Under the streets of London is a world most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and soul-sucking girls in black velvet. This is the London of the dispossessed, the people who have fallen through the cracks. Richard Mayhew is a young executive who is about to find out more than he ever wanted to know about this other London. Catapulted out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and utterly bizarre, Richard finds a strange destiny waiting for him, below the streets of his native city.
An extraordinary vision of a world beneath the streets of London, this flagship BBC drama is a funny, scary, urban fantasy conceived by cult graphic novelist Neil Gaiman and the BBC's own Lenny Henry, with music supplied by the legendary Brian Eno. Starring Gary Bakewell (Casualty, Backbeat), Laura Fraser (A Knight's Tale), Hywel Bennett (Pennies From Heaven), Tamsin Greig (Black Books, Doctor Who), Stratford Johns (Doctor Who, Softly Softly) and directed by Dewi Humphreys (The Vicar Of Dibley).
