Greg Davies’ “The Cleaner” has been a standout in British comedy, and its third season promises to continue the series’ unique blend of humor and morbid fascination. This show, based on the German series “Der Tatortreiniger,” follows Paul “Wicky” Wickstead, a state-certified cleaning technician with a very special job: removing any signs of death from crime scenes.
Armed with chemicals, scrubbing brushes, and cleaning rags, Wicky navigates the gruesome world of crime scenes, often stumbling upon the strangest of people, from victims’ relatives to occasional murderers themselves. Music from the episodes here.
Season 3 brings a fresh line-up of guest stars to the show. Joining Greg Davies as Paul ‘Wicky’ Wickstead are Steve Pemberton from “Inside No 9,” Sharon Rooney from “Barbie,” and Ben Willbond from “Ghosts.” The series also features Chaneil Kular, Derek Griffiths from “Unforgotten,” Gemma Whelan from “Killing Eve,” Harry Peacock from “Toast of London,” Paula Wilcox from “Coronation Street,” Philippa Dunne from “Motherland,” Rebekah Staton from “Doctor Who,” Rosie Cavaliero from “The Power of Parker,” Sheila Reid from “Benidorm,” Sophia Dall’Aglio from “So Awkward,” Vicki Pepperdine from “Getting On,” Viraj Juneja from “Horrible Histories,” and Zita Sattar returning in her role as PS Ruth Edwards.
