Sounds interesting. Is it on sensible TV?

Helena Bonham Carter? I'll be watching.

All I know is it's a BBC sitcom - no channel yet..........................I think.

Yes. Real television. Your actual BBC One.

Watched the first episode tonight of the 2nd series, which I quite enjoyed in a "Inside No. 9" sort of way, because I still see little humour in it.

Yeah, I saw the first episode of the 2nd series too, and it was quite good. Not a laugh riot, but a couple of mildly amusing moments, mainly involving the barman.

I found the first series a bit hit and miss, I think the episode with David Mitchell as the guest star was my favourite.

Looks like there's two threads about The Cleaner. The other thread is 3 pages long, (and we both posted in it a while back!) so it might be the better thread to continue with? https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/36388/3/

Except that mine was first, being started 7 months earlier, and I've no idea why I posted on the other one when I had started this one. 😲

Also, Aaron usually locks the second "interloper" 😁

Nah..........that's it, the link on my digi-box has been deleted, as this is just leaving me as cold as the bodies.

Sort of drama OK, but comedy? I don't think so. Greg should stick to Taskmaster, which he chairs so well.

The final episode of Series 2 contained a real nugget of gold in Roisin Conaty's killer. Genuinely brilliant performance IMO. Played delightfully unhinged, yet just close enough to reality to pass undetected in other circumstances. Awards, please.
