Kurupting the Industry: The People Just Do Nothing Story

The story of how a group of mates from Brentford took their online mockumentary and turned it into a smash hit British comedy. People Just Do Nothing has gone from YouTube to Bafta-winning sitcom and is now about to make its big-screen debut as a new feature film, Big in Japan. We hear from the producers who helped guide the show from YouTube to the BBC and beyond. Celebrity fans and collaborators Craig David, Dizzee Rascal, Clara Amfo and Martin Freeman explain why they think the show has become such a huge success, and the creators and cast of Kurupt FM reflect on their journey from teenage friends to winning the biggest prize in UK comedy. Beyond the show itself, they have sold out gig venues, performed at some of the world's biggest music festivals and worked with some of the biggest artists on the planet. And as they now prepare for their upcoming film release, what next for Brentford's biggest pirate radio crew and the legion of fans they have made all over the world?
