About this Event

Ben Giles has spent thirty years cleaning what most people can't bear to imagine and in The Specialist Ben sheds a light on one of Britain's most hidden professions.
The Specialist takes you behind the scenes of murders, Industrial biohazzard and tragic accidents — revealing not just which chemicals remove bloodstains, and how, but what violence, neglect, and loss actually look like when the rest of us can only look away. It's unflinching, occasionally hilarious, and utterly unforgettable.
'This is a remarkable story about life in a line of work most of us couldn’t countenance. Macabre at times, for sure, but also profoundly moving.' Adrian Chiles
