[edit] Differences between series and novel?
Should we include a summary of differences between the series and the novel? I wouldn't want to see one of those awful lists of trivial items, but a few lines might be of interest to readers. I'd give it a shot myself, but haven't seen the series recently or often enough to remember what was different. CKarnstein 04:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fate of the Marquis
It's just a teeny little detail, but the article in its current state (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neverwhere_%28novel%29&diff=149502188&oldid=148478347) says that Mr. Vandemar and Mr. Croup 'break' their one hour agreement with the Marquis after he extracts the information he needed. The way I remember reading it, they don't necessarily 'break' the agreement, they just managed to find a loophole and follow the Marquis as he ran away for the entire hour that he wanted. Then, after the hour, they ended up doing what they did. Am I right? - 68.39.93.179 20:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Farthest Door
In this article, it is suggested that Door possibly chose Hell as the farthest location she could reach. I thought it was pretty obvious within the novel that she opened a door to outer space, due to the fact that (as I recall), Richard saw what looked like a star, and a vacuum is created as all the air is being sucked out into the emptiness of space.

- door opened a space between the doors, into a void...like space, and also arguably like hell. But it was the empty space between places.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Neverwhere.jpg
Image:Neverwhere.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
[edit] May changes by anon user
I recognise that I need to more correctly edit these changes, and i do indeed have aproper wiki account with which to do so. At the moment I have made thse changes hurriedly (and over on the televison pages) and intend to make a full and detailed revision of this page (presumably no one minds) with proper citations. As it stands, I should also be able to provide a scanned image of the original first edition of the BBC book, sort out some of the differences between Novel and Series, and possibly provide a more detailed article on the book, referring to the DVD commentary, the novel itself and other sources for information. In the mean time however, I hope people find my changes accurate, and forgive me grammar or spelling (please fix:) ) I watched the series when it was first shown in the Nineties, and followed its developmet before it was made, so I feel it my duty to make sure the wiki page is as good as possible. lol. Secretly, I just didnt like the idea of the Marquis De Carabas being like Puss In Boots, as he was (as stated by Gaiman) supposed to be Puss In Boots owner. :) Anyway, if nothing else maybe all you other people out there who know this story well will now be motivated to get a wiggle on and beat me to the Mr.Punch. Incidentally, the seven sisters are round the corner and I have to run up them now. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
