People Just Do Nothing: we're the Beatles of Brentford
BBC Three's hit comedy follows the antics of a spoof pirate radio station - but now they're getting props from the real UK music scene. Next stop: Ibiza.

Ash Atalla, whose production credits include The Office, and producer Jon Petrie tell The Independent why they think YouTube series-turned BBC Three cult hit People Just Do Nothing is set to break into comedy's big league
Sally Newall, The Independent, 17th August 2016The first instalment of series three (produced by Ash Atalla of The Office fame) has certainly done its predecessors justice. The YouTube hit-turned-mockumentary follows the juvenile antics of the gang behind Kurupt FM, a fictional pirate radio station. Prepare to wince as the group record a track that hinges on the sound of a breaking bottle and cringe as Miche and Grindah's drunken mistake of an engagement begins to unravel.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 13th November 2015BBC commissions two series of People Just Do Nothing
BBC Three has ordered two new series of mockumentary series People Just Do Nothing.
British Comedy Guide, 9th October 2015The series finale of the Brentford-set mockumentary is here, and it's a day of reckoning for Beats and Grindah as Kurupt FM puts on its first ever garage night. Suitably, it's being held in an actual garage, otherwise known as Chabuddy's latest business venture: a horrifically shoddy club called Champagne Steam Rooms. Operating in a world of sweetly modest ambition and near-constant buffoonery, this stealthily charming series manages to capture the tone of life in the midst of barren suburbia uncannily well.
