Daniel Furn
A late entry into the mockumentary craze, People Just Do Nothing adds a pirate radio twist to the long-running format – and lots of youthful enthusiasm.
The series follows a group of failed MCs who run a pirate radio station from West London broadcasting UK garage, drum and bass music. The many memorable characters that make up the Kurupt FM crew include self-proclaimed garage legend MC Grindah (Allan Mustafa) as the leader of the group, with DJ Beats (Hugo Chegwin) as second-in-command and Chabuddy G (Asim Chaudhry) as their wheeler-dealer manager.
Initially starting as online shorts created by the college friends, the footage was seen by the producers of The Office, leading to the creation of a pilot for BBC’s Comedy feeds and eventually a full BBC Three series. The show went on for an impressive five series, with the final instalment airing on BBC Two due to the show’s popularity, and film follow-up People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan released in 2021.
People Just Do Nothing is mostly written by the cast members, whose camaraderie bursts off the screen given that they are all long-term friends in real life – which might help explain the BAFTA and Royal Television Society Awards.
