The Cleaner
On BBC One
A workplace comedy that finds humor in the absurdity of crime scene cleanup, balancing dark subject matter with irreverent charm and camaraderie.
After CSI have done their stuff, the cleaner mops up the grisly remains. For Wicky, a bloodbath and the pub is all in a day's work.
