>>> AND WORLD WAR II.
THE NEW SERIES "GOOD OMENS" IS 
ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD AND 
IT'S HILL AIRIOUS. 
>> IT'S A FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN AN 
ANGEL AND DEMON. 
>> IT BEGINS ALL THE WAY BACK AT
THE BEGINNING WITH SHEEN 
WONDERING IF HE MADE A MISTAKE 
BY GIVING ADAM AND EVE A SWORD 
AFTER THEY WERE KICKED OUT OF 
THE GARDEN OF EDEN. 
>> I HOPE I DIDN'T DO THE WRONG 
THING. 
>> OH, YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN DO THE 
WRONG THING. 
>> OH, THANK YOU.
OH, THANK YOU.
IT'S BEEN BOTHERING ME.
>> I HAVE BEEN WORRYING, TOO.
WHAT IF I DID THE RIGHT?THING
A DEMON CAN GET IN A LOT OF 
TROUBLE BY DOING THE RIGHT 
THING.
IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF WE BOTH GOT
IT WRONG, IF I DID THE GOOD 
THING AND YOU DID THE BAD ONE.
>> NO.
>> MICHAEL SHEEN, DAVID TENNANT 
WITH US THIS MORNING AS WELL AS 
JON HAMM, WHO PLAYS THE ANGEL 
GABRIEL IN THE SERIES.
THIS IS FUNNY.
HERE IS THE THING.
IT'S NOT THE APOCALYPSE, BUT 
IT'S THIS BUDDY COMEDY BETWEEN 
AN ANGEL AND DEMON. 
>> THEY SHOULD BE ON OPPOSITE 
SIDES.
THEY HAVE SORT OF COME TO LOVE 
EACH OTHER. 
>> CELESTIAL COUPLE.
THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SO LONG, 
SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN, THEY 
HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH 
HUMANITY AND THE WORLD AND A 
LITTLE BIT WITH EACH OTHER. 
>> THEY QUITE LIKE THE MORTAL 
WORLD.
THEY DON'T WANT IT TO GO UP IN A
BALL OF FLAME IN THE APOCALYPSE.
>> AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER, 
EVEN THOUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE 
HEAD OFFICES THINK THAT THEY 
ARE -- 
>> HEAD OFFICE?
>> THAT'S THIS GUY, YEAH.
SO THIS IS MY BOSS, THE ANGEL 
GABRIEL. 
>> YES. 
>> YEAH, EVEN THOUGH THE HEAD 
OFFICES SEEM TO WANT CONFLICT, 
THESE GUYS ARE SET TO AVOID IT.
IT WORKS AS A METAPHOR FOR 
WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW. 
>> MICHAEL, YOU WERE ORIGINALLY 
APPROACHED TO PLAY THE DEMON.
BUT THEN DAVID, THEY SAID NO,NO,
NO, WE WANT YOU TO PLAY?
>> NEIL GAIMAN WROTE THE BOOK 
WITH TERRY PRACHET.
I HAVE KNOWN NEIL FOR YEARS.
WHEN HE STARTED TO DO THE 
ADAPTATION FOR TV ORIGINALLY WE 
THOUGHT THAT I WOULD PLAY 
CRAWLEY, THE DEMON.
WE BOTH KIND OF REALIZED THAT 
WASN'T A GOOD IDEA, I WAS MUCH 
MORE SUITED TO PLAY THE ANGEL.
THEN IT MEANT THAT WE HAD THE 
OPPORTUNITY FOR MR. TENNANT. 
>> AND, JON, THIS IS A KISMET IN
A WAY.
YOU SAY THIS BOOK WAS THE FIRST 
BOOK THAT YOU VOLUNTARY READ?
>> YEAH, WHERE I WASN'T ASSIGNED
IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THE FIRST THING I READ OUT OF 
SHEER JOY OF READING SOMETHING, 
A NARRATIVE THAT I FOUND 
CHALLENGING AND INTERESTING AND 
FUN AND SMART.
SO IT WAS A SEMINAL BOOK IN MY 
KIND OF GROWING UP.
SO TO GET THE CHANCE TO WORK ON 
IT, AND MY CHARACTER IS BARELY 
IN THE BOOK.
IT'S TANGENTIAL REFERENCED.
NEIL ADAPTED THE SCRIPT.
SO HE MADE A LITTLE MORE OF A 
MEAL OF IT FOR ME.
YEAH, I BASICALLY PLAY THE IDIOT
BOSS THAT EVERYONE HAS HAD AT 
SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE WHO 
DOESN'T GET WHAT YOU ARE DOING 
AND WANTS TO JUST MAKE FUN OF 
YOU.
SO I THINK I PULLED IT OFF.
>> YOU DO IT SO WELL, YEAH. 
>> AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS WAS 
LITERALLY LIKE A DYING WISH THAT
THIS BE TURNED INTO A SERIES?
>> HE TRIED TO GET IT MADE AS A 
FEATURE FILM AND VARIOUS OTHER 
VERSIONS AND IT NEVER HAPPENED.
TERRY SAID TO NEIL, I BELIEVE HE
WAS DYING, PLEASE GET THIS MADE.
SO HE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME 
WRITING BEST-SELLING NOVELS.
HE MADE SURE HE MADE IT TO THE 
SCREEN.
HE WROTE THE SCRIPT.
HE WAS THERE ON SET EVERY DAY.
HE HAS BEEN VERY MUCH THE 
MIDWIFE FOR THE WHOLE THING. 
>> AMAZING CAST.
NICK OFFER MAN, BENEDICT 
CUMBERBATCH.
I MEAN, IN IS A MURDERER'S ROW 
OF GREAT STARS. 
>> YEAH.
THE BOOK IS SO BELOVED BY SO 
MANY PEOPLE.
AND EVERYONE SORT OF WANTED TO 
BE A PART OF IT.
PEOPLE YOU WOULD NEVER THINK 
WOULD DO A LITTLE CAMEO ROLE, 
BECAUSE IT WAS FOR NEIL.
THEY CAME ON BOARD. 
>> YOU FILMED IT TWO YEARS AGO?
IS IT FUN TO FINALLY SEE IT?
>> STARTED IN THE FALL OF 2017.
FINISHED IN THE MIDDLE OF 2018. 
>> YEAH. 
>> THERE IS A LOT OF ELEMENTS TO
KIND OF, ESPECIALLY IN 
POST-PRODUCTION, TO SEE THERE IS
SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, VISUAL 
EFFECTS AND WHATNOT. 
>> WE GO FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
TO SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE, NOAH'S 
ARK, SPACESHIPS. 
>> IS THERE A FAVORITE TIME 
PERIOD?
>> IN EPISODE 3, THE FIRST HALF 
EACH SCENE IS A DIFFERENT PERIOD
OF HISTORY SHOWING HOW OUR 
RELATIONSHIP HAS DOEFD.
THAT WAS GREAT FUN.
ONE SCENE WE ARE IN OUR SUITS OF
ARMOR, WHICH IS QUITE FUNNY. 
>> YEAH.
>> PRACTICAL THINGS.
HOW ANYONE LEFT THE 
>>> WE'RE BACK.
