I "Never"saw the TV show, nor heard the radio series, so it's all new to me

The TV series was made on a BBC budget and changed some things in a way that pissed off Mr Gaiman. The book is much better, but then aren't they usually better than the film or TV version? Although in this case the book is actually based on the TV series rather than the other way around. There has also been a play and a comic and NG wrote a film script that is not currently even in pre-production limbo.
The TV show had a fantastic cast, Door went on to be Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones, and people like Christopher Lee, Anthony Head and Bernard Cribbins all have roles. Oh yes, and a young Benedict Cumberbach.

I really enjoyed Neverwhere. Good book. Smiling

I’m on a break from my normal reading material and have gone for:

Mark Haddon - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

And I’m enjoying it Shocked

I read that a few years ago, decent book.
 
I also picked up "A Spot of Bother" a while back, but haven't gotten around to it yet...
