Corner Shop Show

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, Abdur-Rahman began mind mapping a new series.
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. As the series ventured into its second season, the team included singer/songwriter Sonna Rele & Sauce
In August 2014, Episodes 1 and 2 of "Corner Shop Show" were removed from YouTube 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. The series had its television premiere on Christmas Eve 2014 on Brit Asia TV. When reaching the ninth Episode, Abdur-Rahman launched a crowd funding campaign to create Season 2.
Music.
Soundtrack.
The soundtrack of the "Corner Shop Show" contains original and parody music, all of which are created by Mistah Islah.
Spin-offs.
As of October 2015, a miniseries called "Corner Shop Express" was launched. It aimed to bring weekly videos for its viewers.
The Corner Shop Show YouTube channel eventually dissolved into The CS Network in early 2019 as Islah Abdur-Rahman conversed about plans of launching other series and spin-offs.
