4 Extra Debut. Charles reluctantly takes a theatre job playing a monk, and murder inevitably follows. Stars Bill Nighy.

When Charles gets offered a job in a verbatim theatre piece set in a monastery he isn't very enthusiastic but at least it saves him from having to do anymore D.I.Y for Frances.

Before too long disaster strikes the production and Charles once again is on the trail of a murderer.
