Charles Paris, a talented actor, finds himself in a peculiar situation when he takes over a last-minute role at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Filling in for a student actress who has dropped out due to a broken leg, Charles embarks on a one-man show amidst a sea of stand-up comedians. However, his gamble pays off when he uncovers a murderous plot amidst the student actors.

As Charles delves deeper into the investigation, he realizes that he is in over his head, but his determination and wit propel him forward. With the help of his agent, Maurice, and his semi-detached wife, Frances, who inadvertently becomes his director, the trio becomes embroiled in the mystery.

Despite their lack of experience as detectives, Charles, Frances, and Maurice refuse to give up. They navigate through a web of lies, deceit, and unexpected twists, using their unique skills and perspectives to unravel the truth.

Jeremy Front's witty drama, adapted from Simon Brett's novel, stars Bill Nighy as Charles Paris, with Suzanne Burden as Frances and Jon Glover as Maurice. The cast also includes Roger Ringrose, Natasha K Stone, Connor Curren, Laura Chloe Sommer, Angus/Sam Tom Kiteley, Tessa Joanna Monro, Eilish Catriona Stirling, and Sophie Fiona Skinner.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 from the 9th to the 30th of June 2023, "Charles Paris" is a captivating and suspenseful tale that showcases Bill Nighy's exceptional talent and the ensemble's remarkable performances.
