📖 According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, the world will end on a Saturday. A Saturday quite soon, in fact.
The whole of our six-part adapation of @neilhimself and Terry Pratchett's wonderful 1990 fantasy Good Omens is on BBC Sounds now - and you can listen from anywhere in the world. Tell your friends, good or evil.
Neil Gaiman wrote on Facebook,
"If you are hearing impaired, or just like closed captions, and were frustrated by the closed captions of Good Omens Season 2 not bearing much relationship to what the characters were actually saying, I am delighted to tell you that new, corrected, accurate closed captions have just been uploaded and are there waiting for you."
I have been massively enjoying this rerun of the radio series on @BBCRadio4 of the much missed #TerryPratchett + @neilhimself 's genius book #GoodOmens.
It's been wonderful to introduce a whole new generation to both Pratchett and Gaiman's work.
A big recommend if you haven't read/heard it.
(Have not seen TV series so can't compare to that)
Don't forget to stream Good Omens (Seasons 1 and 2), give them good ratings, keep sharing it across social media and support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to help make Season 3 happen! The writers and actors deserve a livable income and reasonable work hours/conditions, as well as the opportunity to make the high-quality art they want to share with the world 💚
If you listened to the recent Good Omens serial, adaptated and sound-designed by Dirk Maggs from the book by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, then you'll likely enjoy this discussion between old friends and collaborators, Dirk and Neil on the topic. It took place right before the recording.
Feels silly to have to say, but TAG your spoilers and such with shows please. Especially with new #GoodOmens coming out soon, #WWDITS in an ongoing season, new OFMD news, and so on. Tag #spoiler/#spoilers - and if you don't want to see them, make haste to set up your filters appropriately!
Good Omens ('90) is a comedy about the coming end-times when Satan sends his son to Earth to precipitate Armageddon. Things don't go according to plan and angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley who were never keen are left to sort things out. Authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are the police.
Sooooo... I sat down this morning armed with cup of tea, writing banana and supervisor cats, ready to get in a solid morning's hacking away in the word mines...
Thanks for the #FediBookFair which is online this weekend. 😊
