'Transaction' TV Show, Series 1, Episode 1 UK - Jun 2025 Transaction, is a six part British ITV sitcom series created by and starring Jordan Gray and co-starring Nick Frost. After a marketing campaign backfires spectacularly, supermarket boss Simon (Nick Frost) finds himself in hot water with the LGBTQ+ community. To try and prove that he's really inclusive, honest, he hires Liv (Gray), a transgender woman who ticks the diversity box, but not much else. Despite a non-existent work ethic, it's pretty much impossible for Liv to get the sack, encouraging her to wreak havoc on the supermarket night shift.
