About this listen
First broadcast in 2007, Fags, Mags and Bags delivers shop-based shenanigans and over-the-counter philosophy, courtesy of Ramesh Mahju and his trusty sidekick, Dave.
Ramesh has built his shop up over the course of 30 years, and it is a firmly entrenched feature of the local area. He is ably assisted by Dave, a 40-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. However, they are the natural successors to the business, and Ramesh is keen to pass all his worldly wisdom on to them - whether they like it or not....

If you know it - it’ll be a shoe-in
- if don’t know it please give it a go -
Old fashioned, good natured sit-com
It’s an absolute joy from start to finish
Brilliantly written and brilliantly acted
There’s a particular joy in language and wordplay and in the way it wanders the backstreets of popular culture
Most of all it’s warm-hearted and affectionate
Might be an acquired taste for some or the setting might seem a bit niche - but it’s genuinely as good as any comedy I’ve ever heard on the radio
- up there with Cabin Pressure, Trench, Steptoe, Partridge, Dads Army, Finnemore for me
It is both amazing and great !
Five Alive !
