Diana Rigg and Derek Jacobi Star in BBC Adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, Streaming Free, Worldwide, Now

You may have listened to With Great Pleasure, Neil Gaiman on BBC Radio 4 before Christmas Day. But now that the day itself has passed, there's no reason you shouldn't listen to a dramatic adaptation of his book Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology.

Produced by the BBC, and starring Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself, it is available here on the BBC iPlayer free, worldwide, for the following four weeks.

Ad to the promote the show, why not play the BBC's online game Which Norse God Are You?

Damn, Loki again…

'And the game begins anew…'

As the nights draw in and frost begins to crackle in the air, Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology comes to Radio 4, inviting us into a world of gods and monsters, fiery endings and new beginnings, tricks and trust.

Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan and Natalie Dormer lead a stellar cast, inviting us into these stories of old betrayals – and new hope.

We meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who grows up to be Queen of the dead. We meet Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the future, and Freya the understandably angry, most beautiful of the gods and always being gambled for by unwanted suitors. And the stories take us to the very end of the world, Ragnarok.

The stellar cast also includes Luke Newberry, Nonso Anozie, Rhashan Stone, Don Gilet, Nathaniel Martello-White, Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong, Lucy Doyle, Michael Bertenshaw, Lewis Bray, Alexandra Constantinidi, Cameron Percival, Saffron Coomber…. And Neil Gaiman himself.
