Review: The Cleaner

In Man Down, he created one of the most stupidly funny - and underrated - sitcoms of recent times. But Greg Davies new BBC One project, The Cleaner, is - ironically enough - a messier mix of laughs and drama.

Greg Davies: Political correctness hasn't ruined comedy

Speaking during a recent Q&A, the Taskmaster star was questioned if political correctness has killed comedy. The comic wasn't so sure as he replied: "No, I don't think so. It depends. This is a debate we can have. It depends very much on your definition of political correctness, doesn't it? But my feeling is, my interpretation of political correctness is just avoiding saying things that are clearly awful."
