Corner Shop Show is a British comedy drama web series that premiered on YouTube in March 2014. The series is created by Islah Abdur-Rahman and consists of continuous episodes uploaded on his YouTube channel CornerShopShow, following the adventures of a young man's transition to fill his father's shoes after becoming the custodian of the family business.

Premise

In mid 2013, the series came to fruition when Islah Abdur-Rahman was with a friend who, like Malik in the series, was taking care of a family business whilst his father was away on business. Whilst they were in the shop, that Abdur-Rahman began mind mapping a new series.[1]

Development

The original music is provided by Mike Tan, the theme song features vocals by the creator, director and writer of the series, Islah Abdur-Rahman alongside former UK Beatbox Champion MC Zani.[1]

In August 2014, Episodes 1 and 2 of Corner Shop Show were removed from YouTube[1] because Abdur-Rahman did not think they had the same production level as Episode 3 onwards and wanted to take the series in a new direction.[2] The series is due to reboot in 2016 and serve as origin story episodes. The series had its television premier on Christmas Eve 2014 on Brit Asia TV. When reaching the ninth Episode, Abdur-Rahman launched a crowd funding campaign to create the Corner Shop Movie.
