SERIES 1 SYNOPSIS
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.
SERIES 1 PRESS
(Trollied) certainly has a fair daub of deliberate awkwardness, alongside some impressive characterisation. INDEPENDENT
