Publisher's Summary

Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere.... An act of kindness sees Richard Mayhew catapulted from his ordinary life into the strange world of London Below. There he meets the Earl of Earl's Court, faces a life-threatening ordeal at the hands of the Black Friars, comes face to face with the Great Beast of London, and encounters an Angel. Called Islington. Accompanied by the mysterious Door and her companions, the Marquis de Carabas and the bodyguard Hunter, Richard embarks on an extraordinary quest to escape from the fiendish assassins Croup and Vandemar and to discover who ordered them to murder her family - all the while trying to get back to his old life in London Above. Adapted for radio by the award-winning Dirk Maggs, this captivating dramatisation features a stellar cast including David Harewood, Sophie Okonedo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Christopher Lee, Anthony Head and David Schofield. Contains over 25 minutes of additional unbroadcast material, including extended scenes, bloopers and outtakes.

It's like watching it live!

I loved every second of this production. What a stunning cast. An adaptation of the original story by Neil Gaiman, but no less spectacular.

Definitely recommended.

I wish this were longer! What a great story! So well done! The casting was brilliant and this makes me wish I had more money to buy more of NG’s works.

Incredible!!

Amazing rendition of one of my favourite books! McAvoy does a great job of Mr. Mayhew and Ms. Dormer as Door was magbificent. The writing did a great job of describing the en irons of London Below without resorting to a narrator.

Absolutely loved every minute of it!

The story, itself, is great, but the performance really makes it shine! I will definitely re-listen!
