Thanks for the heads-up, I'm catching up on this great show and telling my friends about it - still on Series 2. So much in it I could probably start watching all over again once I have caught up.

DJ Decoy's quiet pain deserves an award in itself.

And as for Chabuddy G, where to start? My firm's recruiting at the moment, I'll tell HR to watch the episode where he's trying to get staff for his T-shirt printing business. 'Why won't they get in my van? Maybe it only works for Mexicans.'

Loved Roche's reply to being asked if she thinks Miche and Grindah are good parents. 'Well, I'm not one to judge, but no I don't.'
I think this 3rd series really has developed the characters so well, as you say they can hold up their own sub-stories.

This weeks gem of a moment for me (without too much of a spoiler): Grindah's contribution to the wedding fund bow

Its so funny because for all the nonsense you can tell the characters are based on real life experiences and people. Everyone knows a grindah and a steves.

Love this and Fleabag, both very accurate.

Not so keen on Murder in Sucessville.

Many thanks indeed! Virtual pint for the man that knows his tunes.

I agree. That character/actor has so much to give and yet loads of missed opportunities.

Chabuddy when he was in the van with Decoy "Hey Deeky"....and how he's going to get an Ipswich tattoo...on his lower back - absolute gold.

"Goodnight my Jamaican Prince"

Chabuddy G is on instagram - and WELL worth following. such gems as "I just faxed my tinder profile to your Auntie. Tell your Uncle, she's my girl now"

Decoy is subtle, the eye rolls and sideways looks. you know he only puts up with the rest of the clowns because of the kid.

Altair summed it up perfectly "Decoys quiet pain"

Theres some great tracks throughout, its one of the many things that makes People Just Do Nothing so great, despite being a spoof the guys involved are actually really good at making UK Garage laugh they have been touring the UK as Kurupt FM for a couple of years.

and some fun facts, 'DJ Beats' is the nephew of Keith Chegwin and has worked on soundtracks for The X Factor and Glee.

Watched all three series this week, really great programme.

Thought the last episode this week was really well wrapped up and as said, really sad/touching in places.

Hope Mich ends up with the real father smile

I thought it slightly odd that we met "Fantasy" this week as a stand in and it wasnt Decoy but I guess Decoy was out on the nest as alluded to by the girl calling in for him and hanging up on Grindah.

As with Fleabag BBC3 has (after many missed shots) hit the bullseye with these two and lets hope they continue.

Does this spell the end for Radio though?

Beats is a family man now, Grinda is on his arse, Steves is... well Steves is Steves! And maybe Miche has moved on, as has Decoy.
