Press
More backstory for Michael Sheen's prissy angel, Aziraphale, and David Tennant's louche demon, Crowley, as this adaptation of the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel continues. From Noah's ark to the crucifixion, the pair have plenty of shared history. This series has proved as inventive as its provenance suggests.
