Paterson Joseph stars as the Marquis de Carabas in this brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's spin-off short story, set in the magical world of Neverwhere.

Returning us to London Below, this enchanting tale continues the story of one of the most colourful characters from Neverwhere โ€“ the cool, charming, resourceful Marquis de Carabas, who trades in favours and always has a plan...

The Marquis' coat is a thing of wonder and beauty. Sleek, stylish and 'the colour of a wet street at midnight', it has numerous pockets, sumptuous sleeves and the power to transform a young sneak thief into a nobleman.

And now it is missing, sold by the Sewer Folk. To reclaim it, the Marquis must venture into one of the most terrifying parts of the subterranean city, encounter an old enemy, face dreadful dangers and โ€“ worst of all โ€“ accept help from someone very close to home.

Expanded and dramatised for Radio 4 by the award-winning Dirk Maggs (Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Hitchhikerโ€™s Guide to the Galaxy) and co-directed by Dirk Maggs and Heather Larmour, this spine-tingling production features a star cast including James McAvoy, Adrian Lester, Don Warrington and Bernard Cribbins, with a cameo appearance by Neil Gaiman himself.

Contains 15 minutes of additional unbroadcast material. Duration: 60 mins approx.

Neil Gaiman is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels โ€˜Neverwhereโ€™ (1995), โ€˜Stardustโ€™ (1999), the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning โ€˜American Godsโ€™ (2001), โ€˜Anansi Boysโ€™ (2005), and โ€˜Good Omensโ€™ (with Terry Pratchett, 1990), as well as the short story collections โ€˜Smoke and Mirrorsโ€™ (1998) and โ€˜Fragile Thingsโ€™ (2006). His screenwriting credits include the original BBC TV series of โ€˜Neverwhereโ€™ (1996), Dave McKeanโ€™s first feature film, โ€˜Mirrormaskโ€™ (2005), and the Doctor Who episode 'The Doctor's Wife' (2011). In 2013, The Ocean at the End of the Lane was voted Book of the Year in the British National Book Awards. A radio adaptation of Neverwhere was broadcast in March 2013, adapted by Dirk Maggs for BBC Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra. In September 2014, Gaiman and Terry Pratchett joined forces with BBC Radio 4 to make the first ever dramatisation of their co-penned novel Good Omens.
