A Charles Paris Mystery –
Sicken And So Die Ep 1/4
Wednesday 30 August
11.30am-12.00noon BBC RADIO 4
Bill Nighy stars as louche lush Charles Paris (Bill Nighy) returns as alcoholic actor-cum-amateur sleuth Charles Paris, from the series of hit novels by Simon Brett.
As ever, Charles is his own worst enemy, a louche lush who can resist anything except temptation – especially in the form of women and alcohol. His intentions may be good but somehow the results always go wrong. There is no question that Charles Paris is flawed; he has a drink problem and is incapable of sustaining his marriage to the long-suffering Frances.
Charles Paris is an actor. He would say he was unlucky in his choice of agents, but he has at least succeeded in landing himself the role of Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night. But when the cast and crew begin suffering from gastric poisoning, and then one of them dies on stage, he is convinced there is a murderer amongst the company.
To make things worse his flat has exploded – a gas leak and a lit cigarette not being the best of partners. Still, this does at least mean he is temporarily lodging with Frances and hoping as ever to wheedle his way back into her affections – but it seems he has a rival for her heart, a young Canadian professor called Scott. So on top of finding a poisoner and coping with the radical reworking of Shakespeare that the young Romanian director is imposing, Charles must now find a way to compete for Frances's attention.
Bill Nighy stars as Charles Paris, with Suzanne Burden as Frances, Jon Glover as Maurice,

I can't believe that I'll miss the first episode due to a hospital appointment!!!!
" A few very charming ladies down at my Dad's whist drive have been very kind (average age 75-93). My brother is the headmaster of a special school and I know some of his dinner ladies have been very kind to me as well. "
