same-old.

I like the fact that it's different people each week.

Is the DVD already out?

As has been said, not quite as good as previous episodes, but it was a decent enough show overall. It would be lovely if some of the other characters were more developed next time around.

Hopefully there will be a second run.

Second series commissioned, no confirmation on number of episodes.

Maybe the 6th episode will be a complilation?

I'm not sure about this, didn't like the sterotyping of the Zimbabweans, and it all just seems to be a bit obvious.

I'll watch it if there's nothing else on.

I agree. Some funny bits but nothing lollingly good.

Telling you, me and you should write a sitcom! Pirate

Hi Alfa. Er... where did you hear this from?

The front news page kindly informs us that this has been commissioned for series 2. I say, good! I like this. Very much in The Inbetweeners' sort of style.

I'm enjoying this. The main actor keeps on reminding me of a David Walliams impersonator but a lot of original stuff going on and nothing too contrived although its got close!

OK, so the last two episodes have literally been. Pete gets lucky, tells a lie (about race), his parents bust him.

A bit samey.

I quite enjoyed this, I thought the rape alarm bit was extremely funny in maybe ep 2, but why 5 episodes? seems a strange amount to me!

Sorry for the thread bump.

I had only previously seen episode 2 "Fankoo" when the series originally aired last year, so decided to watch the other 4 episodes on 4OD tonight (Only because I was prompted to when they advertised it before I watched Friday Night Dinner!).

I found it to be pretty damn enjoyable. I'm surprised I didn't watch the rest of the run originally (the "You want me to put my finger up your arse?" "Not if you're in that mood!" exchange of episode 2 had me in fits).

Not many laugh out loud moments, but I found it fun, and the gimmick of the commentators didn't get old at all.

Glad a second series is happening!

May have to rewatch this on 4OD as I rather enjoyed it first time round.

Does anyone know when this show is returning?

Series 2 has been on for two weeks and nobody knew!

Okay people did, but I was oblivious.
