A Charles Paris Mystery in a BBC Radio 4 Thriller #teaser

Now Available on this Rumble and YouTube channels. 👇
The spotlight is literally lethal in Simon Brett’s razor-sharp theatre whodunnit A Series of Murders, brought to life by the velvet-voiced Bill Nighy as everyone’s favourite washed-up, whisky-soaked actor-detective, Charles Paris.Charles only wanted a steady gig playing the corpse in a West End production of a creaky old murder mystery. Unfortunately, someone keeps turning the fake killings into real ones, starting with the leading lady’s very permanent demise right on cue. As understudies drop, alibis unravel, and the body count climbs faster than the ticket prices, Charles realises the killer is following the script… and the next victim is already written in.Bill Nighy is on peak sardonic form, backed by a delicious full BBC Radio 4 cast (Suzanne Burden, Geraldine McEwan, and a roll-call of British theatre royalty). I’ve paired the pristine original broadcast with my own custom visuals: shadowy stage silhouettes, blood-red curtains, flickering footlights, vintage playbills, and perfectly timed character portraits that appear exactly when the script demands it. It’s the classic radio drama you love, now with an extra layer of eye-candy for anyone who’s ever wanted to see Charles stagger through a rehearsal clutching a large Scotch.One of the cleverest, funniest, and most fiendishly plotted Charles Paris adventures ever recorded.
Clocking in at a perfect 87 minutes – pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and let the curtain rise on murder.
