im----locked asked:

so are we to assume wait and see is just "maybe"?

I suppose so. It’s more of an “I know, but I’m not actually telling you,” than a “maybe”, though. With a side helping of “Perhaps if I keep replying with wait and see, you’ll all be content to wait and find out the answers to your questions.” (It’s not like I’m secretly picking all the questions where the answer would be Yes and replying with Wait and See, while ignoring anything which would result in a No answer.)

Then again, I’m also very aware that all of your questions are really just variants on “Are we there yet?” and the answer is, no, we aren’t there yet. We won’t be there until 2023. And perhaps there will be a teaser or a trailer and possibly even the occasional leak or spoiler before then, to sate your lust for information.

When I was a child and we went for dinner at our Granny's, if we asked what was for pudding before finishing our first course she'd say, "Asquith," as a code for 'Wait and See'.

Years later I found out this was a weirdly specific political reference from 1910, but I thought you might like some alternative phrasing as the questions about GO S2 keep rolling in.

I didn’t know about Asquith and Wait and See… That’s fascinating! Here’s the article I found, and the cartoon it contained.

There is a raffle for charity where the price is the Occult Edition of the Illustrated Good Omens, signed by David, Michael, Neil and more. In the raffle there is 1000 tickets, one per £20.00, one of them will win. The winner pays for the postage and any additional insurance costs or recorded delivery costs. The chance to win is 1 but 1000 but the signatures look cool.

If you want to buy the normal Occult Edition (without signatures, £95), Paul Kidby in his newsletter this week wrote that there are only 14 left :):

Hello Mr Gaiman.

I love love love Good Omens, and watching it made me want to see more of David Tennant. I then watched Doctor Who and Staged and am now working my way through everything he’s ever been in ever and he’s now my favourite actor. I think he’s a phenomenal actor, and I love all of his characters, but it’s also because he just seems like such a kind, friendly and goofy person. Everyone I’ve ever seen talk about him, in interviews and such, have only had good things to say. So I’m curious if you have a favourite thing about David Tennant? (Other than his flammability and willingness to be set on fire)

My first week on the Good Omens set, four years ago, I was in line to get food from the catering truck. Back in the pre-covid days you would see everyone from the show in the food line, from the carpenters and the drivers to the production assistants and the costume people. You normally don’t see the actors, because they go back to their trailers and have their food (from the catering truck) brought to them there (this is not a stuck-up thing to do - mostly they are back in their trailers desperately going over their lines, or getting themselves into the headspace they’ll act with). And if you do see fancy actors at the catering truck, oftentimes they’ll be whisked to the front of the line.

But there, standing in the lunch line between a make-up lady and an electrician, was David Tennant. And everyone around felt more comfortable because he was saying up front that he was one of the people making the show, and that there wasn’t any difference between what he was doing and what the electrician or the make-up lady were doing. We were in this together, all contributing to Good Omens.

We barely knew each other at that point, but I was certain then that I would like David, and that he was what my yiddish-speaking ancestors would have called a mensch. And the more I’ve got to know him, the more I’ve respected him as a person and as an actor. He’s lovely.

(Also, I can write weird noises like “Ngk” or “Phwooeeeer” in the scripts and know that something really interesting is going to come out of David’s mouth.)

Please don't set the fennec foxes on fire

Don’t worry. There will be a “No Fennec Foxes Were Harmed During the filming of…”

Actually, there probably won’t. I had plans in the credits for Series One for a whole set of “No …. were harmed during the filming of this show” including fish, krakens, motorways, The Earth and suchlike, and for reasons that escape me now, we couldn’t do it.
