Neil Gaiman And Dirk Maggs In Conversation


NEIL GAIMAN AND DIRK MAGGS IN CONVERSATION (320kbs-m4a/37mb/16mins)

BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 29th July 2023

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.
