I take this is indicating that you sort of lost interest in long term imprisonment?
Here is a nice little Bill goody for your ears to indulge:
M Radio has a very nice older radio play with Bill Nighy for you to download:
Strangers On A Train By Patricia Highsmith

Something to listen to in these quiet Nighy times
BBC7 sends Enquiry (1989) a radioplay with Bill Nighy
Saturday the 2nd of February from 12:00-13:30, and on Listen Again up until a week after.
As the Times puts it:
“Typical – you wait ages for a Bill Nighy, and then . . . as well as reading from Eric Clapton’s autobiography, the great thesp returns as Simon Brett’s Charles Paris, the failed actor, much more successful amateur detective and Olympic-standard drunken womaniser. He is brilliant at it, so much a [...]
If you are a Bill Nighy fan, your year can’t start any better than with this.
So - make yourself a cup of Yorkshire tea, find a good chair, sit back, and press play, and hugely enjoy 25 minutes with Bill Nighy, talking about his career, theatre and film, acting, being mellow and not the [...]
CBS Early Show : Interview with Julianne Moore.
Great to see Julianne defending Bill Nighy when the interviewer again tries to define Bill as the guy with the Octopus face in Pirates. She does a good job there, he is much more than that.
Nighy is physically curious as he thrusts his hands in his pockets, slinks his lean frame into Ann Roth’s costumes or shuffles around Scott Pask’s verdant set, which Brian MacDevitt illuminates with clever stealth.
New York Press
And more and more rumours and hopes that The Vertical Hour will transfer from Broadway to London.
OK, the real title of this delicious article in the Observer is really Can David Hare take Manhattan?
It’s a mixed article with interviews with Sam Mendes, David Hare and Bill Nighy.
Downstairs, Nighy is holding sardonic court on his new carpet in a dressing room about four times the size of Scott’s. ‘Do you like the [...]
“IMMACULATELY elegant, impeccably mannered and not a little groovy, Bill Nighy is one undeniably cool character.” Nice opening of an article in the New York times, about Bill Nighy and The Vertical Hour.
Here are some highlights:
David Hare about Bill:
“Once you have in him in your sights, it’s hard to forget him.”
“He’s the man who is [...]
Finally some more information about The Vertical Hour, starring Bill Nighy and Julianne Moore, and Andrew Scott. This play, written by David Hare, and directed by Sam Mendes will be performed on Broadway in New York from the end of November.
The Vertical Hour centers on Nadia Blye, a young American war correspondent turned academic [...]
Time to turn your radio on, and tune in on BBC7 the next week, from Monday to Thursday at 13.00. Bill is only in the episode of Monday though (thanks Addy).
From BBC7:
“Now, if you like nothing more than sitting down to your lunch and thinking about death and diseases, then you’re in luck. This week [...]
