THE CLEANER
SERIES, AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE AND EXCLUSIVE TO BRITBOX
GENRE: COMEDY
A hilarious comedy about a forensic cleaner written by BAFTA award winner Greg Davies (Inbetweeners)
Greg Davies (Inbetweeners, Man Down, Cuckoo) plays 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 crime comedy is based on the multi-award-winning German cult hit Der Tatortreiniger.
Also starring Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club, Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables), Zita Sattar (Casualty) and David Mitchell (Peep Show, Ambassadors).
Coming to BritBox on 7th April 2022.
