Reviews

Paul Evans Set in the fictional northern supermarket Valco, Trollied looks at the everyday working life of its employees. At the helm is Gavin, he does his best to run a happy and tight ship, but as with any business, not everything runs as smoothly as it should.I've been an avid fan of Trollied since it began, Series 1 and 2 were fantastically funny, the dynamic between Jason Watkins and Jane Horrocks was hilarious, I also loved Stephanie Beacham's Lorraine. I liked Colin and Lisa's unlikely relationship too. Series 3 was a disaster, as others have rightly said the Richard France character made me switch off. Series 4 was OK, but Series 5 seems very much back on track, getting Sarah Parish on board has made all the difference.I love Linda and Sue on the service desk, I am so glad they've stayed on the show, they're great. Margaret is wonderfully funny, I'm a big fan of Rita May. I must admit I am missing Kieran, Leighton and Julie.It's such a difficult show to review because it has contained highs and lows, I'll score it 8/10, because when it's been good it's been great, we'll forgive them for Series 3.

milero91 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 - 4What 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.

BladerunnerCHQ 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

mikealike This feels so familiar, because so many times we have seen the people who sit at the counter, stock the goods or chop the meat in the "no man's land" that supermarkets are, yet we have seen them with the corner of out eye. In Trollied they are filmed, they have names and lives, they actually don't care too much about the hatred management, which is repulsive to the managers themselves after all...spending day after day in the "merchandise forest", the guys get around the stiff rules and go on being the guys.It's a slow paced comedy, under the neon lights everybody knows that the surveillance cameras or the bosses eyes cannot work everywhere and all the time. Before the digital supervision, a friend once told me stories about working in a supermarket and stuffing his face in the back alleys together with the other shelf boys. Now it's a bit harder, but still...everyone is bored, everyone compensated...talks, is naughty, reads from the shelves, eats from the shelves. the scenes are like bits and bobs, sometimes cameos. As I said, it looks so familiar, but not from other shows, but from life.The show stand out because it does not wretch of forced script, concept or performances. They just struck gold by keeping it real, observing and adapting for screen.Good one.
