FAGS, MAGS & BAGS- RADIO 4

BROADCAST ON BBC RADIO 4 - 14/11/08 – 19/12/08

Join Ramesh, Dave, Alok and Sanjay for the 2nd series of ‘Fags, Mags & Bags’ on BBC Radio 4.   This series you can marvel at the sheer hideousness of Ramesh’s extended family, guffaw loudly at Alok’s celebrity branded merchandise, and openly laugh and point at Sanjay’s attempts at facial hair.

So once again hear the staff of Fags, Mags and Bags in their tireless quest to bring nice-price custard creams and cans of coke with Arabic writing on them to an ungrateful nation. Enter this heady world of behind the counter philosophy, courtesy of the Mahju family, the head of which is Ramesh. 

Ramesh has built the shop up over the course of 30 years, and is a firmly entrenched feature of the local area. Ramesh is ably assisted by his shop sidekick Dave, a forty-something underachiever who shares Ramesh’s love of the art of shopkeeping, even if he is treated like a slave.

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.

This year the show also has some splendid video clips called “Shopumentary” and “Wall of Crisps”, watch them here:
