History Recap / TheCleanerUKCSACleanChristmas

* AwfulWeddedLife: The fate of Wicky's sister, who (from what we see) dislikes both her husband and her son, who she openly refers to as "the parasite". She later admits to Wicky that he got it right by never getting married.

* BatterUp: Alberto (the ice-cream parlour's owner) was killed with a blow to the head. Wicky's first thought is that the murderer used a plank, although he suggests that it might have been a cricket bat after Robert Kendrick points out that a plank would be a somewhat impractical murder weapon.

* SympatheticAdulterer: Discussed. Alberto was apparently murdered by his lover's husband; Robert wonders whether the lover had an affair with him because he was a NiceGuy compared to her husband, meaning she would this trope.

* GenerationalTrauma: Some of Wicky's issues are shown to be the result of being raised by a lousy father.

* NoNameGiven: We never learn Wicky's sister's name, as he only addresses her as "Sis" and his father refers to her as "your sister".
* ShownTheirWork: This episode was first broadcast in 2022; Wicky's reference to the King's speech is therefore accurate as Charles III, who had succeeded to the throne that year following the death of Elizabeth II, did the traditional Christmas message for the first time. Robert states that it's Sunday, which is accurate as Christmas Day did indeed fall on a Sunday in 2022.

* AmbiguousSituation: Although Wicky and his father have apparently not spoken to each other for some time (a situation that is likely to continue after what happens when they actually do interact in this episode), dialogue would seem to indicate that they are regulars in the same pub, given that Wicky’s father says he’s got a ticket for the horse raffle.
