The People Just Do Nothing creators were able to make the trip seem natural since their song was popular in Japan but they were just a novelty act. The Inbetweeners lads went to Corfu and Australia in their films, Jack Whitehall took his class to Cornwall, and the Ad Fab ladies escaped to the French Rivera.
The People Just Do Nothing movie also had to stick to the tradition of British films based on the TV show: take the main characters away from their natural environment.
So, the deal in Japan was Kurupt FM’s last shot. Grindah and Beats (Hugo Chegwin) had moved on to proper jobs. The film picks up where the final episode left off with Grindah in Essex. The film did feel like a continuation and wasn’t trying to retcon the events of the final season. The creators were able to succeed on that front. So, the people behind the show and film had to find a way to continue Kurupt FM’s story.

However, People Just Do Nothing seemed like an unlikely candidate for a film adaptation because of its mockumentary format and the series concluded with Kurupt FM shutting down and Grindah (Allan Mustafa) and his family moving to Essex. People Just Do Nothing was a big hit for the BBC – it went from web series to having five seasons on British television. Now films based on British TV shows might be coming back. The height of this boom was in the mid-noughties. Bad Education, Absolutely Fabulous, Spooks, and Dad’s Army all received cinematic adaptation or continuations in the 2010s and all were met with various degrees of success. Since the success of The Inbetweeners Movie, there has been a flood of films based on British TV shows. During that time one of their songs has been used on a Japanese game show and a record label invite the boys to Tokyo. It has been three years since the Kurupt FM boys have split up and gone their separate ways. BBC Three’s People Just Do Nothing is the latest show to get the cinematic treatment. Films based on TV shows are a staple of the British film industry.
