BBC One - The Cleaner, Series 1, The Writer

Novelist Terence has two problems: his gran has passed away, and he has writer’s block.

Novelist Terence has two problems: his gran recently passed away, and he has writer’s block. Wicky thinks these issues might be related.

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 burned to death in his living room. 

Professional crime-scene cleaner Wicky arrives to clean up and attempts to give Terrence a sense of perspective.
