Charles will be at the 70th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day

The Queen and members of The Royal Family will attend a series of events on Saturday 15 August ....

The event at Horse Guards will begin in spectacular style with a flypast of four historic aircraft, a Spitfire....The event will also include a drumhead service and wreath-laying ceremony, special readings, and hymns sung by the Gwalia Male Voice Choir and the London Welsh Male Voice Choir.

A highlight of the event will be famed actor Charles Dance reading the poem ‘The Road to Mandalay’ by Rudyard Kipling. The poem was famously set to music and was a favourite marching tune for many in the 14th Army in Burma, commanded by Field Marshal Lord Slim during the campaign.

Speaking of his role at the event, Charles Dance said:
It is an absolute honour to be involved in the national commemorative events for the 70th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day. I would encourage everyone to attend the parade on Whitehall to show their gratitude to this extraordinary generation of individuals.
When the Second World War ended in Europe in May 1945 British and Commonwealth military personnel and civilians in the Far East were still at war, still on the frontline and still in prisoner of war camps. VJ Day 70 on 15 August presents an opportunity for us to publicly recognise the sacrifices of the veterans, internees and their descendants, and the conditions they endured during the dark years of the Second World War.

Charles is Karellen

"Karellen, an alien calling himself an "Overlord," arrives on Earth and promises humanity a bold new world, one free of disease, poverty, crime and war. Is this veritable utopia to be trusted – especially when Karellen refuses to reveal himself to the world"
http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2015/04/teaser-for-syfys-childhoods-end.html

Childhood’s End follows the peaceful invasion of Earth by the alien Overlords, who promise to eliminate poverty, war and sickness – ushering in a golden age of peace, health and security for all of humankind. But why do the Overlords insist on hiding their appearance – and what do they ultimately want from Earth? While much of the world enjoys its newfound utopia, some suspect there’s a price to pay. As the truth about the Overlords’ intentions are revealed, humanity will discover its actual destiny may actually be a nightmare, instead of a dream.

Charles in the cast of And Then There Were None

"Producers say this is the first time the book has been adapted into a British TV series. The drama is expected to be a centrepiece of the broadcaster’s Christmas schedule this year.

Turner will be part of an illustrious cast that includes Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Anna Maxwell Martin and Toby Stephens.

The three-part series for the BBC ... And Then There Were None would be darker than Christie stalwarts Poirot and Marple and was more like a thriller.....

The story is set in 1939 and sees 10 strangers invited to the isolated Soldier Island, near the Devon coast, by mysterious hosts Mr and Mrs UN Owen, who are absent when they arrive. Each of the guests is accused of a “terrible crime”. After one of them dies, the group realise there may be a murderer among them.

Turner will play Philip Lombard, a mercenary soldier with a murky past who is short on money. . Dance will appear as Justice Lawrence Wargrave, Neill as General John Macarthur and Maxwell Martin as Ethel Rogers....

The drama is expected to be a centrepiece of the broadcaster’s Christmas schedule this year."
