Paul English, Daily Record, 4th May 2013The lunchtime invasion by a swarm of schoolchildren leaves devastation in its wake. A new line of confectionery called Fizzy Limbs is the cause of the frenzy. This third episode of the Glasgow corner-shop sitcom is as mad as ever - and very funny. You might need to sharpen your ears for the wide-ranging accents, but it's worth the effort.
Daily Mail, 10th October 2012A lively edition of the comedy set in a Scottish corner shop has guest Julie T Wallace (star of the BBC's The Lives and Loves of a She-Devil) as Mrs Temple, a fearsome local headmistress with an unfortunate alliteration habit, as in "Don't be a mumbling Millicent!". When she tries to stop the shop from selling Fizzy Limb sweets to her hyperactive pupils, Ramesh decides that continuing to serve all his customers whatever they want is a point of "Peter principle".
