Craven Pete, professional disaster and romantic failure, runs over a woman’s cat, which gives him the perfect opportunity to try to get off with the grieving pet-owner.
This, like every single one of Pete’s potential assignations, could bomb horribly when it comes to laughs, but Rafe Spall is so endearing as pin-brained Pete (he’s a halfwit, but he’s not malicious) that it just works.
It’s a delight, too, to know that everything will always go badly wrong, despite Pete’s best efforts and Olympian lies.
