Charity Shop Sue (2019– ) User Reviews

Hidden Gem

I wish more people knew about this, absolutely incredible! Needs a second series!

Think Nighty Night meets Kath & Kim but set up north and you would be halfway there. Each episode is equally as good as the other, leaving you binge watching the whole series in a couple of hours!

Amazing

This series is the funniest thing i have watched in ages and ages! all the characters are fab in the show the all have likability and all relatable. The story lines are very simple (in a good way) it reminds me of Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie its very easy to watch. Sue steals the whole show and has become an internet icon aswell as TikTok. i pray for more to come from this amazing show Sue Tuke Managah get on the bloody till

One series just isn't enough

Welcome to Sec*Hand Chances, the charity shop that keeps on giving. Like others have said here, I watched the first 10-minute episode on YouTube and couldn't stop watching until I had seen the whole lot. (Six half-hour episodes have been split into 18 ten-minute episodes on You Tube.)

Sue, the manager of the charity shop, is trying everything and anything she can think of to bring the money in and prevent the shop being closed down. Her hilarious efforts at fundraising are what makes this show, along with her unique idea of what constitutes good customer service and staff management.

I cannot recommend this series enough. Apparently, the writers are considering a second series, given the popularity of the first one, and that can't come soon enough for me. In the meantime, I find myself returning again and again to my favourite one-liners, such as "Get some stuff from the buffet bar. I want your staff to eat like kings" and of course the classic, "Excuse me lady. You're supposed to be on the bloody till." Sue Tuke, Manager - long may she reign.

Outstanding

This is the most hilarious show I've seen in years. I loved every bit of it. The lead actress is fantastic and her comedic timing is absolutely spot on. Cmon laydeh give us another season.

How on earth is this show not more widely known?

[Wenchpie · 10/10 · 8 June 2022]

Stumbled across this gem of a show just now and I'm hooked already. We all know someone like Sue; that cigarette cough and the passive aggressive laugh is absolutely spot on! The supporting actors do a fantastic job as well! I won't say more because spoilers but if you haven't seen it, do so. Please please please can the BBC pick this up and commission at least a couple of seasons?

The best British comedy for years!

Me and my friends and family are obsessed with this show. The monstrous Sue Tuke is a great character - a boss from hell we've all suffered but in the confines of a charity shop. We must have watched this from start to finish over 20 times. Scuse me laydeh!

The acting is better than anything else on TV. I read somewhere that this is the first time for some of the actors which is hard to believe. The creators and directors are LGBTQ+ and they've cmade a character an icon that they should be very proud of. The memes, the viral videos, the series and all the TV series - it's the first online show to make this kind of cultural impact.

I hope Ch4 picks this up or even ITV - anything but BBC as they ruin comedy these days.

Sec*Hand Chance youll never give away or stop watching.

This is one of those love it or hate it cult classics and if you don't like it you can get out of Sues F*cking shop! She wont mess abart.

Yep it British, Northern/Midlands but VERY Nottingham with a cast of gems and written superbly. I wont point out a fave because they are all as amazing.

OF COURSE SUE RULES! She's styled in Paris thankyou laydeh!

There's so many nods to Madonna I'm sure her fans will notice straight away. They fit perfectly. If you need an idea for a shot party, stick on Charity shop sue. You could have a shot for so many things but I don't want to ruin it, you've got to watch it for yourself to learn the winks, fake smiles, going out for a fag, Madonna clothes, the word till.

Yes its makes you cringe, yes you want another series even though its simple its got so much meaning heart and humour (I don't think Covid helped but it had better be coming). Yes you laugh and even cry. Just don't go in the shop with a kid or ever ask for a refund. You'll need therapy. 10/10 During lockdown I wrote down SO many ideas for future episodes it filled up time giggling. I threw them away because they must have so many themselves by now. I cant wait.
