They say there's someone for everyone, has cleaner Shiv found true love? Stars Julie Hesmondhalgh and John Thompson. From 2015.

They say there's someone for everyone, has Shiv found true love?

Every night, as time is called and people are spat out onto the streets and squeezed into rides home to dream -tossed beds - others are hard at work. 

Teams of cleaners are in office spaces scrubbing, vacuuming and cleaning up. 

And right at the bottom of the food chain we find our gang - Spit n' Polish tackling the floors of a plush tower block in Manchester city centre.

Sitcom written by Ian Kershaw.
