BBC's 'People Just Do Nothing' is an endearing comedy

Though each of the characters is deluded in their own way -- either about their talent, intelligence or the success of their romantic relationships -- we can't help but root for them.

Alexandra Bateman, Duke Chronicle, 3rd January 2018

The fourth series of raucous BBC Three comedy People Just Do Nothing took a satisfying veer into sad-com territory as the gang hit rock bottom and even the mayor of Hounslow himself, Chabuddy G was reduced to living out of his Renault Traffic. Thankfully, you can't keep a good man down - and by the finale our man was resplendent in red velvet having procured a pony for Miche and Grindah's wedding. "You wanna pony I'm not gonna ask what for ... as long as I get paid. You can fuck a pony, I don't care." Truly a hero for these times.

People Just Do Nothing: every episode is more hilarious

The hit BBC mockumentary has stopped playing up Kurupt FM's ineptitude and swapped it for something far sadder. It's a brave move - and as Grindah, Chabuddy and co sink to new lows, this show soars ever higher.
