Guest stars appearing alongside Greg Davies in the second series of his crime scene cleaner sitcom The Cleaner have been revealed.

Co-written by and starring Davies as specialist cleaner Paul 'Wicky' Wickstead, the series will return for a further six episodes later in the spring.

The BBC tease: "Armed again with his chemicals, scrubbing brushes and cleaning rags, Wicky removes more gruesome remains at the scenes of new crimes, including in a theatre, an electrical goods store, and a stately home. It is here he meets some more unusual characters and gets sucked into their worlds as he can't help but gossip as he cleans, all the while trying to get down to the pub."

Based on a long-running, award-winning German series, the guest stars for Series 2 are: Zoë Wanamaker, Asim Chaudhry, Harriet Walter, Simon Callow, John MacMillan, Alex Lawther, Susannah Fielding, Roisin Conaty, Mark Lewis Jones, Rudi Dharmalingam, Joshua McCord, Louis Emerick, Amy Morgan, Charlie Rawes, Jemma Carlton, Shakin' Stevens, Rebecca Lee and Cassius Thompson.

Zita Sattar will also returning in her semi-regular role of PC Ruth Edwards.

Greg Davies says: "I'm so thrilled that Wicky is back for another round of clean ups and delighted that he is doing so on BBC One. The cast for this series are brilliant and that there are so many distinguished actors amongst them leads me to believe that The BBC have secrets that they are using as leverage. Me, the writing and production teams are very grateful for this support."

Ben Caudell, Commissioning Editor for BBC says: "It's fantastic to see such a compelling line-up of guest stars in this new second series of The Cleaner, each creating a unique comic character to lock horns and spar with Greg as Wicky. Every episode is a terrific TV treat."

Vivien Muller-Rommel, executive producer for SHUK, says: "We're delighted that our beloved Wicky is back for a Series 2, together with an ensemble of guest stars that we still can't quite believe said yes to watching Greg scrub blood off the floor. Hold onto your mops, everyone."

The Cleaner Series 2 is co-written by Paul Allen, Barry Castagnola, Meg Salter and Mike Wozniak.

The Cleaner

The Cleaner

It's the cops' job to clean up the city, but it's Wicky's job to clean up the crime scenes. BAFTA-winner Greg Davies writes and stars in this truly arresting comedy for BBC One.

Armed with chemicals, scrubbing brushes and cleaning rags, Wicky removes the gruesome mess at the scene of the crime. When carrying out his duties, he stumbles across the strangest of people, from the victim's relatives, employers, neighbours and acquaintances to occasionally even the murderers themselves. And because he's a sociable type, he sometimes gossips more than he cleans...
