BBC Radio 4 - Fags, Mags and Bags, Series 8, Lenzie Has Fallen

Comedy set in a Scots-Asian corner shop. Written by Sanjeev Kohli and Donald Mcleary.

Suspicions are raised about the source of a lurgy outbreak in Lenzie. Stars Sanjeev Kohli and Donald Mcleary. From 2018.

Mrs Birkett raises suspicions about the source of a lurgy outbreak in Lenzie and starts to point an accusing finger at Hilly.

More shop based shenanigans and over the counter philosophy, courtesy of Ramesh Mahju and his trusty sidekick Dave.

Set in a Scots-Asian corner shop, the staff continue 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.

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

Written by and starring Donald Mcleary and Sanjeev Kohli.
