The BBC has now formally announced the fifth series of People Just Do Nothing.

The critically acclaimed mockumentary has been a big hit for BBC Three online, but the fifth series - its final - will debut straight on BBC Two, as well as being available through BBC Three's internet platforms.

The six part series will be broadcast later this year.

BBC Comedy Commissioner Shane Allen says: "This swansong series see's the gang end things on a high, although to be fair they've been fairly high since day one. The love for this show is immense and we want to see them off in style but aren't expecting Kurupt FM to be any more respectable on Two."

Referencing how Series 4 ended, BBC Two bosses tease: "DJ Steves has been arrested and all the station equipment has been seized by the Police. Can the crew find a new home to transmit from and finally make Kurupt FM go global? Will Chabuddy be able to find time to help alongside his job and his insatiable new girlfriend?

"The station isn't the only thing under threat. After the excitement of the Wedding, Miche and Grindah have been rocked by news that the council have decided to knock down the Brentford blocks to make way for luxury flats. Where will this leave the family?"

Grindah and Beats have filmed a video to tease the comedy's return.

Series 1 to 4 are now available to own on DVD.
