The series comprises ten one hour programmes which take the form a of a fly-on-the-wall documentary following Neal Smither and his operatives from Crime Scene Cleaners, inc. as they go about their work in the San Francisco bay area of the USA. Neal’s fleet of vans bear the simple legend 'Homicide, Suicide & Accidental Death' and that's exactly what the team clean up.

The series, a self-financed co-production with US based Steel Spyda has already been acquired by Virgin One for the UK and discussions are under way with a number of interested US networks. Under the terms of the 'first look' agreement signed with Digital Rights Group ('DRG') earlier this month, ID Distribution, will be responsible for the International distribution of this programme.

The project is being co-produced by Talent's Director of Entertainment, Jonathan Glazier, and Kay Hill, managing director of Steel Spyda, a specialist producer. Steel Spyda will also be responsible for gathering the footage.

Steel Spyda is a specialist Ob Doc and factual producer, with offices in the UK and Florida, USA. SSP produces a wide range of factual programming including numerous singles for the highly successful 'megastructures' strand, wildlife series and specials, high end science and history, for broadcasters including National Geographic Channels, BBC, FIVE and Animal Planet.

Kay Hill says “Although a potentially gruesome topic, Neal Smither's personality gives the series its light touch and his sound bites will give us the stories viewers will want to share with friends.”.

Tony Humphreys, Managing Director of Talent Television says: “How Clean is Your Crime Scene ? is the true story of a fascinating leading character who is building a business on something the rest of us would rather not think about let alone have to clean up on a daily basis! We are confident that the programme will be well received by audiences in the UK and internationally”.
