This Country
Why this pick
Its mockumentary style turns tiny rural dramas into painfully funny character comedy, with the same affectionate patience for deluded ambition and awkward everyday detail.

The Office
Why this pick
The original workplace mockumentary shares Kurupt FM’s deadpan realism, unbearable social misfires and compassion for people clinging to grand self-images.

Trailer Park Boys

A scruffy faux-documentary about a fiercely loyal group whose confidence vastly exceeds their competence; its loose, escalating schemes suit the Kurupt FM energy.
04
The Job Lot
Why this pick
This British ensemble comedy finds big comic stakes in a modest setting, pairing workplace pettiness with warm, sharply observed relationships.
05
Stath Lets Flats
Why this pick
Its lead has the same magnificent lack of self-awareness as Kurupt FM’s crew, while the comedy stays grounded in specific London social textures and tender group dynamics.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
This mockumentary goes behind the microphone of Kurupt FM - the second most popular pirate radio station in West London, receiving up to eight texts per show and playing the finest in UK garage and drum 'n' bass. Co-founded by the MC Sniper and DJ Beats in 2002, the station has now built up a following of over a hundred people and has attracted the attention of the BBC who are making a documentary about the lives of those behind Kurupt FM
