thewrongbookshop asked:

Who decided David Tennant and Michael Sheen should have English accents and why? They were phenomenal as they were, of course (the entire cast is amazing!!!), but Welsh seems way more angelic and Scottish would suit Crowley too. Not a bad decision, but one I'm curious about. Ps. I usually have to treat adaptions as coincidentally similar to the source material so I'm not disappointed but, while I still think of it as a parallel universe to the book, I did not have to do that for Good Omens.
