Schrodinger's Birkenstock Interface Situation

Series 6

BBC Radio 4 - Fags, Mags and Bags, Series 6, Schrodinger's Birkenstock Interface Situation

A church-organised community choir-off results in a Fifa-esque bribery scandal.

A church-organised community choir-off causes a Fifa-esque bribery scandal. Stars Sanjeev Kohli and Donald Mcleary. From 2016.

Tempers are frayed as Lovely Sue and Mrs Birkett set up competing choirs for The West of Scotland community choir-off, and Sanjay and his mate Grebo make Mrs Begg an internet star. 

More Scots-Asian corner shop shenanigans written by and starring Donald Mcleary and Sanjeev Kohli.

The staff are back for their tireless quest to bring nice-price custard creams and cans of coke with Arabic writing on them to an ungrateful nation. Ramesh Mahju has built it up over the course of over 30 years and is a firmly entrenched, friendly presence in the local area. He is joined by his shop sidekick, Dave.

Then of course there are Ramesh's sons Sanjay and Alok, both surly and not particularly keen on the old school approach to shopkeeping, but natural successors to the business. Ramesh is keen to pass all his worldly wisdom onto them - whether they like it or not!
