Trollied - FAQs
What is Trollied about?
Trollied is set inside Valco, a fictional budget supermarket in northwest England. The show mines comedy from the everyday chaos of retail life — bored checkout staff, well-meaning but ineffectual managers, and a parade of memorable customers ranging from the mildly irritating to the gloriously bizarre.
Who are the main characters in Trollied?
The ensemble cast includes Jason Watkins as the bumbling manager Gavin, Jane Horrocks as the sharp-tongued Julie, and Mark Addy as the laid-back Andy. Supporting regulars like Carl Rice as Colin and Beverly Rudd as Lisa round out the colourful Valco workforce.
Is Trollied worth watching for fans of British comedy?
Absolutely. Trollied delivers warm, character-driven humour in the tradition of great British workplace sitcoms. Its affectionate portrayal of supermarket life, sharp ensemble writing, and a cast packed with recognisable faces make it an easy, enjoyable watch — especially if you love shows like Still Open All Hours or The Office.

How many seasons and episodes does Trollied have?
Trollied ran for 7 seasons between 2011 and 2018, totalling 70 episodes. Season lengths varied across the run, from 8 to 14 episodes per series, with an additional collection of specials rounding out the complete Valco experience.
Who created Trollied and what inspired the show?
Trollied was created by Paul Doolan, Ash Atalla, and Anne Marie O'Connor. The show drew inspiration from the universal experience of supermarket shopping, finding rich comic potential in the mundane rhythms of retail work and the wildly varied cast of characters that populate any busy British supermarket.
Why did Trollied end after Season 7?
Trollied concluded naturally after its seventh season in 2018, having told the stories of Valco's staff and customers across a generous seven-year run. Sky One did not commission an eighth series, bringing the show to a close after 70 episodes and a strong, loyal audience following.
