Whodunnits A Charles Paris Mystery - A Deadly Habit
Episode 1 of 4

4 Extra Debut. Charles reluctantly takes a theatre job playing a monk, and a murder inevitably follows. Stars Bill Nighy.

When Charles is offered a job in a verbatim theatre piece set in a monastery, he isn't very enthusiastic.

Before too long disaster strikes the production - and Charles once again is on the trail of a murderer.

Bill Nighy stars as actor-cum-sleuth, Charles Paris.
