Episodes
The Widow
Professional crime scene cleaner Wicky has headed to the suburbs to mop up after a particularly grizzly murder: your classic 'housewife finally snaps' stabbing-based incident.
It's a pretty standard Wednesday for Wicky, who is working with great speed to finish in time to make it to his favourite curry night at the local. If only he would stop being interrupted by people unexpectedly dropping in on the crime scene - including a mysterious, heavily armed woman.
The Writer
Extremely pompous and important author Terence Redford is trying to write his latest masterpiece but is finding it difficult to concentrate: partly because of writer's block, and partly because his grandmother has recently burnt to death in his living room.
Professional crime scene cleaner Wicky arrives to clean up and attempts to give Terrence a sense of perspective.
The Neighbour
Crime-scene cleaner Wicky has brought the wrong key for his next job and finds himself stuck outside the deceased's house, waiting around for a replacement. When he meets the radical vegan who lives next door, the confident carnivore in Wicky might have met his match.
The Aristocrat
Crime scene cleaner Wicky arrives at a stately home to clean up the aftermath of a burglary gone wrong. He meets the aristocratic owner, who is keen to tell him all about her illustrious ancestors, her collection of priceless antiques, and what the world is coming to. When Wicky discovers that there might be more to this case than what meets the eye, he faces a moral dilemma: tell the difficult truth or accept a free Aston Martin – his dream car.
The Influencer
Wicky attends the home of ‘Home Alone Hosea', a 23-year-old social media influencer with millions of followers and an unhealthy obsession with the 1980s. Wicky is amazed to be surrounded by the relics of his childhood, one of which, a dangerously malfunctioning arcade machine, has recently electrocuted a repairman. Wicky does his usual professional job of clearing up the mess, but Hosea is furious: the electrician's gory remains were perfect viral content, and Hosea was planning a livestream from the scene of the accident. As they look for a way out of this cleaned-up mess, their generation gap becomes ever more obvious.
The One
Crime scene cleaner Wicky heads to the country to clean up a nasty mess in a holiday home and finds that the house is owned by his first ‘proper' girlfriend, Maggie. It's a chance to catch up with the one that got away over a nice cup of tea and a bloodstain.

The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
