Trollied

After an absence of nearly a decade, Sky recently decided to jump back into sitcom production and came up with Trollied. Featuring a pretty solid group of veteran actors, the network has reportedly committed to producing 27 more episodes in the coming couple years. Of course, these things can change (The IT Crowd for example). The setting of Trollied is a supermarket and it's employees. (For those of you in North America, in the UK what you call a "shopping basket" or "shopping cart", they call a "trolley".....and the rear wheels are not fixed so they don't go in a straight line when you push them.) The creator of the show felt a sitcom about a supermarket might work and it hadn't been done before. Guess he wasn't around when Tripper's Day and Slinger's Day were on the box and then there was 2010's Shelfstackers.
Some very recognizable people in this, starting with Jane Horrocks (no need to list her creds...would be too long anyways), Mark Addy (The Thin Blue Line, Sunnyside Farm, the USA show Still Standing, Bonkers, Robin Hood), Jason Watkins (Duck Patrol, All About George, Funland, Five Days, Life And Times Of Vivienne Vyle, Little Dorrit, Murderland, Being Human, Psychoville), Rita May (Fat Friends, Early Doors, Coronation Street), Carl Rice (Massive), Lorraine Cheshire (Early Doors, Tittybangbang) and so on.
