People Just Do Nothing

I was involved with pirate radio in Manchester during early 90's so this series plays close to my heart. I'm now mid 40's and pretty much laughed , cried or both throughout the whole show. Never has a tv series hit the reminisce button so hard. You get drawn into the lives of everyone regardless of how much a part they play. You want to be as enthusiastic as Grindah & Beats. You want to give Miche a hug. You want to chill and have a zoot with Decoy & Fantasy. Everyone needs a Steves in their life and I guarantee you will never anywhere else on TV find a character like Chabuddy G. All I can say to the cast and crew is THANK YOU and keep it Kurrupt x

As an American I sadly was not in London when pirate radio and garage was popping. Nonetheless, the show managed to keep me invested in the story and the characters. While season one was slow, I'm glad I continued watching as the show gets much better. Season 4 was a little bit weak, but that's probably just because I wasn't a fan of Grindah's character in it. But the show managed to end on a high note with a good season 5 and a great ending. Overall the show is well worth a watch, and got me listening to some new music as well.

This series is fantastic. I guess if your one of these people ( they do exist ) you may not find it funny. Other wise it is great observational comedy. The characters are endearing and horrific at the same moment. The total delusion of grandeur these people have is so on point. The worrying thing from my point of view is I like the music they play. Well worth a watch.

It's so close to being exactly how I grew up it's uncanny! Brilliant! So well written! I love it!

At first glance this is another British mockumentary in the same vein as The Office. Pathetic characters in normal situations that are familiar yet far-fetched. We laugh at these people with a 'there but for the grace of god' sigh of relief. And yet there's something very real about the characters we meet in this comedy. Even if you don't live in a council tower block you either know people like this or know that people like this exist. The ambitions and eventual failure in achieving them by these sorry losers is very real. They're decent, (fairly) honest people caught in a trap and you're really cheering for them, but if they came up trumps it wouldn't be funny. The comedy is in their failure.

Like many people of my generation who were aspiring DJs, spending countless nights on the decks with their mates getting stoned, there's so much in this that rings true, and these relatively unknown actors do a superb job in making it all feel so real. We laugh with them, we laugh at them, then we come away feeling really bad for them, and it's this subtle fine-line that makes this new comedy really stand out.
