Who’s in the cast of The Cleaner on BBC One?
INBETWEENERS alum Greg Davies is writing and starring in a new six part comedy show for BBC One centering on 'Wicky', a state-certified cleaning technician tasked with the pretty grim job of cleaning up crime scenes.
Davies has enlisted a star-studded cast of British comedians and actors to join him on the show, which is inspired by German comedy Crime Scene Cleaner. Here's a full list of the cast...
Greg Davies as 'Wicky'
Funnyman Greg Davies steps into the lead role as 'Wicky', a crime scene cleaner who finds himself faced with all manner of gruesome scenes and eccentric characters whilst out on the job.
Greg Davies was a teacher for 13 years before embarking on a comedy career.
He got his big break in 2008 playing Mr Gilbert, a not-so-friendly head teacher, in E4 Comedy The Inbetweeners.
Helena Bonham Carter as Sheila
The Crown star Helena Bonham Carter revealed that she'll be taking on the role of Sheila, who she described as "one of the eclectic and sometimes murderous mix of characters that 'Wicky' comes across during his gruesome but necessary work."
The Oscar-nominated Actress spent much of her early career in period dramas before becoming a Hollywood mainstay after nabbing roles in Fight Club, Harry Potter, Alice In Wonderland and more.
David Mitchell
David Mitchell appears as a frustrated author - but his character's name is as yet unknown.
