To all Neil Gaiman fans ("Stardust").
"Stardust" is not Gaimans best novel, in my honest opinion, and the BBC production of my favorite "Neverwhere" was a HUUUUUGE disappointment to me. But it seems that hollywood has finally got their eyes up for his work and unique mind.
I mean..... LOOK AT THE CAST, FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486655/

I find it rather insulting. Well..... Except for "Dr. Who" that is. I donīt know why, but for some reason the low budget production fitted Dr. Who perfectly.:) Oh, and i LOVED "Red Dwarf" as well. I think i tollerated the shitty budget of both "Who" and "Red Dwarf" because they were meant to be B-sci-fi and werenīt to be taken seriously in any way.

i find that bbc productions (the one's i've seen) rely on entheusiastic performances rather than slick production values.
i like the inventivness of the effects and set design. when i was a kid i didnt like them much either but i since adjusted my expectations accordingly. another good BBC production was the CS Lewis Narnia series. |

I really liked the novel.(Stardust)
True,was not one of Neil's best books but pretty damn good. Maybe this BBC production isn't up to par because Jane Goldman did the screenplay? It's a thought. Last edited by novakru; 07-27-2006 at 04:37 PM. |

No, the huge problem with the BBC production was the insultingly low budget they spend on the scenery and makeup. "Neverwhere" deserved more. MUCH more.:mad:
