8/10
It's easy, fun viewing.

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.
