Good Omens, literally

[nineveh_uk]

After going home sick at lunchtime*, my day has been greatly improved by the first photo of David Tennant and Michael Sheen as Crowley and Aziraphale in the forthcoming TV adaptation of Good Omens.



I definitely approve. Crowley's a bit different from the book, but the faint miasma of desperation exuding from the aging would-be rocker works for me. As for Aziraphale, for the people complaining that it looks exaggerated, that's mild compared to some of the horrors you get round Oxford**. The appalling cut of the trousers is a particularly fine touch, and I like the 'cherub gone to seed' of the fluffy blond hair.

*To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody: Is this the real flu? Is it just virus-y? Crap immune system, no escape from things disease-y.

**The pale mustard broad wale corduroy suit remains a low point.

That's a nightmare version of Doctor Who... 'Freelance lecturer has one suit so it had better be memorable for good or ill' is the phrase that springs to mind.

"Freelance lecturer at a theology college" at that!

Just swop the bow tie for a clerical collar and you have the freelancer who took us for Greek and Latin Prose Comp in my final year (before he went off to be Rector at one of those City of London parishes with no resident congregation but an awful lot of ritual).
