Today, at 14:30 is the first 30min instalment of the Radio 4 adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, which has a rather Whovian cast. After it's over you should be able to listen to it on the iPlayer from all over the world. The first episode will be available as a podcast download on the 22nd.

Are we squeeing?

I'm listening to it now. Is the first episode not 60 minutes?

Gaiman's cameo as the security guard! XD

[pinguthegreek]

It is rather good, isn't it?

[that_therapist]

Yeah, I really liked it! I assumed it was going to once a week, so am quite happy that the whole thing will be done in a week ;-D

And Gaiman's second cameo was awesome.

Bah. Been insanely busy with college stuff for the past few weeks, and have left all five episodes pile up. I saw a few days ago that iPlayer had them listed under 'OVER A YEAR LEFT TO LISTEN'. But Neil has just posted on Facebook that this is a glitch in the system, and they'll be taken away tomorrow. I'm still insanely busy with college stuff, and won't have time to listen to them in the next day. But is there anywhere else I can listen to them, or will the BBC repeat them at any point?

Tomorrow will be the last day to stream and download episode one, but I think the second will stay up to Monday, the third up to Tuesday and so on, 'cause things tend to be on the iplayer for x amount of days. Here's where you can download the first episode, the only hour-long one - the rest are 30min:

Missed it, not surprisingly. I'll be keeping an ear out for re-runs.
