Anyone else really looking forward to this? One of my favourite books, also David Tennant what's not to like Grin

As in Terry Pratchet's Good Omens?! On the telly?! Are you kidding me?!

Christ, I'm half over the moon excited and half fucking terrified they are going to ruin one of the best books ever written. Be still my beating heart.

I had a dream David served me a school dinner the other night, very odd. I hope they lose none of the humour and wit, wasn't overly keen on the adaptations of Pratchett's stuff.

I'm so excited about this, but it's so far away. I'm sure they said it would be on BBC 2 in 2019!

Yes I cannot wait! One of my absolute favourite books. And David Tennant is one of my favourite David's.

I am INSANELY excited about this. David Tennant and Michael Sheen are perfect for the roles. Also Miranda Richardson as Madame Tracy! ❤️

I am looking forward to Michael Sheen and David Tennant, but their costumes are ALL WRONG! Too obvious!

They're Crowley and Aziraphale, yes?

I have my original paperback, a pristine hardback copy, and an e version too.

I love the fact that this was a joint book between Pratchett and Gaiman and even though Gaiman is involved the fear is that it wont do justice to a Pratchett book.

I've got a tattered paperback signed by both Gaiman and Pratchett - they apparently often did it in the same way, with Pratchett writing "BURN THIS BOOK!" and Gaiman writing "apply holy match here ->" (pointing to corner of page).

Excited and worried in equal measures after American Gods. Seems to be good casting so far, though I'll reserve judgement on Jack Whitehall as Newt.
