peterrichboy If your a fan of the Office or any mockumentry comedy then People just do nothing will be for you. The premise of the show is simple a bunch of no hoppers from Brentford trying to run an illegal urban grind radio station. They are of course completely useless with only themselves and those close to them thinking they are any good. There are obvious comparisons to the Office the playing up to the cameras, the odd embarrassed glance when they realise there being filmed. But like the Office at some point in our life we have meet people like these characters, and as hopeless as they are you can't help but care about them. 8/10
scott-harding 4 series of this bilge is testament to the current Comdey vacuum at the BBC... Characters depicting work-shy council estate scum fails on all comedic levels... How the BBC ever thought this Dregs of Society mockumentary would appeal to anybody other than the great-unwashed is beyond belief.
acmredmond I am just a bit distraught that this will only be the 4th review on IMDb for this show. 8.6 is great but even after 3 series it still doesn't have the coverage it deserves. If they don't get more recognition they might not make any more. Plus how will Chabuddy ever get his own show? Or how about Chabuddy G winning an apprentice special. Think, misfits, spaced, Nathan barley crossed with spinal tap type genius. Mockumentry style with a clever low grade uk/Australian sense of place and time. It's not like it's 1998 is it mate. I've been kurupted!
matteksands It's been a very long time since the golden age of British sitcoms, back in the 90s. Since then, we've seen very little in the way of outstanding, memorable stuff. The last truly great one, in my opinion, was Peep Show which finished last year and you'd have to go back to The Office before that (though I'd like to give a shout out to Plebs, which although not in the same league is still very good). Well now, we've finally got another one.It's very much inspired by The Office and much of the acting (particularly from the two main characters, Beats and Grindah) clearly has Ricky Gervais's imprint all over it. I don't see this as a bad thing though and if you liked The Office you'll love this. As will anyone with a passing knowledge of inner city life in the UK, the DJ / underground music scene or even if you just like laughing at the "chavvy" end of society. Most of us will recognise at least one of these 4 main protagonists or the characters they associate with, in real life and it all rings very true, particularly the dialogue which is expertly done.What this is doing languishing on BBC 3 is anyone's guess but it certainly deserves a larger audience. I cannot recommend this highly enough, I haven't laughed so much in years!
