That's left to right, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Harewood, Natalie
Dormer, Dirk Maggs, James McAvoy, David Schofield and Anthony Head, all
gathered today to record the BBC Radio 4/Radio 4 Extra production of
NEVERWHERE.
(It'll start on Radio 4 and then go over to Radio 4 extra.) The adaptation is by Dirk Maggs, who did the last three
Hitchhiker's Guide
Radio adaptations. He's co-directing it with producer Heather Larmour,
who is the one who went off and made this happen after a small
enthusiastic chat in a London coffee shop much earlier this year -- the
kind of conversation that you have that normally just leaves you feeling
happy, but doesn't actually turn into anything real. This time it did.
The cast includes...
James McAvoy: Richard
Natalie Dormer: Door
David Harewood: Marquis
Sophie Okonedo: Hunter
Benedict Cumberbatch: Islington
Anthony Head: Croup
David Schofield: Vandemar
Bernard Cribbins: Old Bailey
Romola Garai: Jessica
Christopher Lee: Earl of Earl's Court
Andrew Sachs: Tooley
...and lots more. It will go out in six episodes.
