DIRTY WORK

Professional crime scene cleaner Wicky (Greg Davies) has made it his job to mop up the horrible aftermath of crimes and accidents. To Wicky, a bloodbath is just an obstacle between him and his next pint. With guest stars aplenty, episode one features Helena Bonham Carter. “Before this job, thanks to my children, I knew Greg as the really tall man on Taskmaster,” says Helena, 55. “But now I know that not only is he genuinely very tall, but he is also a brilliant writer, and as nice as he is funny. And he has a lovely mum.”
