The fourth episode of the award-winning comedy Good Omens premieres on BBC Two in the UK tonight. David Tennant stars as fast-living demon Crowley with
Michael Sheen as fussy angel Aziraphale in the six-part series which was
adapted from the cult fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The
series was written and produced by Neil Gaiman and directed by Douglas Mackinnon.
Set in 'a nostalgic present' Good Omens sees the Earth
hurtling towards the Apocalypse. The Antichrist has risen, the Four Horsemen
are riding and the forces of Heaven and Hell massing for the final battle.
However, an angel and a demon who have dwelt among humanity since The Beginning
are determined that they won't give up their comfortable existence and form an
alliance to stop the world ending. Their plan is to destroy the Antichrist...if
only they hadn't mislaid him 11 years previously.
Episode 4: Saturday Morning Funtime
Aziraphale and Crowley's friendship is tested to the limit
as their superiors catch up with them when Archangel Michael finds evidence of
them colluding. While Aziraphale is urged to prepare for war, Hastur and Ligur
pursue Crowley, forcing him to resort to desperate measures.
At Shadwell's flat, Newt is sent out on his first mission,
while the Sergeant himself encounters a phenomenon that calls on him to prove his witchfinding skills.
Armageddon starts in earnest, with the Antichrist's powers
wreaking havoc across the globe. Whispering voices have begun to influence
Adam, and he tells his friends they should tear down the world and rule a new
one together.
The series also stars Jon Hamm, Miranda Richardson, Adria
Arjona, Jack Whitehall, Nina Sonanya, Michael McKean and Josie Lawrence.
Watch tonight on BBC Two from 9pm.
