THE CLEANER
BBC1, 9.30pm
Crime scene cleaner
Wicky (Greg Davies, right, who is clearly having a ball here) turns up at the home of 23-year-old social media influencer ‘Home
Alone Hosea’ (Layton Williams).
Hosea has millions of followers and an obsession with the 1980s. Wicky is amazed to be surrounded by the relics of his childhood, one of which, a malfunctioning arcade machine, has recently electrocuted a repairman.
But Hosea can’t understand that Wicky, wearing an Inspiral Carpets T-shirt, is from the actual 80s.
Wicky doesn’t know what TikTok is and certainly doesn’t understand what it means to ‘like and subscribe’.
They come to blows when Wicky cleans up, erasing the perfect viral content for Hosea’s live stream.
Joyful generation gap laughs.
