Charlie’s absence was unexplained by his stand-in Roger or by his usual co-host Naga. His disappearance follows recent financial troubles due to a bankruptcy threat.
The issue arose from an unpaid tax bill. Charlie, aged 61, and his wife Anne, aged 58, are required to settle a debt that has reached into the thousands.
