"Murders in the Title" | A Charles Paris Mystery | BBC Radio 4 |

When Shakespeare meets Sherlock in a blood-soaked mashup, only Charles Paris can keep the plot from going fatally off-script! Dive into Simon Brett's devilishly clever Murders in the Title, where our boozy bard of detection—voiced with wry resignation by the one and only Bill Nighy—gets roped into a BBC TV adaptation of a play that's equal parts Hamlet, Agatha Christie, and high-camp homicide. As the cast rehearses this literary Frankenstein of famous murders, the line between fiction and felony blurs: props turn poisonous, cues cue chaos, and suddenly, everyone's a suspect in a whodunnit that's as meta as it is murderous. Will Charles crack the case before the final reel rolls... or take a bow from the wrong side of the grave?This labor-of-love video marries the pristine BBC Radio 4 audio from their legendary radio theater vaults with my hand-animated visuals and meticulous edits—think shadowy silhouettes stalking foggy sets, flickering title cards dripping with faux blood, and animated suspects popping up like uninvited encores. It's a visual feast that amps up the suspense without stealing the spotlight from Brett's razor-sharp satire and Nighy's pitch-perfect pathos. Perfect for fans of twisty tales where the killer's always hiding in plain sight (or plain verse)!Clocking in at full-episode glory, hit play for a mystery that'll have you quoting clues over cocktails.
