Charles is the voice of ‘nature’ in a Winter Olympics Games trail

 to promote the BBC’s extensive coverage of Sochi 2014. Dance, in his role as ‘nature’, speaks a foreboding verse to set a challenge to the Winter Olympic athletes to overcome its extreme elements. The trail also sets the basis for the opening credits of all BBC’s Winter Olympics television coverage. The trail will debut at 8.30pm on BBC One and BBC One HD ahead of the series finale of Sherlock on the 12 January.

I am the dreadful menace.
The one whose will is done.
The haunting chill upon your neck.
I am the conundrum.

I will summon armies.
Of wind and rain and snow.
I made the black cloud overhead.
The ice, like glass below.

Not you, nor any other.
Can fathom what is nigh.
I will tell you when to jump.
And I’ll dictate how high.

The ones that came before you.
Stood strong and tall and brave.
But I stole their dreams away.
Those dreams could not be saved.

But now you stand before me.
Devoid of all dismay.
Could it be? Just maybe.
I’ll let you have your day.
