Slinger's Day

TV Series 1986 TMDB 5.8/10 Ended

Slinger's Day is a British sitcom created by Brian Cooke and produced by Thames Television for ITV. A continuation of Tripper's Day, which had come to a natural end due to a combination of star Leonard Rossiter's death and an overwhelmingly negative response, Bruce Forsyth plays a different character to Norman Tripper but fulfilling the same role, that of the manager of a Supafare supermarket with a team of incompetent eccentrics. Several cast members from Tripper's Day reprised their roles in the first series but departed in the second, allowing for new characters. Broadcast for two six-episode runs from 1986–87, Slinger's Day represented Forsyth's sole situation comedy acting role, and he remained more associated with stand-up and game shows.

Slinger's Day is a TV series first shown in 1986. TMDB lists 2 seasons and 12 episodes for this title. Status: Ended. Genres: Comedy. TMDB score 5.8/10 from 4 votes.
