the authenticity really comes through in the show. You can tell it's not made up by some out of touch BBC producer. Hope it's not their last project working together
I first discovered them from their youtube episodes. Couldn’t believe it when i heard BBC picked them up for a series because it was such a niche concept. The series has become more accessible for people who didn’t grow up knowing these types of people but at its core the characters, though extreme caricatures, are very real. Holding on to a bygone era and have no clue about the modern world. Kudos to the BBC for giving these talented people a platform for their comedy.
Yeah, it's just a shame the last episode of the webseries was annihilated PC (as in politically correct) style and almost impossible to find anymore. Even online articles describing the series go into the detail of all but the last episode. Someone decided it was too insensitive for these uber senistive snowflake sjw times and did a proper erase, soviet union censorship styleeeeeee. That's what happens when you roll with da BBC's I guess.
Ash is the same dude who was producer on The Office no wonder there are some clear similarities and the standard is high, man knows how to produce some quality programming
I grew up near these boys, can relate to their shenanigans a lot, blazing, working in a call centre, prank calling, etc. They done so well to turn all of that into something commercially tangible, humorous and ultimately successful. All the best to you lads
I wish I could get more of my pals here in the US to watch this show. Funniest show I have seen in a very long time. Very well written and incredibly witty characters.
Some episodes start off at over an hour before editing? There’s definitely shit loads of discarded gold in there for us esoteric west London garage heads. Please deliver.
If you see them talk about what they did as a job before the show you can see them all look over to grindah and they joke in reference to the call centre jobs that he would have had ‘lots of phones’ and the producer then goes to say ‘you got an eighth?’ Man was deffo a drug dealer ahahaha
These boys got the era spot on! If your a certain age then this show is like a slice of your own life, sidewinder, pure garage, speed garage, mc kie, heartless cru, dj luck, pay as you go cartel. Me and my mates were all like this and I know in many cities and towns its the same. Pirate radio. Pirate sets n raves. Seshs with your mates on the vinyls and bad hash. Memories
@@singalexsong no don’t get me wrong I hear the emphasis on the accents but I guess for the street British twang shines through more and I find it more at odds with his dress sense which is Indian cool or even gypsy. TBF I think it’s just a very interesting hilarious character and you will find something there that’s stands out more. Just my perspective. I realised it’s at odds with many
Its mad how an idea between friends has been able to be shared like this, unreal show I just hope this leads to more opportunities for others who come from nothing being able to express themselves when they have legitimate talent
she's everything that's wrong with mainstream media. Entitled, mediocre, but white and middle class so is somehow qualified to talk about this. I know a lot of people who smoke weed and they are in responsible jobs, are extremely creative, and well-adjusted members of society. Alcohol is so much worse
I am totally addicted to this show, watched on Netflix. I was gutted when I finished the series. Thanks guys and girls. I have a terrible crush on Miche.
As an expat, only just found & seen this show! Brilliant!!! LOve it & keep rewatching... Also foud out that Dan (Decoy) was an apprentice for my niece's dad (electrician)
WOW this is like the cinderella story of some stoners making youtube videos just for fun, and ending up making one of the most inspired and fun british sitcoms of the last years
When things naturally evolve and the stars all align truely great things are created! This program is absolutely brilliant! Every character is perfection
Beats didn't exactly have any real competition when it comes to character progression but in his own way, Grindah was almost as good due to the last season coming in clutch for him.
There was a documentary in the early 2000s called Tower Block Dreams.. That's where they got the idea. Can't fault there execution and how far they have taken it though
I’ve watched all 5 seasons over 50 times! As a costme/Prop designer and Mocumentary master in film and music it was right up my alley! This is genius art and film at its absolute best! Very upset Netflix dropped it from the platform! Been trying to find a US region Dvd /Blu of all episodes since! Loved The Japan episode! It made my month! Love you Chabuds! PS what really happened to Nan? We all miss her!
PJDN just gets brentford down to a T with the whole garage vibe reminds me when i was younger lol with the decks in the room and the dress sense. I wish them them all the best and more success.
Has nobody seen “Tower block dreams”. A documentary about the scene in Southend. It’s definitely where they got it from. They even took the same names!
First thought: Where's Decoy and Miche? I had no idea that the actors were also writers/creators, really cool. Also, I was under the impression that the show was a comedy fictional take-off on the "Ghetto on Sea" episode of the 2004 documentary "Tower Block Dreams" about a pirate radio station in Southend, is that a misconception or is that true?
AllPeopleUniti know your comment was a while ago but speaking to others it definitely is taken from tower block dreams there is lots of scenes taken from there
Chabudy G's best line "waste what want what? what not want what? the old saying you know, not what want what " that and trying to say vorld vibe veb lol
I'm surprised by how similar they are irl to their characters. I really thought it was like an Ali G thing (like Ash said) where they were like complete caricatures done by some amazing actors. That's really nice, it shows there was a lot of subtlety to appreciate.
The funniest shit in this was when Asim said they filmed in his dads taxi office and there was a load of real chebuddy g’s in there looking at him and it was awkward
Top lads . My spiritual bro's . In early 2000's all i did was smoke weed , make bassy 2step and 4x4 garage , dj .. punt my cds about , tried to figure out how to get radio set up . In the end i retired with 1 record release at 26yrs old ... fate of a scottish garage boy 😂
Just curious, who is everyone’s favorite character? I gotta say Steve’s is mine. He’s just so innocent and child like. The way he was all happy about being their accountant and spending all of his money, or when he was afraid of religion at the christening of angel. Some may not get this reference but he’s def got a little Stan laurel in him from the old Oliver and hardy movies and being a fan of those, maybe that’s why I find him so funny.
Not sure if you guys know this, but most of the characters and the whole idea of people just do nothing, was based on an early 2000's documentary called 'tower block dreams '. The full documentary is on youtube and it has all the characters which inspired PJDN, some even have the exact same names (DJ Beasts, Decoy etc.). Some scenes on the original PJDN webisodes are word for word exactly the same as the tower block dreams documentary
PJDN is brilliant and one of my favourites - but why didn't they mention the documentary 'tower block dreams' which the show is quite obviously based on?
Is there anyway of getting some of the tracks? On the first episode (not the pilot) were beats fires up the decks and grindah starts mc'ing (about 4mins In) its an absolute banger and clearly a 1 off because shazam or nothing finds it
the authenticity really comes through in the show. You can tell it's not made up by some out of touch BBC producer. Hope it's not their last project working together
Oliver 2000 totally agree. I thought they could of ended with the truth about Decoys child! So much more of their stories to be told!
they mentioned around half way through this video that they are currently writing another series :)

Have you ever watched Tower Block Dreams Ghetto on Sea?
I agree mostly, except I don't know if they're even "extreme" in that I knew a guy pretty much *exactly* like Steves lol.

My favourite show. Could tell after the first time I saw it that it was going to be a massive hit eventually. Very proud of all of them.
I was lucky enough to make it along to this event and thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a nice bunch of guys who obviously love what they do.
The whole thing about Steve thinking Robyn is his nan reincarnated is literally one of the best thing about this show!
Coco Bob 😂😂😂😂 *holding baby “Nan??”
lets hope they write the script of Steves explaining reincarnation to Robyn (when shes older).

When grinder drops that pill at the rave he looks proper off his nut 😂😂 convinced he actually got on it for that episode haha

Every character is perfection
What a show. We won’t see one like this again, so original and so funny.
Beats had the best character progression. Gave himself purpose aside from radio, plus th e way he interacts with Craig n Roche 😂
Beats didn't exactly have any real competition when it comes to character progression but in his own way, Grindah was almost as good due to the last season coming in clutch for him.
Excellent writing and heart went into this show! It could not have been so perfectly without a touch of experience in that lifestyle. Love it
I only found this snow on Netflix a week ago. It’s genius.
There was a documentary in the early 2000s called Tower Block Dreams.. That's where they got the idea. Can't fault there execution and how far they have taken it though
Maybe they couldn't even mention it cos of the Charlie Sloth episode that was pulled?
