In the BBC Radio 4 adaptation by Jeremy Front of Simon Brett's comic murder mystery, Bill Nighy stars as the character Charles Paris. Charles is portrayed as a struggling actor with a penchant for alcohol and a knack for getting involved in mysteries. While working on a corporate video as a fork lift operator, a murder occurs using the forklift, and Charles becomes a suspect. Determined to clear his name, he steps into the role of an amateur detective to find the real murderer. Amidst this, he also faces personal issues, such as domestic challenges while staying on a friend's houseboat after causing damage to his ex-wife’s house. The blend of mystery and Charles' fraught personal life brings a humorous yet suspenseful edge to the drama, with performances from Suzanne Burden, Tim McInnery, and Jon Glover enhancing the storytelling.
