1. Oh Yes It Is...
Pantomime is the perfect Christmas job for the actor-cum-sleuth, but slapstick soon becomes an investigation. Stars Bill Nighy.
A job in Panto seems the perfect way to spend the Christmas season for actor Charles Paris.
But the cast of Cinderella are a motley crew from reality TV and Charles finds himself having to explain the traditions of Panto to their baffled American star whose career is on a downward trajectory.
It's not long before the slapstick makes way for a murder investigation.
As always, Charles can't help doing some sleuthing of his own...
