Airdate: The Cleaner

Britbox screens The Cleaner a new comedy about a forensic cleaner written by Greg Davies (Inbetweeners) who stars as Paul ‘Wicky’ Wickstead, a crime scene cleaner.

When the detectives are done, he moves in, armed with his bleach and scrubbing brushes.

His job brings him into contact with the strangest people: those who knew the victims, and sometimes even the killers themselves.

But because he’s a chatty man, he tends to gossip more than he cleans.

This is based on the German cult hit Der Tatortreiniger (and with apologies to Micallef’s Mr. & Mrs. Murder?).

Also starring Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown, Les Miserables), Zita Sattar (Casualty) and David Mitchell (Peep Show, Ambassadors).
