Neil Gaiman is an author who needs (almost) no introduction: the mind behind much-loved novels including Neverwhere, Stardust and Coraline, all of which have been adapted for film, TV and radio. The latest to be adapted is American Gods, which starts on Amazon Prime worldwide on 1 May: a road-trip fantasy epic that follows ex-con Shadow Moon and his run-ins with gods – some old, some new – around modern America.

Gaiman came into the studio and spoke to Sian about everything he has been working on recently – his role in the TV version of American Gods, his latest book, Norse Mythology, and how he’s getting on adapting Good Omens for the BBC, the book he wrote with his beloved friend and fellow author, the late Terry Pratchett.
