Bill Nighy is Charles Paris on BBC 4
Bill Nighy is doing a brand new billicious radio play on BBC Radio 4, and will return as alcoholic actor-cum-amateur sleuth Charles Paris, from the series of hit novels by Simon Brett.
Charles is his own worst enemy, a louche lush who can resist anything except temptation – especially in the form of women and alcohol.

(A big thank you to Sandra for the tip !)
Oh, wait wait wait, that’s not all. One of Bill Nighy’s Yorkshire Tea ads is online, drink him here.

I must warn you, we're going to pass through, well, a sort of gateway thing. It may disturb you. It scares the willies out of me.
Bill will read Dracula!
Woo-hoo; I’ll be listening. I am voice-activated and I *love* to hear Bill’s voice in these radio plays. Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome !
I heard it this morning. Another deliciously generous role for our Bill on the radio! I love hearing him as the lead. And he’s brilliant as Charles Paris. A definite “must hear” for Bill fans.
Heard it today (at last!), and he is billicious in it. Love to hear him singing too by the way. And - funky music !
That was a treat indeed! I can’t wait for the second episode, and I now have Small Faces playing on my Ipod…thanks for that, Bill;) His voice should come with a warning label. It sends me into complete tizzies!

Enjoyed this, are there plans for any more?

You are right, Radio 4. Uhm, plans for more, I don\’t really know. BBC7 is once in a while sending older Charles Parish plays though, Bill Nighy is in them too.
