Local psychic Keith Futures has trouble finding a buyer for his Komodo dragon.

A local psychic has a bit of trouble finding a buyer for his Komodo dragon. Stars Sanjeev Kohli and Donald Mcleary. From 2017.

Local psychic and futurologist Keith Futures finds it hard to find a buyer for his Kimodo Dragon. 

Meanwhile, Mrs Birkett mourns the passing of her beloved cat, Biscuits.

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.
