Chickpea Landslide

Ramesh’s girlfriend opens a foodbank in Lenzie but she’s got competition. Stars Sanjeev Kohli and Donald Mcleary. From 2016.

Ramesh's girlfriend Malcolm has opened up Lenzie's first food bank to help the local needy.

However, the patrons appear to be quite pernickety about what's on offer, and a debate opens up about who is actually eligible to use the food bank, causing tension amongst the Lenzidens.

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!
