full cast
A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Simon Brett's entertaining crime novel, starring Bill Nighy.
Charles Paris has been 'resting' for quite a while, so he's relieved when he is cast as Ghost of Hamlet's Father and First Gravedigger in a touring production of Hamlet. But rehearsals are a little tense - the lead roles of Hamlet and Ophelia are played by a reality TV contestant and TV talent show winner respectively, and their opinions on celebrity and the theatre differ somewhat from those of the more experienced members of the cast.
The show is barely on the road before tragedy strikes - just before opening night, part of the set collapses, seriously injuring one of the actors. Then another member of the cast is found dead. It's up to Charles Paris to turn detective and investigate the mystery, but with almost everyone having a motive for murder, will he ever track down the real killer?
Bill Nighy stars as Charles Paris, with Suzanne Burden as Frances, in this dramatisation by Jeremy Front.
Written by Jeremy Front, based on the novel by Simon Brett.

Would you listen to Charles Paris: A Decent Interval again? Why?
Yes!! Great acting from the entire cast and fantastic production values overall. The stories are just the right mix of drama/mystery and humor.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes. Another clever plot (and you gotta love the acknowledgement that trouble follows Charles wherever he goes).Which character – as performed by Bill Nighy – was your favorite?
You gotta love Charles Paris. Bill Nighy plays the aging alcoholic actor/ladies man turned amateur sleuth just right, in my opinion. He's the poor man's Poirot!!Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions. It's a light mystery with just the right mix of drama and humor.Any additional comments?
I own every episode of this series. I've listened to each episode multiple times (great for background at work). I hope the series continues!!!I love this series!!
