Charles Paris: A Second BBC Radio Collection

Bill Nighy returns as the charmingly flawed actor Charles Paris in five BBC Radio dramatisations, where he navigates a blend of personal crises and thrilling mysteries. As he juggles attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife and secure acting gigs, Charles inadvertently becomes entangled in a series of murders and dark schemes that challenge his detective skills more than his performance on stage. From a troubled play with a dangerous cast to a crime reconstruction gone awry, each story showcases his misadventures in the world of theatre and crime. Adapted from Simon Brett's novels, these captivating tales combine wit, suspense, and Nighy's engaging portrayal of the beleaguered yet determined Paris.
