Our Review: A fairly middle-of-the-road Scottish radio sitcom. Fags, Mags & Bags has some amusing moments, but if you missed an episode it's probably not something you'd cry about. That said, as the series have progressed, we have started to love this show as we get to know the upbeat characters a bit more.
