There's a radio version of Neverwhere? With voices by you, Beneful Cumberbunds, and James McAvoy? Well, I know what I'm looking for tonight.
Edit: Found it
> The full list of narrators includes: James McAvoy, Natalie Dormer, David Harewood, Sophie Okonedo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Christopher Lee, Anthony Head, David Schofield, Bernard Cribbens, Romola Garai, George Harris, Andrew Sachs, Lucy Cohu, Johnny Vegas, Paul Chequer, Don Gilet, and Abdul Salis.
And coming up this Christmas, the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of "Good Omens" in 6 parts, available worldwide, for free.

following on from so many other 3-10 hour adaptations of books they've done.
Thing is, it's pretty cheap to do them on the radio. Get some well known voices in a room for a few days, add a few sound effects, and you have a product you can broadcast AND can earn money as a download once it's gone off the free catchup. A ready market for those commuting every day, etc.

If they spent slightly less on yet another cookery show, they might actually be able to fund some home grown content...
If you like urban fantasy, you'll like Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. It was a TV show first (with a young Lydia from Breaking Bad in one of the lead roles). But I much prefer the book and audio book (starring James McAvoy as Richard and Natalie Dormer as Door). It is amazingly good. Just look at that cast! (I also highly recommend reading or listening to the "How The Marquis Got His Coat Back". It gives very interesting background story on one of the most fun and badass characters in the book, and has an equally impressive cast, lead by Paterson Joseph (Holy Wayne of The Leftovers) among others.).
Yay! I hope they do American Gods and Neverwhere too.
OMFG YES.
