Comedy.co.uk Awards 2019 winners revealed
The results of the 14th annual Comedy.co.uk Awards have been revealed. Good Omens, After Life, Susan Calman and Would I Lie To You? are amongst the winners.
British Comedy Guide, 27th January 2020It is episode two of Neil Gaiman's fantasy series, based on his book with Terry Pratchett, and England's long history of witchcraft starts to play its part in the looming apocalypse. If you can stomach how arch and mannered it all is, the sparkling, high-budget visuals offer a blizzard of clever ideas.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 22nd January 2020Good Omens review
The story is based on a novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, so it's bursting with daft jokes. Silliest of the lot is the convent for devil-worshipping nuns, the Sisters of the Chattering Order of St Beryl.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 16th January 2020Good Omens review
Would Terry Pratchett have been happy with the result? I imagine he would certainly have laughed. And that would be entirely down to Michael Sheen as the blond, fluffy-haired angel Aziraphale and David Tennant as the snake-eyed devil's demon Crowley, hiding his terrifying irises with sunglasses.

Max Goldbart, Broadcast, 16th January 2020Good Omens review
The script is full of irreverence, wit and charm, largely centred around Aziraphale and Crowley's chemistry.
Jack Pusey, The Sun, 15th January 2020Good Omens review
Neil Gaiman's Armageddon fantasy has landed on BBC Two - but it's far from heavenly.

British Comedy Guide, 13th January 2020Neil Gaiman: anti-Good Omens petition was "best thing"
Signed by 22,000 enraged individuals, the petition claimed that the series represented devils and Satanists as "good", and that it "mocks God's wisdom". Neil Gaiman - who co-wrote the novel with Terry Pratchett - is thoroughly grateful for the free publicity the whole palaver gave the series.
