Cumulus Nimbus

Alok's famous former school friend returns to Lenzie for a visit. Stars Sanjeev Kohli and Donald McLeary. From 2017.

Alok's former best friend at school returns to Lenzie to host a film audition. Fraser Linlithgow is now a big hit in Hollywood, and Alok is keen to cash in on his fame.

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.
