Neil Gaiman's 1996 classic miniseries Neverwhere is re-releasing to DVD with all new bonus features! The Sandman creator and Coraline scribe's first TV miniseries - with director Dewi Humphreys (The Vicar Of Dibley) - creates an ambitious exploration of "London Below," a vast, subterranean capital, far below "London Above," where office drone Richard Mayhew (Gary Bakewell) unwittingly finds himself after rescuing Door (Laura Fraser, He Knew He Was Right), an underworld dweller determined to learn why her parents have been killed. The next thing he knows, Mayhew's life is gone and he's pulled into the fantastical world of London Below. Pursued by the murderous Messrs. Croup and Vandemar, Door and Richard with the help of Hunter and the Marquis de Carabas, attempt to find the Angel Islington, who knows the secret behind the murder of Door's family, and possibly a way for Richard to go home.
