It took a long time for the UK to rip-off Herman's Head.
Pete Versus Life - Series 1 Page 2
As the review on our guide says, it takes a while to adapt to the sports commentators but, if/once you do, there's some funny (if slightly predictable) stuff in this sitcom.

Let it go, zooo!

I think in that show the people in Herman's head controlled the main character. These just comment on his actions.
This just looks to be a UK version of the US sitcom Inside Shwartz. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281450/
I hope that the execution is better on our fair shores.
First episode over- enjoyed it. I wasn't sure about the sport presenters going into it, but I think that's where some of the best lines came from. A good way of presenting your run of the mill sitcom situations.
I found the commentary very gimmicky and light on laughs. I thought the actual show had a fair amount of laughs, but they sometimes seemed to be trying too hard to be cringe humour e.g. the rape alarm section.
I laughed a few times, but I thought the commentators were ultimately distracting and stopped me engaging with the characters. I'll definitely watch again, but couldn't help but feel it might have worked better as a recurring sketch somewhere.
I kept thinking that blonde woman was Anneka Rice.
I liked Eco Girl. Very nice.
I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought would. Plus Rafe Spall is always good.
I quite enjoyed it; the gimmick was a little overplayed first half, but second half it lessened so you could concentrate more on the characters and situation. A decent start.
Yes, the second half was better. Less busy.
Ditto previous; the sitcom aspects were pretty good - although a little cringe-y at times - but the commentators I wasn't so much a fan of. Really, really hope that Amy (the Anneka Rice-a-like) gets her comeuppance in a later episode.
Anyone seen Dream On? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97xrot0FW8A
Basically it's the same idea but done A LOT better.
