Oscar winner Gary Oldman’s slovenly Jackson Lamb runs Slough House, where bickering loser agents compete to redeem their trashed reputations.

His character, a slovenly, flatulent insult hurler leading a team of failed operatives, is, of course, more complex than that.

His personality is corrosive and his appearance both slovenly and increasingly disheveled.

Last year's Oxford word of the year was "goblin mode", another slang term describing "unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy" behaviour.

On Nov. 29, the third season of the TV adaptation of his “Slow Horses” books, starring Gary Oldman as the slovenly Jackson Lamb, will begin airing on Apple TV+.
