Hannah Ellis-Petersen, The Guardian, 21st December 2014Radio Times review
A masterpiece in pitch-black comedy from the pairing of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is Good Omens (Mon 22 Dec-Fri 26 Dec, 11pm R4 and Sat 27 Dec, 2.30pm), where two angels - one working with God, the other with Satan - form an unholy alliance. Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a mix-up with the birth of the Antichrist, and the American ambassador's son (Warlock) might not be the child to bring on Armageddon after all. The fate of our planet will be decided after Any Questions on Saturday 27 Dec, Radio 4. Thus was it written...
