Private Notes
Ann and Adam Massingham's farm is a happy, busy affair: a tumbledown country retreat in which chickens roam, geese loiter and a goat called Charity struts around the outhouse like an Edwardian duchess. Unfortunately, that's where the fairy tale ends. For although the Massinghams' farm is a delightful agrarian idyll, their house is an absolute ruddy disgrace. There's hay in the bedroom, fungus on the windowsills and some sort of dungbased growth on the kitchen floor. Naturally, Kim and Aggie are appalled. "I'm appalled!" honks Aggie, scowling at a mug with black stuff in it. "Dirty beggars!" agrees Kim, as she extracts a cobweb the size of Kent from the sofa. It's a delightfully warm-hearted start to the domestic taskmistresses' latest series. With stentorian disapproval swiftly supplanted by cheery encouragement, the results are so dazzling that even Charity seems stirred.
Kim and Aggie catch up with pensioner Pat Crothers. When they first met Pat, a series of bereavements had left her devastated and the more she hoarded the harder it became to clean. When the Cleaning Queens left, Pat needed to change the habits of a lifetime if she was to stay on top of things. Now she's asked Kim and Aggie for some more cleaning advice. Is this a sign that she's embraced a new way of life?
Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie help single mum Nooska Mullins, who juggles nightshifts as a carer with teacher-training at the expense of her housework, much to the disgust of her clean-freak son Connor.
Kim and Aggie tackle professional dog walker James Grieve, whose London flat is in line for some serious elbow grease.
Painter Jacqueline Jones may well live for her art, but sadly her house suffers for it, with a cat who exhibits her own poo-based creations. Can Kim and Aggie reform both filth offenders?
Donna and David Burton adore family life, and with little Sian in the house no one can blame them, but their home is suffering badly. With baby number two just weeks away, Kim and Aggie have a tight deadline to teach these parents their ABC of good cleaning.
Meryl Gaskin hasn't been able to get into her lounge for two years because she filled her empty nest with junk. Kim and Aggie love a challenge, but is this empty nest going to send them cuckoo?
Queens of Clean Kim and Aggie visit Glynis Horton and her teenage son Aaron in their grubby Peterborough flat.
Carys Hughes spends all day cleaning at work, which perhaps explains why her own house is so filthy.
Horse-mad Margaret and James Holland tighten the reins on their jam-packed home, which has become so cluttered that it's now an obstacle course for James, who's blind. Kim and Aggie are chomping at the bit to teach them both to be as house-proud as they are horse-proud.
Michelle Jay lives in a maisonette in Kennington, south London, and spends her evenings singing karaoke in bars. Her musty maisonette is by no means glamorous, with dust and dirt lining every surface. Can Kim and Aggie convince the singing sensation that she must take responsibility for her living conditions?
The Phrew family love amateur dramatics so much they've turned their terraced house into a horror set. Dad Frank has been battling alone against the chaos but, finally, now mum Carolyn wants a fresh life with a fresher home too. Can Kim and Aggie get them to learn a new script?
