Q&A Neil Gaiman and David Tennant w/ closed captions

[@wfbgenius]

I’m absolutely dying about David talking so lovingly about this *amazing* script they were working with, which contained such stage directions as “Crowley glares glarefully” and “The plants are terrified. No, I don’t know how to show this.”

[@thatluneboy]

sameee

[@XemeraldXD]

I read the script book recently, its quite incredible! I can really recommend it!

[@nicoleruser4909]

As soon as the interviewer started talking about "a super fan from home" I was like, PLEASE let it be Michael Sheen!

[@Zeemoncle]

i love how neil looks like he could cry of pure joy whenever he listens to david talk about his role and the show in general, it's like he's realising how much his work is loved and understood, kind of like a proud dad to both david&michael but also the fandom and the book/show itself.

[@tninotmaru]

The way Neil Gaiman talks about Terry Pratchett is making me tear up :') you can hear how much respect and admiration they had for each other

[@Sentientmatter8]

"They don't want to go back to that awful, binary lifestyle." As a nonbinary person, knowing that Crowley is a nonbinary character, that line is SUCH A VIBE.

[@hightidemidafternoon]

And coming from the actor who seems to be so supportive of his own nonbinary child 🥲

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

​@@hightidemidafternoonIs Ty Tennant non binary?

[@clarascats1365]

@@tiararoxeanne1318I think it’s one of their other children

[@thebettertee]

@@clarascats1365yeah!! the kids not even a teenager yet so they’re not in the limelight yet. i think they’ve been in a few shows tho (casualty or something?)

[@karuzelastudio7858]

He said no such thing, obviously said binary in a completly different context

[@TheJes8p]

every cassette seems to turn into the best of queen. i love that neil still had that idea. this show is such a labor of love.

[@jbrubin8274]

“I’m not stupid.” The perfect, and only answer. I’m dying, 😂🤣.

[@Ryan78336]

So many favorite lines in both the book and the series. Crowley talking to his plants, "I'm having a moment here" The moment when he says "We are F***ed!" and the part where Aziraphale threatens Crowley with "I'll never talk to you again!" the low key breakup that happens in the bandstand. The lines about ducks, the 'Oh lord heal this bike!" "Get in angel" "You've hit someone." "No I didn't, someone hit me." "You go too fast for me Crowley." Crowley talking to himself while getting pissed just before armageddon, him talking with Aziraphale in the same scene. "Stuff happened, I lost my best friend." Him searching for Aziraphale in the burning bookshop, the cheek he gives the firefighters just before that. SO many grate little moments.

[@forestenrory]

FRR!!! what a grate reference in the last line btw

[@stressed-out-goose]

I just adore the "oh lord, heal this bike" line

[@sfanto945]

That line pops into my head daily lol@@stressed-out-goose

[@letolethe3344]

Neil Gaiman just looks so happy here. It's wonderful.

[@porcelainboy264]

As the interview goes on, you can just see the years falling away from Neil and David's features, their whole faces light up and it's like the wrinkles and the eye bags disappear. It shows how passionate they are about Good Omens and their craft

[@sylvan44]

you’re an angel for the captions, thank you so much

[@abrunedu49]

You're very welcome, I'm glad it's useful! Thank you x

[@nikaw.9061]

Shout out to Neil Gaiman for being a slow speaker ❤

[@MadiganinPeach]

Ok watching the part about them being one character after seeing season 2 is about to ruin me for another month 😭😭😭😂

[@anngiegarzon3243]

The amount of love you can tell Neil put into Good Omens alongside Terry at the time and after all of these years into the tv show melts my heart away, I tear up everytime I hear him, David or Michael talk about it 🥺❤‍🩹

[@tamarabedic9601]

Agreed: there had to be Queen. LOVE the fact that Aziraphale began as one. So we have two sides of the same coin. Wonderfully done.

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

I got a suspicion that both character would be literally merged or reincarnated as one character at the end. But I think it is too wild. Neil might think about it, but I don't think he would actually go there.

[@evakaname]

what else could feed the "soulmate" fanfiction stuff more than they starting off as ONE XD

[@han5234]

I know this is an old video but thank you for the captions! I'm hard of hearing and so many channels don't bother to include any; it means a lot!

[@staryellos]

felt this so much as someone who has a hard time processing audio 🙏🙏 made me so happy for real

[@martas.2095]

That is a game-changer. We watch movies with so much CGI etc. effects niwadays that I always assume that something is made digitally. And here in season 1 it was not entirely the case! Wow, I really appreciate that.

[@MayaJagger]

Stellar comment section for a stellar interview. I love this fandom ❤️

[@letolethe3344]

This is the very best interview with Good Omens folks that I've ever seen. First, the questions are genuine, original, heartfelt, open-ended, and well-thought-out. They elicit detailed responses and story-telling rather than just a sentence. Also, the interviewer is clearly listening to and enjoying the answers he's getting. So often interviewers are clearly not listening to the subject at all--they're thinking about what THEY'RE going to say next.

[@OctagonalGolbat]

THANK YOU so much for the captions! I always miss about half of every interview bc I can't quite tell what they're saying.

[@abrunedu49]

I'm very happy to hear it's useful :)

[@rosemaryherrick9273]

Thank you so much! I had never read nor heard about GO until the series. Nor did I know of Terry nor Neil! I am now totally a fan of both Neil and Terrys work as well as David and Michael! Happy New Year!

[@abrunedu49]

Such a wonderful show, I totally discovered GO with the TV adaptation too and I'm glad I did :)) Happy new year x

[@banillaveans]

I absolutely love this interview because the interviewer is obviously a big fan of the book and the series and he has such good chemistry with Neil and David so it didn’t feel awkward, it just feels like some friends talking about something that I love so much 🥰

[@drwoo6090]

I e watched Good Omens 6 times, and will watch it many times again, and still enjoy it as much as, if not more so, than the first time!

[@jolynnaerobert3190]

I read Good Omens a while ago and found it very difficult to follow. Very distracted and fragmented storyline. However, I LOVED the tv series! It all made sense watching it and seeing actual characters. I binge watched the show and have since watched it 3 times, so far... They could not have picked at better cast. Also, the interviewer asks excellent questions; not the usual nonsense that is most often asked.

[@lualncol]

That was great! (And David Tennant looks like he's nodding off toward the end)

[@dorkifork]

Neil saying that Aziraphale and Crowley can talk about anything.... meanwhile s2e6 exists

[@letolethe3344]

This interview supports two pet predictions of mine about s3 that probably won't come true, but: 1) GO will end (Gaiman s3 is absolutely it) with C & A combining to become one being--God. God was somehow split in 2 when demons fell--or the archangels did it to seize power--and the result was the two of them, the best qualities in 2 beings. 2) It will end with A & C becoming human. They'll somehow have to sacrifice their powers and immortality to save existence. I don't want it to end that way--I want them to live forever! But it would make sense with the humanist message of the book and series.

[@lielouetta]

This is such a great prediction! I wouldn’t like for it to end that way either, but what an ending it would be!! :O

[@dashapavlukova1013]

That is great, thank you for posting this!

Thank-you. I enjoyed this.

[@northshoregirl8173]

Great interview! Lots of good stuff

[@thebettertee]

it is 1am and sleep would be beneficial. leaving a timestamp to pick back up here 28:04

[@asterismos5451]

These are actually open captions, not closed! Though closed captions are available as well so that's good for people who might need to change the language or size etc..

[@mark.J6708]

I refuse to believe Good Omens is 30 years old, the implications of that regarding my age could be frightening. I still have my original copy around somewhere. Awesome book, awesome show... season 2 I am watching very, very slowly because it needs to last...
