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.

Fantastic audio book of one of my favourite Neil Gaiman ...

Reviewed in Australia on 28 May 2018

Fantastic audio book of one of my favourite Neil Gaiman books. The only thing I would change is using Patterson Joseph as the original and BEST Marquis de Carabas. He would also make a perfect Dr Who!

Neverwhere

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2014

I got this dramatisation along with my sanitiser to make the order over £10, this meant I could have a product instead of using money for postage !! I was toying between 2 audios this one was fantasial (I think you have to be that way inclined -:) the other was a comedy. I wondered if i might have been better with the comedy this is ok if you know the author i took a risk it was alright as a dramatisation but if narrated I think I would have found a child or something I might still yet. Cast wise and effort for a programme recorded with whomever they put it over you know. Neverwhere is wriiten by the author and song writer Neil Gaiman. It is a bit dark I have to say for me, so now that im this far in feedback I think I might find someone for it.

Amazing

Was unsure before purchasing but decided to take a gamble. I’m certainly glad that I did. With an all star cast and fantastic story line, it really didn’t disappoint. It certainly made my long commutes much more enjoyable and re-playing them, I’m noticing things I missed previously. Would highly recommend purchasing.

Radio/Audio Drama at its finest

Utterly fabulous. Until I listened to this on Radio 4, I had no idea what the fuss about Gaiman was. Now I am converted. That said, I really prefer to listen to his work, rather than read it in print. His books are zany and to me, really benefit from the input of a great narrator or cast, like this one, to give it the edge.

Cannot recommend enough, it's over a year since I listened to it and it is still firmly with me.

Another BBC Radio Gem

I first saw the BBC One production of Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" on A&E. This story proved to me once again that for my money, the best storytellers in the world tend to be British. I know surprisingly little of Neil Gaiman's writing but what I have read is fantastic. This radio-play is definitely all Neil Gaiman and is mostly faithful to the original miniseries. In some ways, especially casting, it exceeds the original. This cast includes the incredible Jamie Bell as Richard Mayhew and the ever-popular Anthony Head as the villainous Mr. Croup. The one character who is conspicuously missing from the story is Serpentine. Though she is as intriguing as any of Gaiman's creations, she was mysterious and somewhat under-utilized so her absence is noticeable but not worth obsessing about. The story works just fine without her.
Suffice it to say that this is another BBC Radio production which belongs on the same pedestal as the original "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy".

Very entertaining

Never read the book before, got copy because other very positive comments about it. I thought it is about 'underground' gang stuff but in fact involving magic, which is a good surprise for me. I love it very much.

It is great fun to listen, both the performances and the story itself. I have listened to it couple of times now, still not yet get bored;D

If this story has sequel, wish the same cast can do the Radio Drama of that one too.
