Cleaning Up - Season 1
This dramatic story tells about a woman who is addicted to gambling in an exceptional way. The series began with a woman named Sam, a woman trying to keep her life, but rising debt forced Sam to work for one hour on minimum wage as a cleaner in Canary Wharf, making Sam's life thrown into chaos. Perhaps in the end, when you discover access to lucrative and illegal stock market information in the office that is cleaning, everything has changed for the better.

It's an entertaining concept, but much of it was laughably unlikely.

Sheridan played Sam the cleaner with a saucy twinkle.

This is completely preposterous, of course, but the series also comes with a stickily sentimental, lightly Dickensian atmosphere that might be just right for this time of year.

Smith exhibits the skill that has made her one of this country's favourite actresses, but it is yet another case of how she continues to be typecast in working-class roles.

Cleaning Up groans under the weight of contrivances, but what will make viewers return next week, despite the plot being as daft as a loo brush, is Smith.

You can't help rooting for them in the absurd scene where Sam balances on a desk to plants a microphone in the ceiling of the insider dealer's office and cheering as their 50 investment blooms into 500.

After this first episode the temptation for another flutter may be hard to resist.
