Synopsis
Pete Griffiths (Rafe Spall) is a struggling young sports journalist. Although well meaning, Pete lacks the emotional maturity to deal with grown-up relationships. He wishes life had clearly defined rules, like sport. In episode one, it's double trouble for Pete when he is accused of kidnapping an old lady's dog, while pretending to be a heroin addict to try an impress a Polish cleaner. As he crashes from one awkward situation to the next, Pete's life is commentated on by two sports pundits - anchor man Colin King (Simon Greenall), and former international footballer Terry McIlroy (Ian Kirkby). Like a modern Greek chorus, Colin and Terry discuss and analyse the key moments in Pete's life with accompanying statistics, on-screen graphics and slow motion replays. Also starring David Fynn (Manfred), Pippa Duffy (Anna), Susannah Fielding (Chloe), Dan Ings (Jake), Joseph Kloska (Rob), Philip Jackson and Sorcha Cusack (Pete's parents). Writers Bert Tyler-Moore & George Jeffries.
