3. Getting Stuck

Julie and Nobby find themselves in a sticky situation.

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.
