About this listen

Bill Nighy stars as Charles Paris with Martine McCutcheon as Jodie Ricks in this BBC Radio 4 comedy detective drama.

Charles finds himself uncharacteristically employed in a film, having landed the part of Szabec, a middle management vampire in 'The Wreathing'. His co-star is swimwear model turned actress Jodie Ricks and before long, Jodie is using Charles as a confidant.

Poor Jodie is in terrible trouble - not only is she being blackmailed over some compromising photos, but she is also carrying the baby of the film's producer, Elliot Roth, who now wants nothing to do with her. Then things take an even nastier turn when it appears that someone is trying to kill Jodie. Always keen to help a damsel in distress, Charles sets about trying to solve the mystery....

Starring Bill Nighy and Martine McCutcheon and dramatized by Jeremy Front.

Written by Jeremy Front, based on the novel by Simon Brett.

Loved listening to a play rather then a book. Didn't really know where it was going at first as I've never heard anything from this author but glad I kept going with it. very short but well written and acted. Have downloaded another one as it was very addictive.

funny, interesting and well acted

Charles Paris as played by Bill Nighy is having a tricky time. Delighted to be in work, he is stuggling to be inspired by the plot of the film (or his fellow 'actors'). However before long he is caught up in the tangled love life of his co-star Jodie (played by Martine McCutcheon) as well as the tangled love life of his daughter. A great cast and an equally good script (a modern update by Jeremy Front turns Simon Brett's enjoyable novel into an enjoyable radio drama) combine to make a really entertaining listen - undemanding but funny and engaging. I really enjoyed this.

Very entertaining

Brilliant dramatisation! A couple of hours of Charles Paris is good for the soul. The cast deliver a first class performance, overall a great listen.

A delight!
