Neil Gaiman’s Chivalry is a BBC Northern Ireland Productionģ.9⭐ A whimsical clash of setting and premise Mrs Greenberg and the new woman on the till …. Starring Glenda Jackson as the Narrator and Mrs Whitaker, and Kit Harington as Sir Galaad. Neil Gaiman created Mrs Whitaker in his late 20s, and she was very much inspired by his grandmothers. He comes asking for the Grail, and ends up helping out with the gardening and heavy lifting around the house. It’s a delightfully quirky, funny, and sweet story, mixing the gentle normality of Mrs Whitaker’s chats with her best friend, discussing grandchildren over home-made macaroons, with the very lightly touched upon every day loneliness of bereavement, and a visit from a handsome young man who says he’s called Galaad. Along the way, she meets her dear friend Mrs Greenberg for macaroons, and becomes the focal point of Sir Galaad’s most important quest. This year’s Radio 4 Neil Gaiman Christmas special is the story of Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop.
