It stars Davies as Paul “Wicky” Wickstead who, every week, encounters some scene of unspeakable bloody horror and, while going about the grim business of getting the stains out of the curtains and off the ceiling, he bumps into friends, relatives and associates of the deceased. There’s a very strange scene in which Sheila makes Wicky stay with her in the loo, and, believe you me, you can almost smell the tension.
