The acclaimed comedy fantasy series Good Omens continues its run on terrestrial TV in the UK tonight as Episode Two premieres on BBC Two from 9pm.
David Tennant stars as fast-living demon Crowley opposite Michael Sheen as his angelic counterpart Aziraphale in the six-part series which was adapted from the beloved novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Good Omens was produced by Neil Gaiman and directed by Douglas Mackinnon and premiered in May 2019 on Amazon Prime. The series also stars Jon Hamm, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Jack Whitehall, Nina Sosanya, Michael McKean and Josie Lawrence.
Episode 2: The Book
Aziraphale and Crowley are informed by their respective superiors that
the Four Horsemen have been summoned, as part of the beginning of the end of
the world. Having followed the wrong boy for years, they must now try to locate the whereabouts of the real Antichrist. The pair
head back to Tadfield, to the old convent and site of the baby-swap, only to
discover it no longer exists. As they head back on to the road, they cross
paths with Anathema, and soon discover that she has lost Agnes Nutter's book.
Meanwhile Newton Pulsifer is struggling to find a job until
a chance meeting with Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell. Newt joins Shadwell as his
assistant, discovering Shadwell’s lifelong, but thus far seemingly futile,
mission to rid the world of witches, and also meets Shadwell's neighbour and
unlikely friend, Madame Tracy, part-time medium and part-time courtesan.
If you live outside the UK, Good Omens is still streaming worldwide on Amazon Prime Video. It is also available to order on DVD and Blu-ray with extras that include commentaries and deleted scenes.
