But if you get a chance to watch the DVD, it has a good interview with Gaiman.

The TV version of Neverwhere is laughably cheesy. Especially "The Marquis."
Oh.
Man.
So bad.
Even for a guy like me, who is willing to go a decent way into latent goth-teen-who-is-by-this-time-getting-pretty-old cheesedom, Neverwhere was quite the disappointment. Bad enough to wonder how much worse it was going to get, in fact. I think that was what got me to watch all the episodes.
