Set in Valco, a fictional supermarket in the north-west of England, Trollied is an eight-part sitcom that puts a comic twist on one of our most familiar surroundings.

Acting deputy manager Julie struggles to assert her authority and fails at almost every attempt to make a good impression on store manager Gavin. She also has something of a crush on Gavin, who manages to rebuff her clumsily executed flirtations - that is, if he's aware of them at all.

Julie's many weaknesses include a significant lack of people skills, a source of amusement for butcher double-act Andy and Kieran. While Andy is a dedicated to the art of butchery, his young apprentice Kieran is bored of chops, mince and ribs. Similarly, at the checkout, a fed-up Katie dreams of going travelling. The only good thing about her job in Valco is the clear chemistry she has with Kieran.

Meanwhile, new starter Margaret, a recruit of Valco's older person employment scheme, is a constant source of irritation to Julie and far from a natural on the tills.
