Synopsis
Neverwhere (1996) is a BBC fantasy series you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Neil Gaiman's own screenplay. Richard Mayhew is a regular London office worker — decent job, a fiancée, no real problems. Then he stops to help a girl named Door bleeding on a pavement, and by morning his flat belongs to strangers and no one he knows can place his face.
He's been pulled into London Below: a vast hidden city running beneath the familiar one, filled with the forgotten and the dangerous. Gary Bakewell plays Richard opposite Laura Fraser as Door, with Peter Capaldi and Paterson Joseph in supporting roles that use them well. The production is rough by today's television standards, but the world Gaiman built here outlasted the budget — it became a novel and a BBC radio drama that audiences still return to.
