A BBC Radio six-part adaptation of Neil Gaiman's best-selling novel, starring James McAvoy as Richard and Natalie Dormer as Door. Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere....

During the 1940s, Britain suffered a national catastrophe that would become known as The Great Tribulation by its survivors. The remnant of His Majesty’s Government formed a department known as The Ministry of Survivors; the mandate of this office was to help, guide, and inform the public through the anarchy around them. They produced and issued a handbook known as The Citizen Survivor’s Guidebook. This is an audiobook of a surviving copy of the 2nd edition of The Citizen Survivor’s Guidebook. 

A half-woman, half-cockroach fused in a bizarre gardening accident? That would be Mrs Jittery Twitch, dwelling in the shadows of our misdeeds. If in danger, you can call upon her help...all she asks is your soul as payment. But she’s just a legend, so no need to worry. Barry Harris is a 28-year-old man, still living with his dear old mum in a little flat above a hairdresser. His obsession with Star Trek and the martial arts won’t help him when he’s forced out on a date. And nobody knows about the weird string of events that’s about to put everyone’s lives in danger.

How would it be if everything you thought you knew about your world was a lie - and that every myth, legend, and conspiracy theory was, in fact, the truth? Well, it would certainly rattle your marbles, that's for sure. It especially rattled those of Dick Sirius, and that's because he's already missing a few. He has no recollection of his life before the age of 18. He just woke up one day in a hostel in Rickmansworth with nothing but his clothes, a cheque for 5,000 pounds, and a tube of acne cream.
