Charles Paris: Situation Tragedy

Charles Paris: Situation Tragedy

A BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisation

Summary

Bill Nighy returns as the loveably louche actor and amateur detective Charles Paris

Charles has got a part in a new sitcom. It's been a while since he's done comedy and the world has changed enormously; it's now all single camera and darker subject matters. Maurice is thrilled to see Charles getting in with the cool gang rather than clock-watchers counting their pension pots. Charles counts his lines, hears the offer and says yes please! He's also relieved to have an excuse not to model for Frances, who has taken up painting.

Of course, wherever Charles goes the Grim Reaper isn't far behind. Will Charles find out the truth before there's another death? Who will be the next victim? Could it be Charles himself?
