The Cleaner [DVD] [2021]

It’s the cops’ job to clean up the city, but it’s Wicky’s job to clean up the crime scenes. BAFTA-winner Greg Davies writes and stars in this truly arresting comedy for BBC One. Armed with chemicals, scrubbing brushes and cleaning rags, Wicky removes the gruesome mess at the scene of the crime. When carrying out his duties, he stumbles across the strangest of people, from the victim’s relatives, employers, neighbours and acquaintances to occasionally even the murderers themselves. And because he’s a sociable type, he sometimes gossips more than he cleans… Written by and starring Greg Davies (Taskmaster, Cuckoo, The Inbetweeners). Based on Der Tatortreiniger. Created by Mizzi Meyer. Guest starring Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown), David Mitchell (Upstart Crow), Ruth Madeley (Years And Years), Stephanie Cole (Still Open All Hours), Layton Williams (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie the musical) and Jo Hartley (This is England).
