Jack and Jeremy's Real Lives was a 1996 comedy show for Channel 4, written by and starring Jack Dee and Jeremy Hardy

The series was a collection of mockumentaries similar to their previous collaboration, Jack and Jeremy's Police 4. Each episode would focus on the pair playing bizarre characters from a particular profession.

Shot on film and featuring no laugh track, the show failed to catch on. After three episodes it was moved to air after midnight.

The pilot featured Sacha Baron Cohen being electrocuted.
