The actor cum sleuth is back on stage in Hamlet but soon it’s not only Shakespeare’s line being murdered. Stars Bill Nighy.
Charles, bit part actor and amateur sleuth, returns to the stage as the Ghost in Hamlet, but rehearsals are fraught as both Ophelia and Hamlet are being played by reality TV stars.
Soon it's not only Shakespeare's lines that are being murdered. As the body count rises so do Charles suspicions.
Whilst at home his ex-wife Frances fears she may have come to the end of allowing her semi-detached husband to remain as her lodger.
Jeremy Front continues his successful adaptations of Simon Brett's novels starring Bill Nighy .
