Jack and Jeremy's Real Lives(1996)

Jack and Jeremy's Real Lives is a 1996 comedy series for Channel 4, written by and starring Jack Dee and Jeremy Hardy. The show consists of mockumentaries in which the pair play eccentric characters from various professions, each episode exploring a different occupation with absurdist humour. Shot on film without a laugh track, the series struggled to find an audience and was moved to a late-night slot after just three episodes. The pilot episode features a memorable appearance by Sacha Baron Cohen in a comedic electrocution scene. The programme represents a follow-up to Dee and Hardy's earlier collaboration, Jack and Jeremy's Police 4, maintaining their distinctive approach to character-driven comedy.
