Trollied

I thought that after series 3 Trollied would end - but it returned better than ever. I loved series 4. I laughed with, not at, the lovable characters. I looked back at the episodes later and could not help but smile. The new deputy manager, Daniel (fresh out of Dr Who) is superb and Stephen Tompkinson is excellent as the new pharmacist. Neville is as likable as ever and Gavin is - as always - a star! Trollied Season 4 is he best ever - remember, always, VALCO SERVES YOU RIGHT!

I can't believe this show has such a low score.

Bristling with talent such as Mark Addy (Game of Thrones - The Full Monty) and Jane Horrocks (Little Voice - Absolutely Fabulous) and the new addition for series 2 of Stephanie Beacham.

The first series was hilarious with many laugh out loud moments. My favourite was where Leighton was following the repair guy all day which culminated in the toilets. You could actually feel the guys pain in his final comment. I had to rewind it and watch it again I was crying that much with laughter.

Now, in series 2 we have the addition of the beautiful Stephanie Beacham in a role you could never have predicted. If you enjoyed granny's language in the Catherine Tate show you are going to wet yourself at Miss Beacham's character Lorraine. Hats off to her for this role but I bet she has never had so much fun playing a character. Dynasty fans will probably have a coronary when she opens her mouth.

I am not condoning bad language but when it comes from someone you are not expecting it to, it is hilarious.

Add in things like Linda & Colin's unexpected "relationship" and you have an absolute classic. (I used the word relationship in it's loosest term) Give this a couple of episodes so you get to know the characters and you will not be disappointed. Stick through till series 2 and Stephanie Beacham will have you creased up with laughter and "as sharp as a b*****d". 10 out of 10

I Have just watched series 1,2 & 3 in a week and i enjoyed mostly series 1 & 2 but series 3 was so so bad with the worst character i think i have ever seen in a series namely one Richard France who just made me cringe every time he was on screen. I don't blame the actor if he was told to act like someone under five years old and who made Leighton seem like Albert Einstein and don't get me started on the blokes on the fish counter especially him with the beard, talk about dumb TV. I also saw the making of doc where the producer or writer whoever he was said that Trollied was the first comedy set in a supermarket well i can name two before this as there was Trippers Day & Slingers Day. I Have high hopes for series 4 now with have DCI BANKS in it and Miriam Margoyles but will miss Julie and Katie very much.

I started watching the show a few weeks back and am at the end of season 3. I found this show really difficult to rate for the below reason:

Season 1 - 8 Season 2 -7.5 Season 3 - 4

What happened in season 3? The introduction of Richard France was, in my opinion, the worst thing to happen to the show. His character is just awful, over the top, annoying and unfunny.

The charm of the show in the earlier seasons was that it felt like a mocumentary of a super market but by season 3 the feeling of the show has changed. Shame.

I would happily work for minimum wage if it meant I got to work in Valco. I loved season 2 with Loraine. Her sense of humour is honestly hilarious. It was harder to watch when the original actors all started disappearing. I also wish The wedding episode was tide into season 7 as now I don't think il ever get the chance to watch it as its not available to watch or purchase anywhere. Maybe now its been taken off Now TV they mite add it as a purchase option to Prime or something.
