TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Comedy
Co-written by and starring Greg Davies, dark comedy The Cleaner follows Paul ‘Wicky' Wickstead on more of his eventful cleaning jobs.
Armed again with his chemicals, scrubbing brushes and cleaning rags, Wicky removes more gruesome remains at the scenes of new crimes, including in a theatre, an electrical goods store, and a stately home.
It is here he meets some more unusual characters and gets sucked into their worlds as he can't help but gossip as he cleans, all the while trying to get down to the pub...
In the Season 2 premiere, "The Transaction": Wicky faces the ultimate test of self-control: a job in a pub, after he's promised his new girlfriend he'll stay off the booze.
But resisting a pint is the least of his challenges once he meets hard-bitten landlady Lisa and muscle-bound barman Cuddle.
Wicky is there to clean up the devastation left by a lethal brawl, but as a web of romantic and criminal intrigue slowly unravels around him, Wicky realises there's more to this job than just cleaning up blood (and the occasional severed human ear).

Genre: Comedy
A biotech genius tries to bounce back from the depths of grief with help from his son, who works to escape his dad's shadow and save the family business.
Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe, team up in this comedy series.
Ellis Dragon is a universally admired, eccentric, narcissist-adjacent biotech entrepreneur working to make the world a better place.
He's also in emotional free-fall.
His son Jackson Dragon is... none of those things.
Can Jackson save Ellis and his company and salvage their estranged relationship while also doing what may actually be impossible: escaping the shadow of his larger-than-life father?
Ellis is a brilliant, eccentric biotech scientist and entrepreneur but after the death of his wife he's unable to regain his focus.
More grounded and more of an introvert than his father, Jackson has always had trouble living in the huge shadow that Ellis casts.
He reluctantly returns to the family business to try to help his father.
Anna Bennet is the Dragon company's smart, tough and formidable CFO.
Able to go toe-to-toe with Ellis, Anna has been (barely) keeping the company on the rails during her boss' emotional spiral.
Malcolm Drummond is a childhood friend of Jackson's.
He used to be Ellis' assistant but has recently been promoted to project manager.
He adores Ellis; in fact, Malcolm is jealous that Jackson gets to be Ellis' son.
Luna Castillo is a genius biotech engineer who works in one of the labs with her friend and research partner, Ruby.
Shy, awkward, some would say weird, Luna is happy to let her more outgoing partner do the talking for the two of them.
Ruby Rosario is also a biotech genius (let's just stipulate everyone who works here is a friggin' genius).
Ruby is outgoing, accessible, and fun; the opposite of Luna.
Leslie is Ellis's therapist who needs as much help, if not more, as he offers.
