***Real Life*** was an Australian [current affairs](/source/Current_affairs_(news_format)) television program that aired on the [Seven Network](/source/Seven_Network) from 20 January 1992 to 1 December 1994.

Its format was similar to other [tabloid](/source/Tabloid_television) current affairs shows airing at the time, these being *[A Current Affair](/source/A_Current_Affair_(Australian_TV_series))* and *[Hinch](/source/Derryn_Hinch)*, which had recently been axed by the Seven Network and picked up by [Network Ten](/source/Network_Ten). It was mainly presented by [Stan Grant](/source/Stan_Grant_(journalist)) and the reporters included former Network Ten newsreader [Eric Walters](/source/Eric_Walters_(newsreader)) and [Edwina Gatenby](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edwina_Gatenby&action=edit&redlink=1).

While generally not being as successful as its Nine competitor, it was popular enough for Nine to install [Ray Martin](/source/Ray_Martin_(television_presenter)) as the host of *A Current Affair* in 1994 and it did win the [Logie Award](/source/TV_Week_Logie_Awards) for Most Popular Current Affairs Program [in that year](/source/Logie_Awards_of_1994).[1] In 1995, the show was replaced with *[Today Tonight](/source/Today_Tonight)*, a state-based current affairs program as opposed to *Real Life* which was a nationally airing show.
