I
really don't want to say too much about this episode. So many good twists and developments that
it'd be criminal to spoil. I'll just say
that the stakes are high, life and death are in the balance, and loyalties come
into question. It’s a good one, people.
I've
figured out what the set design for London Below reminds me of: the micmacs' junkyard hideout from Jeunet's Micmacs. Everything's cobbled out of found objects,
trinkets, and trash, but it somehow looks so magical. I love that.
Another
brief appearance by Islington – just a tantalizer – but it's a good one, I'd say.
Oh,
and it's come to my attention that BBC Radio recently produced an audio
dramatization of Neverwhere, featuring the likes of James McAvoy,
Christopher Lee, Natalie Dormer, Sophie Okonedo, and Anthony Stewart Head. And the role of Islington? Played by Benedict Cumberbatch! I can't picture that, having seen PC's
performance. Just given what
Cumberbatch's voice sounds like, it must be so different.
Anyway,
what is up with Britain? That cast is just ridiculous in the sheer
amount of awesome crammed into one radio play.
Guess what I'm tracking down later?
Plus,
Gaiman adapted Neverwhere into a
novel, and it’s been done in comic-book form as well. Goodness gracious – I knew going into Capaldi
Fall that I’d have a long viewing list, but no one said anything about a
listening/reading list! I guess I
figured out how I’m going to while away the long Who-less months between Christmas and whenever series 8 starts.
