I borrowed the DVD on the strength of the 'rave' reviews here saying it was hilarious and very funny. Sadly, I didn't find it funny at all. I didn't like any of the characters. Julie, especially, is so annoying. I really wanted to like this as there is so little comedy around these days, but it just didn't do it for me. Comic moments, for me, have to be unexpected to make me laugh and I just found each episode predictable and lame. I didn't even bother to finish watching the whole DVD set. Life is too short to watch stuff you don't enjoy.

This is the best comrade I have ever watched lived it

I started watching 'Trollied' in the Summer of last year when I caught up on the first four series within a matter of days! I was glued to each episode as I found all the characters both interesting and entertaining.It has to be one of the only television programmes in existence where I like every single character. However, my favourite HAS to be the elderly worker there, Margaret. The programme is wonderfully and cleverly scripted, each line hidden with jokes for all demographics of viewers.The cast are well blended too, each of them adding something different to the mix.My only complaint that stops me giving it full marks is there aren't enough episodes in each series!

1st 3 seasons rated 7.5 stars, 4th season rated 2.5 stars. The Brits have done it again. They have taken a good show and totally screwed it up, just like series two of Plebs. The new season is just a mish mash of unbelievable and unlikable characters that do nothing but irritate you, like Miriam Margolyes who plays Colins Grandma Rose. Colin is hugely unlikable and his grandma is even worse. The writers and producers of this show have mistakenly decided that the more hateful and undesirable characters they can cram into the show, the better. Forget comedy, this is just a mess of stupidity. There is nothing funny in this 1st episode, its just makes you want the final episode to come out, where Gavin and the other good characters escape to great futures while Colin and his girlfriend go to prison and Sue, Linda and Rose get fired...........there will not be a series 5. They lost these characters, they were the glue that held this show together...........Big Mistake! Jane Horrocks ... Julie Adeel Akhtar ... Ray Joel Fry ... Leighton Mark Addy ... Andy (already gone, too bad) They should have lost these irritating and unbelievable characters a long time ago! Lets face it, people like this are either in prison or on welfare. Lorraine Cheshire ... Sue Faye McKeever ... Linda Carl Rice ... Colin Beverly Rudd ... Lisa Minor characters they kept that are somewhat entertaining but can't save the show now. Dominic Coleman ... Neville Rita May ... Margaret Take them or leave them, they are replaceable without really effecting the show too much. Chanel Cresswell ... Katie Nick Blood ... Kieran Danny Kirrane ... Dave Victor McGuire ... IanUpdate: Just watched Episode 2 and with the introduction of two new characters, Samuel Anderson as Daniel, the new deputy manager and Aisling Bea as Charlie, the new checker and the owners daughter, the season is looking up. This episode was quite funny and a hint was dropped at the end that the miserable Rose may be on her way out so there may be some hope after all.
