Written by Tony Jones Tuesday, 05 March 2013

Book News

Two bits of news in one – there’s value for you! Neil Gaiman’s NEVERWHERE is coming to Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra; the first episode is on Radio 4 and will be a one hour pilot broadcast on March 16th 2013. This will be followed by five half-hour episodes following on Radio 4 Extra from March 18th to 22nd 2013.

The cast is impressive and includes James McAvoy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anthony Head, Christopher Lee, Bernard Cribbins, Andrew Sachs, Johnn Vegas and many more.

Not only do we have this to look forward to but also the announcement that Neil Gaiman is working on a new NEVERWHERE novella entitled HOW THE MARQUIS GOT HIS COAT BACK a piece that he was ‘part way’ though in 2006.

We will of course be reviewing the pilot, the series and the novella all of which we are looking forward to immensely!
