Trollied

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 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 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.

The first two seasons were funny but after Leighton left the show it was very poor.

Emigrated to Brisbane, Australia from the UK in 1991. Love UK shows and in particular love this show. Love the location, characters and their lives. All individuals, all unique and all absolutely lovely.

Are UK supermarkets like this? I hope so ............ get me a job there and I will be back over like a shot :-)
