"Tripper's Day" was a UK television sitcom produced by Thames Television for ITV. The plot involved Leonard Rossiter as Norman Tripper, a Northern manager assigned to a London supermarket with a problemmatic staff. The programme is largely remembered for the negative critical reviews it received, and mainly for the fact that it was Rossiter's final work, the actor dying between the broadcast of the second and third episodes.

The series was brought back two years later with Bruce Forsyth in the lead role, under the new title "Slinger's Day". In Canada and United States the series have a remake under the title "Check it Out!" (1985-1988), whilst in Sweden, comical duo Stefan & Krister did a TV-series largely based on Tripper's Day, as well as Check it out.
