1. New Recruit

A new cleaner reports for duty. Turns out he and his boss have met before.

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.

Written by Ian Kershaw - with a top hole Northern cast.

Funny, sometimes dark comedy about people who always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
