The Kurupt FM boys are back, taking over BBC3 for their hit third season of People Just Do Nothing.

Starting off as a Youtube hit series filmed by the one and only Chabuddy G, the show's popularity soon caught BBC's attention and the series became the most shared iPlayer show.

The underground cult comedy follows the lives of MC Grindah, DJ Beats, Steve, Decoy, Miche and Chabuddy G. Setting up their own pirate radio station in West London known famously as Kurupt FM, the mockumentary series unfolds the day-to-day lives of the boys (and their long-suffering spouses).

Nominated for the Best Scripted Comedy at the 2016 Bafta Awards, and celebrating their return to our screens, we have picked out our top clips from PJDN.

The West London boys take a trip down to Dragon's Den, pitching "108.9 on your dial" to the fiery likes of Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones. Hearing the big bosses are "giving away bare money", the boys aim to impress the dragons with their figures, "50 listeners every Friday, 8 Texts.. and a wedding for £50". After a fiery blowout with Deborah and requesting for "the main one, Alan Sugar", the three boys get given some p's for their taxi home. That's about it though

With house ravers determined to destroy UK Garage, Kurupt FM present 'A Dis One', the official music video and the ultimate diss to house heads. Look out for Chabuddy G still promoting the peanut dust at around 3:50...

Not know how to promote your music? Want to get your music heard? Chabuddy G takes us on an intimate guide to his top tips of promoting your music. From giving us that inspirational "liquid ooz" to creating an "exceptional spectacle", we see first hand from the man himself. Keep note on how to compliment the ladies - "sugarface" is our favourite chat up line.


Sit, back and relax as Grindah teaches us how to MC properly. The clip showcases different aspects of MC'n, from the technical side to the lyrical capabilities of Grindah with his 'Ragga Rap'. The boys also bring on Steve, who has taken a pill and is about to come up to show the importance of "crowd control".

"It's a Kuruption ting, Kurupt FM's a way of life"

Taking over the Radio 1 live lounge, the Kurupt FM boys perform 'Oh No' and Stromzy's 'Shut Up'. Looking suave in his white suit, Chabuddy G vocally supports Grindah and DJ Beats with a special performance from DJ Fantasy all the way from China. Watch out for Steve's secret talent of playing the recorder at the 2:00 mark...

Although this scene never actually got aired in the previous series, it just cannot be missed. Steve takes a trip to the local hardware store in the search of some lights, "the 3D ones". Sniffing around the hardware store as he finds "weed-scented flooring", Steve gets himself in a pickle trying to find the exit. "This is all wrong, this is all wrong, there are bare kitchens".

Chabuddy G answers political questions about the future, exclaiming he is UKIP's nightmare. Imagine just "betroot and curry.. builders and kebab shops". Be prepared for a lot of "little Chabolskas".

Finally, the preview to the third series showcases the boys urge to create a new track and hire a studio. Spitting bars in the car, Grindah who "looks like Idris Elba" gives us a tasty teaser, with DJ Beats in the back joining in. Reminding us all, that "no one needs to go Thailand and read a book" once you get inspired by these fellas.
