Bill Nighy stars as Charles Paris. Charles lands a role on a sitcom where the cast and crew fall victim to a series of violent accidents.

Bill Nighy returns as the loveably louche actor-cum-amateur sleuth, Charles Paris.
When Charles lands a role in a grimly unfunny sitcom the cast and crew begin to die in a series of grisly accidents and the situation comedy turns into a situation tragedy.
As the 'pound shop' Poirot goes on the hunt for the perpetrator, Frances (his semi-detached wife), and Maurice (his worse than useless agent), are furious. Maurice is also living with them following a skiing collision with George Clooney. Tensions were already running high in this unlikely m茅nage 脿 trois and become even higher when Charles starts looking for clues from a cast of showbiz suspects.
