Here we have a strong dramatic story about Sam, a woman whose husband has suddenly separated from her, which may be very difficult. Sam has decided to hold one-hour work on the minimum wage as a cleaner in Canary Wharf to pay back her debts as she tries to return to normal. While working in that office as a cleaner, you discover access to lucrative and illegal stock market information in the office you clean, which may completely change the course of events.
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.
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.
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.
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.
