THE CLEANER: GREG DAVIES COMEDY RETURNS FOR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

It’s Christmas Day and Wicky is looking forward to winning Weasel’s Christmas raffle: first prize, an actual horse.

All that stands in his way is a blood-soaked crime scene in an ice cream parlour, and a regular customer who isn’t going to let a little thing like a murder stop him from getting the perfect peach melba ice-cream.

The UK’s favourite crime scene cleaner is back. Series 2 of The Cleaner sees Wicky (Greg Davies) encounter yet another variety of larger than life characters, all in the wrong place at the wrong time. And as his luck will have it, there’s also a pub in desperate need of mopping up.

Greg Davies says: "It was such a pleasure bringing Wicky and his gory career to life and I’m beyond thrilled we get to do it again. So thrilled that I intend not to mention how sweaty that hazmat suit gets under lighting. Put it like this, we had to burn it. Anyway, I’m still excited, thanks BBC.”

Series 2 is written by Greg Davies and one other co-writer per episode made up of a combination of established and emerging comedy talents - Paul Allen, Ronan Blaney, Barry Castagnola, Meg Salter and Mike Wozniak.

Vivien Muller Rommel says: “We’re absolutely delighted to be back for a second series of the Cleaner, and the Christmas Special is going to be bloody marvellous, I promise”.

The Cleaner Christmas Special is a Studio Hamburg UK (1 x 30) for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
