Hi Neil! I was watching Pride and Prejudice (1995) with my mom and I started wondering if they shot the whole series at once, or chronologically. Since Good Omens is also a 6-episode miniseries, how did you shoot it? (Beezlebub is my dad and my favorite character).
We shot it like a 6 hour movie. All at once.

As someone whose gender identity is confusingly ambiguous even to myself, I love the fact that the nonbinary characters in Good Omens can't always be explained by definitive gender labels and identities. It's rare to find canonically nonbinary characters, and even moreso to find characters that are good representation for my indescribable identity. I've started taking to referring to my own gender as "ineffable".
Excellent.

jew-flexive asked:
Hi, Mr. Gaiman! As a Jew, I was a bit leery of Good Omens because I find Christian-esque literature difficult to read without getting offended and/or comparing its sources to the Tanakh. But Crowley spoke to me in a way I could not have imagined. His attitude & how he Fell were so very Jewish. You and Sir Terry Pratchett made it possible for me experience a tradition that often excludes me, and I cannot thank you enough. With that said, did your Jewish heritage influence how Crowley was written?
I think my Jewish heritage influenced how the whole of Good Omens was written. You can’t be familiar with the midrash and also assume that anyone in the Bible has any idea what’s actually going on, after all. And Crowley is someone who asks questions.

Okay guys, but imagine:
Gabriel and Beelzebub start sniffing around Crowley and Aziraphale again. The two of them are trying to figure out what to do, sitting in the back of Aziraphale’s shop. Crowley is alternately sprawled in an armchair or pacing, while Aziraphale sits at a desk facing him, hands steepled as he thinks.
They both agree that they need an alternative to the face swap. It’s not viable long-term, and sooner or later Gabriel and/or Beelzebub will catch on.
“We need a way for me to borrow your holiness,” Crowley starts,
“And for me to borrow your, ah, blasphemousness,” Aziraphale agrees.
“Yeah, at a moment’s notice.“ The demon throws himself back down on the chair in disgust, limbs pointing every different direction.
“Some sort of, connection, I suppose, that will work on all planes.” Crowley makes a noise of agreement.
For several long minutes, there is silence. Somewhere a clock ticks
Aziraphale thinks of it first.
“We could get married,” he offers hesitantly, suddenly nervous to look Crowley in the face.

Crowley tries to thwart Her ineffable bloody plan by saving some of the children during the flood. Aziraphale finds him and the stowaways. A ‘fight’ ensues but ends with Crowley helping Aziraphale on his next mission.
Crawly is stifling a laugh as he braids one of the girl’s hair. “Like a pigeon, but white.” He offers.
“Oh,” says the boy. “My uncle got shat on by a pigeon once.”
“Well, I don’t need to that,” Aziraphale says primly, “Just fly. Find land. And bring a sign of it back to Noah.”
“Noah didn’t want us.” Says the girl standing in front of Crawly as he works on her hair. “Maybe you should shat on him too.”
