David Tennant reads the bookshop scene from Good Omens during Playing in the Dark: Neil Gaiman and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Posting here to memorialise this even after the BBC takes it down from their website. Originally performed 12th Nov 2019 at the Barbican, London.

Photographer Lloyd Meudell captures surrealistic images of breaking sea foam. Interestingly, the sea foam is essentially a three-phase fluid made up of air, water, and sand. Yet despite the surrealism of its forms, the foam bears strong resemblance to other flows. The shapes the foam forms are reminiscent of vibrated non-Newtonian fluids like paint or oobleck. Momentum deforms the foam into sheets and ligaments smoothed and held together by surface tension until droplets snap free. You can find more of Meudell’s work at his site. (Image credits: L.

The Good Omens crew had, for the first time in history, received permission to film at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The scene was originally supposed to be the successful first week of Hamlet, with over 500 extras in costume, but the Good Omens team were only given 5 hours to film. They realised it was impossible to shoot, and so Douglas Mackinnon Neil Gaiman rewrote the entire scene and both agree it’s one of the best scenes in the series.
