BBC Radio 4 Extra - Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs in Conversation

The best-selling author and uber-producer discuss The Sandman, Hitchhikers and Good Omens.

The best-selling author and producer discuss The Sandman, Hitchhikers and Good Omens.  From 2014.

The best-selling author Neil Gaiman and the revered producer Dirk Maggs go back a long way, but they only actually met in person much later in life.  

Their friendship began during the early days of email when, in 1992, Dirk wrote to Neil asking if he could turn Gaiman's 'The Sandman' comic series into a radio play.

Sadly that project didn't happen, but it was the beginning of a long friendship, which led to their working together on the hugely successful 2013 radio drama Neverwhere and on BBC Radio 4's adaptation of Good Omens, the cult classic written by Neil and Sir Terry Pratchett.

Recorded after the read through of Good Omens - ahead of recording.
 
Producer: Elizabeth Jaynes 

Made for BBC Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in December 2014.
