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.
Recently Updated Shows
The Answers
Based on Catherine Lacey's novel of the same name, The Answers is set in the near future, where a heartbroken young woman joins an enigmatic experiment that promises to hack love, but after moving into an idyllic, secluded location with her fellow female participants, she and the other women start questioning what's really happening in the experiment, and why they've all been tasked with dating the same mysterious man.
EastEnders
Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too.
Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
Rick and Morty
Rick is a mentally gifted, but sociopathic and alcoholic scientist and a grandfather to Morty; an awkward, impressionable, and somewhat spineless teenage boy. Rick moves into the family home of Morty, where he immediately becomes a bad influence.
Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
Bergerac
Bergerac is based on the original series created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran for nine series on the BBC between 1981 and 1991. The modern re-imagining will honour the iconic detective drama, but with a contemporary twist. Unlike the original hit from the 80s, the new series will see one character-led murder mystery run across all six episodes, in place of a new storyline each episode.
Viewers will meet Jim Bergerac as a broken man, grappling with grief and alcoholism following his wife's recent death. His mother-in-law, Charlie, is concerned Jim isn't putting his daughter Kim first and, when a woman from a wealthy Jersey family is murdered, Jim must fight through his personal struggles to become the formidable investigator he once was.
With a troublesome convict resurfacing from his past, Bergerac is required to call on his sharp investigative instincts and past successes to navigate the intricate family dynamics, and watchful eyes of the police force, in order to solve the case.
