Affably absent-minded Earl of Emsworth, preparing his prize-winning pig Empress of Blandings for the Shropshire Agricultural Show, is afraid that rival pig-owner Sir Gregory Parsloe is planning to nobble his precious Empress. Parsloe fears that Emsworth's brother Galahad's memoirs contain scurrilous stories about their younger days in the naughty 1890s - particularly a racy story involving some prawns. He plans to hire private detective Percy Pilbeam to purloin the manuscript.

From an interview about The Witcher....the video game

http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/08/charles-to-voice-in-video-game.html
http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/09/about-charles-and-witcherthe-video-game.html
 

producer of the game, Mikołaj Szwed
9 – Charles Dance will be the Nilfgaardian emperor in the game. How did that come about? What traits did he bring to the game that another actor may not have been able to? Are there many Game of Thrones fans on the team?
When we were doing research on potential candidates to voice Emhyr var Emreis, Mr. Dance was always someone who came to mind. Each group of people that was consulted on the matter somehow ended up saying that we should try to reach out to him. So… we did. And he agreed to lend us his voice. As for the specific traits of his voice, what I personally like is its commanding tone. You hear a sentence and you immediately treat it as an order. This and the beautiful accent make him a splendid Emhyr! As for Game of Thrones, it’s a great show and it has a lot of fans in the studio.

About Charles and The Witcher...the video game

http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/08/charles-to-voice-in-video-game.html

Peter Gelencser , designer about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Could you talk a little about Charles Dance?
[laughs] Yeah, I’m still collecting my jaws from the floor. Because I learned that just like you did. I think I stumbled upon it on some of my colleagues’ Facebook posts, saying we have Charles Dunce. And I’m thinking ‘why’s that familiar?’ … Okay, okay, Game of Thrones and all that. [laughs]

His character in the game isn’t exactly similar to Tywin Lannister.
The actor has a rich voice, vocal character, per se. That’s an inspiration for us and the character is going to be an inspiration for him. And the amalgamation of these two is going to result in something unique yet familiar. We have chosen him for a reason. Personal opinion, of course.

The best review of Shades of love

I've seen it in 2010 and in german... and I'm totally agree with this...ah!ah!ah!ah!
http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/08/on-tv-wilty-offcuts-and-shade-of-love.html
http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2011/12/charles-is-edmund-aird-in-this.html
.......Simmering away in the background are other plots featuring a host of what are, essentially, braying toffs. They include what patriarch Charles Dance insists time and again is a "complicated merger ", though we never see hide nor hair of who or what he’s merging with, nor does he do much more than stand around and look at bits of paper. Still, it’s enough to give him a mild heart attack. Adrian Lukis (on skin-crawlingly slimy form as Dance’s son-in-law) bonks his brittle, nervy wife’s best friend (played by an actress more wooden than the table her character frolics upon); while Laura is admired from afar by an old family friend, who doesn’t appear to be able to do anything other than grin like he’s not quite the full quid.
Shades of Love desperately wants to be epic, elegant TV and no doubt the book upon which it’s based was a belter. But it’s all too silly to be taken even remotely seriously. It ends up being a shabby blend of Downton Abbey and Family Affairs, with some truly horrendous acting from the unknown, younger cast, bolstered by game bits of exposition from the more experienced ones who really ought to have known better..................

WHO’S IN IT?
Charles Dance, Eileen Atkins (for shame, Eileen, for shame), Harriet Walter, Michael Brandon.
WHO SHOULD WATCH IT?
Your absolute worst enemy.
WHO SHOULDN’T WATCH IT?
Please God, not me. Ever again.
http://itsonthetellystupid.wordpress.com/tag/charles-dance/
....None of the actors is trying too hard, and it’s impossible not to notice the swirling orchestra and clichéd script. But it’s no more ridiculous than Downton Abbey, and provides the same opportunity for wallowing.

More about Enemy of man

The movie in question is Enemy of Man, a modernized adaptation of Macbeth that is expected to film in January 2014. Director Vincent Regan has been working on the film for a while, but it was seeing on The Hollywood Reporter that Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has been cast (as Macbeth’s cousin Ross, according to IDMB) that caught my eye.
And then, well, look at the rest of the cast: We have Sean Bean as Macbeth, Game of Thrones‘ Charles Dance as Duncan, and Jason Flemyng (nerd pedigree: Azazel in X-Men: First Class) as Macduff. James D’Arcy (Cloud Atlas) is rumored to be Banquo. And there’s also Rudy from Misfits (Joseph Gilgun) and Harry Potter‘s Fenrir Greyback (Dave Legeno) in the mix. The film’s somewhat bare website lists Charlotte Gainsbourg as Lady Macbeth and Sam Claflin (ohai Finnick!) as Malcolm, though it also has a completely different actor as Macduff, so who knows how to up-to-date it really is.

TORONTO – U.K. banner Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has struck a deal for worldwide distribution rights to Enemy of Man, a reworking of Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth, which boasts Harry Potter star Rupert Grint as part of the cast.
