David Tennant casually coming up with a sketch so Michael can bring his dog to the BAFTA's.

[@topmandog1]

and its based on staged too

[@HuntingViolets]

I don’t think it’s his dog. It’s a professional dog.

[@bernardsoh3559]

​@@HuntingVioletsof course it is. Did you mean to say Andy Sarkis is not professional?

[@HuntingViolets]

@@bernardsoh3559 Just that he isn't Michael Sheen's, as far as I know. :)

[@aprildeann3637]

​@@HuntingVioletsIt apparently is. According to all the British entertainment news outlets that covered the show, that's Michael Sheen's pet dog.

[@phill6859]

I love the fact they worked with each other once, then lockdown happened and they got cast in about the only thing possible to make where they are portrayed as friends and everyone assumes they want to work together all the time. Casting them forever together in fan service. Then David got asked back to do doctor who, without Michael, and everyone wants him to stay there too. He belongs to us now!!!!!

GO2 was boring. I think I blame the Yank. And, I'm a Yank. As much as I love Hamm as Draper and as much as I appreciate him desperately trying to yank himself out of the typecasting...you just look at him and expect Draper. Sadly, he will forever cast a Draperesque shadow on any role he tries. I hope he's getting good royalties and just needs to take a perpetual holiday and live it up.

[@elizabeth2818]

I look at him and see his character from 30 Rock so his role in Good Omens fit perfectly for me.

Dear BBC. You have now not only introduced the possibility of a collaboration between David Tennant and Tom Hiddleston, but also given us a glimpse of how hilarious and awesome it would be. Make.This.Happen. You owe us.

[@anbu1325]

What was that a reference to?

[@RUClassicallyTrained]

@@anbu1325 Neil Gaiman when being asked about spoilers for Good Omens probably

[@kaishaman7144]

@@anbu1325 The full story goes like this. After the first screen adaptation of Good Omens (where David and Michael star side by side), it was believed that there would be no continuation. After the second season was announced (it aired around 4(!) years after the first), Neil responded with “Wait and see” to any question regarding Good Omens (and I believe the most urgent question concerned the nature of the relationship between the two main characters). As it turned out, by doing that, he was citing an actual line of dialogue between the two main characters from the second season of Good Omens (in a situation that was also relevant to their relationship and the unresolved issues within it). Now, the second season of Good Omens ended on a very tragic note (Shakespeare-level tragedy; seriously, I’ve seen grown men watching it with tears in their eyes) and a deep divide between the two characters at the heart of the story. And now we have to “wait and see” several more years for this to be (presumably) resolved in the third season. So, this was a reference to: 1) Neil’s constant trolling of Good Omens fans, 2) an actual line in Good Omens, 3) the situation in which Good Omens fans find themselves currently. All three are extremely cruel and funny to the same extent. Hope this answers the question :)
