TV review: People Just Do Nothing

There are lots of ways in which People Just Do Nothing succeeds as near-peerless comedy (only This Country, another BBC Three creation, and Channel 4's The Windsors rivals it). Now just into its fourth series, the team has shifted gear a little, run plot lines a little longer, and introduce some tension and poignancy into proceedings without losing anything of the wit and pace that make it so superbly balanced.
