Possibly my favourite #CharlesParis series is on #BBCRadio4Extra at the moment - The Cinderella Killer.
If you like a reference to #Shakespeare and his contemporaries you'll enjoy this snippet where Charles' agent tells him he's been offered a part in a verse drama 📻🎭

I love #CharlesParis but before his arrival on #BBCRadio4 there was George Cragge.

Vince as Ozzy Osbourne is fun #TheArchers #CharlesParis

A pity neither James Curtis nor Jeremy Front are on here so that they can thank the indefatigable #playlisting work of @ewzername.bsky.social. However, old rock farts of a certain bent will relish this #CharlesParis #playlist that he found. Thanks Séamus!

Okay, I just finished #CharlesParis Situation Tragedy. I think it may be the best one yet. Charles, Frances, and Maurice do it again - and I hope they keep doing it. #BBCRadio4 #BBCSounds Next stop A Comedian Dies, then Dead Giveaway, then What Bloody Man Is That please.

Loving listening to #CharlesParis marvelling at the wonders of cosy crime stories. #BBCRadio4

The lovely Bill Nighy aka Charles Paris brings art to life with his sexy furniture advert voiceover. #CharlesParis lovers will know what I mean.

So kind of #BBCSounds to feature a new #CharlesParis series, but also so cruel to only post one episode right now! How’s a girl meant to tackle a really big pile of ironing!? 😂

Who’s he playing? Love #CharlesParis

Oh joy! A new #charlesparis series on @bbcsounds.bsky.social I love this show. I must try not to listen to it all at once. #billnighy

Great to see #CharlesParis is back on Radio 4, Monday at 14.15. Love Bill Nighy in these.

Currently listening to my favorite Charles Paris Mystery, "Sicken and So Die" while working. I love them all, but this one is by far my favorite. The ending gets me every time.
