(Sheridan
Smith)
Cleaning up can be seen on January 22, at
20h00, on ITV Choice (DStv 123)
Moving, funny and surprising, this
characterful drama stars BAFTA winner Sheridan Smith as an ordinary
working-class mum caught between two contrasting worlds – the everyday grind of
suburban life and the high-risk game of insider trading.
Office cleaner Sam is one of an invisible
army who works every night in the gleaming buildings of London’s financial
centre. She dreams of a better life, but struggling with an online gambling
addiction and spiralling debts, Sam is going under. Until one night, hidden in
plain sight, she overhears an illegal trade being made. This lucrative stock
market information, if used correctly, could be the break she desperately
needs. Armed with a copy of Trading for
Dummies and her gambler’s nerve, Sam has everything and nothing to lose.
But how far is she willing to go to turn her fortunes around?
