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!

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.

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

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.
