People Just Do Nothing is a BBC television sitcom that was first broadcast in the United Kingdom by BBC Three on 20 July 2014. Created, written and performed by Allan Mustafa, Steve Stamp, Asim Chaudhry and Hugo Chegwin, the programme follows the lives of MC Grindah (Mustafa) and DJ Beats (Chegwin), who run Kurupt FM, a pirate radio station broadcasting garage and drum and bass from Brentford in west London. The show follows a mockumentary format, and was the first BBC Three programme to premiere exclusively on its iPlayer service.
The show started life in 2010 as "Wasteman TV", a YouTube series that was filmed and edited by Asim Chaudhry (Chabuddy G) before the BBC commissioned a pilot on 17 August 2012, which became the most shared iPlayer show for the month. A four-part series was eventually commissioned, which first aired on iPlayer in July 2014, then on terrestrial television the following month. A second series, of five episodes, aired in July 2015.
In October 2015, the BBC announced it had commissioned a third and fourth series of People Just Do Nothing, both consisting of six 30-minute episodes. The BBC confirmed Series 3 & 4 would initially be available on the new online BBC Three and later screened on BBC Two.
Episode one of series three premiered on BBC iPlayer on 17 August 2016. Episodes of series three were released weekly on iPlayer and then broadcast the following week on BBC Two.
Series four will be released in 2017. In March 2017 the cast appeared alongside musician Ed Sheeran in a spoof music video for the charity Comic Relief on BBC One.
Much of the filming took place around the Haverfield Estate in Green Dragon Lane, Brentford.
In Australia, the series premiered on 12 August 2015 on Channel [V].
