How did you feel about the changes we made for the Audible Sandman adaptation?

Oh, Nuala and Cluracan. We have waited for so long to have you with us ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿชท this is so sureal. After two years of patiently waiting and anxiety whether they will be in it, it feels so good to know that not only they are real but they have been entrusted to great actors ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉท

I got intrigued because I fell in love with a German Shepherd who died too young.

Paterson Joseph in Neverwhere.

Paterson Joseph in Neverwhere.

I binged it over a couple of nights recently, it's still great.

Plus Paterson Joseph is hot AF as the Marquis de Carabas.

Really didn't like the idea of KHB as Death (just the look) , but gave it a chance when I heard you personally approved. Man was i glad to be wrong wrong wrong, she was AWESOME. Every single bit of S1 casting was perfect, can't wait for S2.

How wonderful to see Clive Russell in there! Makes me want to rewatch Neverwhere - although, to be fair, the *existence* of Neverwhere makes me want to rewatch Neverwhere!

Very happy to do it again.

them for his own amusement. Heโ€™s also the inspiration for Shakespeareโ€™s Puck in A Midsummer Nightโ€™s Dream.
Indya Moore (Queen & Slim, Pose, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) plays Wanda, a professional driver and security agent for an exclusive travel firm. Wanda proves herself to be an indispensable guide on an Endless road trip to the waking world.
Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, The Trip) is the voice of Barnabas, the canine companion of the Endlessโ€™s Prodigal brother. Barnabas is loyal and loving, but an outspoken cynic. Meaning, heโ€™s both manโ€™s best friend and manโ€™s sharpest critic.

Communiquรฉ from the Tourist Office for the Barrow Downs

To all Barrow Wights,

A number of incidents have come to our attention involving unprofessional staff behaviour toward visitors. The Tourist Office for the Barrow Downs is therefore issuing this reminder to all Barrow Wights:

1) Visitors on the Barrow Downs are welcome guests. DO NOT KIDNAP them. (This should not need to be said!)

2) While some visitors will be thrilled to see inside your tomb, please avoid any of the following:

a) kidnapping (as mentioned above)
b) putting visitors in a deep sleep
c) changing their clothes to those of ancient kings while asleep 
d) laying them on an altar with a sword across their necks
e) manifesting as an arm with no body attached and walking on your fingers (this is not The Addams Family Experience)
f) definitely NO kidnapping

3) Fog: remember, if you intend to use the fog machine, this should be only for effect. Strangers do not to actually get lost.

Strangers do not to actually get lost.

4) As a supplementary: DO NOT lure visitors with voices in the fog: it will cause alarm.

5) Saying you โ€œwerenโ€™t kidnapping them, you just couldnโ€™t work out the control knob on the fog machineโ€ and โ€œI was just trying out my voicesโ€ will no longer be accepted as a reason for luring visitors into fog. This contravenes too many Health and Safety Rules.

6) Bear in mind at all times that you have a wealth of interesting historical information to impart. Visitors want to be amazed and entertained. Most do not enjoy kidnapping.

7) โ€œDo not kidnap meโ€ means someone does not want to be kidnapped. Only a few in a few Special Exceptions and on Rare Occasions does โ€œDo not kidnap meโ€ mean โ€œDo kidnap meโ€.

8) Special Exceptions and Rare Occasions:

a) You may kidnap someone if they have filled out a consent form. (This is only applicable on adult role-playing nights.)
b) You may put visitors in a deep sleep on adult role-playing nights provided the necessary box is ticked. (You may not tick the box yourself)
c) Adorning sleeping guests in ancient kingโ€™s clothes on adult role-playing nights is allowed.
d) Similarly, laying guests on an altar with a sword across their necks is allowed.
e) Severed limbs are allowed to walk during adult role-playing nights.
f) Please remember: the safe word is โ€œTom Bombadilโ€.

Barrow Wights who infringe these rules will face disciplinary action. Three marks on your file will be escalated to me.

Yours, 
Mrs Goldberry.

Closer to the patrol car IMO but any Spectrum car would be safer, even with the Mysterons chasing you.

Now keeping a weather eye out for Mysterons.
