TV preview: The People Just Do Nothing Story

On the face of it, a comedy about a group of very unlikely lads running a pirate radio station in Brentford, west London, sounds as though it might not be the average middle-aged woman's Americano (your previewer being the MAW in question). I mean, drum and bass, garage music, Brentford, tracky bottoms and baseball caps? But funny is funny.
