Watch The Cleaner Season 3: Preview
In life, only two things are certain: death and taxes. That’s (mostly) good news for Paul “Wicky” Wickstead, whose business is scrubbing blood and viscera out of the furnishings of the recently deceased. Created by and starring Greg Davies, the BBC’s hit dark comedy returns with more grisly crime scenes and an even bigger cast of guest stars. Read below for our guide explaining how to watch The Cleaner Season 3 online and for free on BBC iPlayer now.
The BAFTA-nominated Davies (Cuckoo, Man Down) is a delight as Wicky, the crime scene cleaner who often wonders whether donning a hazmat suit and wading around in human remains was like, the best career move. And while carrying out his macabre duties – corrosive cleaning agents and one finger bin in tow – he gets chatting to a wealth of characters from a variety of backgrounds, and each more bat-shit crazy than the last.
The Cleaner was one of the UK’s most-watched scripted comedies. It’s no wonder. From Davies’ grizzled yet affable demeanor, and the amusing, though admittedly icky, conceit of a man breezily sweeping up body parts, it strikes an entertaining balance between comedy and drama. Plus, it’s a “who’s who” of TV talent. Among this season’s many guest stars are Steve Pemberton (Inside No. 9), Sharon Rooney (My Mad Fat Diary), Ben Willbond (BBC sitcom Ghosts), Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones), and Philippa Dunne (Motherland), all popping up as eccentric oddballs related to the dearly departed.
From death by grand piano, an “epically grumpy” lighthouse keeper off the coast of Ireland, and a Community Centre that turns out to be a viper’s nest of old women with bitter rivalries, Davies’ line of work continues to lead him into some hilarious – and typically outrageous – situations this season.
Catch the all-new season now with the following guide, outlining how to watch The Cleaner Season 3 online with BBC iPlayer and from anywhere with a VPN.

For example, UK citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK-based server and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home.
