Finally got around to watching The Cleaner, as recommended by @peterwilsoncc last December. Wow! Absolutely brilliant series, essentially short plays mostly of two-person dialogue and very bloody funny (and often very bloody).

Season two has been added now, but NB: season one expires by next weekend so by now it's a binge watch or miss it!

Each episode has a good crack at a different slice of society. Don't miss an episode! And pump up the jam!

The Cleaner

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 returns in this truly arresting comedy.

Watched the new season of "The Cleaner" on the BBC, in which Greg Davies plays a man assigned to clean crime-scenes after an investigation.

It's very silly. Great stuff.

Episode 5 was just mental, with Sharon Rooney playing the multiple-personalities as "the housekeeper" and more.

Reminded me of doing improv, especially when Greg started acting other personas too and she just accepted it and yes-anded to accept that okay, he's the lord of the manor now.

Loving the accents too, especially in E6, finding myself repeating half the lines in Brummy accent. Like being back home.

"Who else 'as facilities in Stowerbrige, Doodlay, an' West Brum?".

A list of the local towns from home. 😆

"Biggest providers in th' Black Coontray".

"People say ter me, why storage? Ah say 'cos every kingdom needs a king! The plains o' Africa got the lion, an' the leadin' storage solution o' Wulver'ampton got Bob Mammot" 🤣

Good stuff, Greg and the BBC do great at this kind of thing.
