The book was promoted as a companion to the series, which was released after the third episode in the fall of 1996 on BBC Two. While the series was being filmed, Gaiman expanded the story, using his screenplay as a platform for his novel. To set the record straight, the series was a collaborative effort between Gaiman and Lenny Henry, written for the BBC. There is a common misconception that Neverwhere is the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's first solo novel. ![]()
