Ler maisAn overwhelming favourite among those who voted this year! Based on a fantasy fiction novel by Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens is a six-part drama series, written by Neil Gaiman and directed by Douglas Mackinnon about a Demon and an Angel’s efforts to prevent the end of the world. Good Omens stars an ensemble cast, led by Michael Sheen and David Tennant, with Miranda Richardson, Michael McKean, Jack Whitehall, Jon Hamm and Frances McDormand among the many stars in supporting roles.Set in present day England, the series follows a fussy angel, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and a loose-living Demon, Crowley, (David Tenant), who’s shared fondness for life on earth sees them form an unlikely alliance to stop Armageddon. Aziraphale and Crowley team up to try and save the world from the anti-Christ – an unsuspecting 11-year-old boy, living in rural Oxfordshire. A great story that explores some very big ideas and some big themes without ever losing its sense of the absurd.

Michael discusses Quiz, Good Omens, Prodigal Son, fans and being a father for the second time at 50. Read more:
Ler maisLOS ANGELES—Michael Sheen has played Prime Minister Tony Blair, TV broadcaster icon David Frost and renowned human sexuality researcher William Masters, but the role he enjoys reprising these days is that of a father.
It has been 20 years since Michael became a first-time dad when he and Kate Beckinsale had Lily Mo Beckinsale-Sheen. Last September, the English actor returned to playing one of his favorite roles—a father—to Lyra, his daughter with Swedish actress Anna Lundberg.
“It’s been 20 years since I did this,” Michael confirmed in a video call about becoming a dad again at age 51.
“To be a new dad with a little baby in lockdown as well is a very particular experience,” said the Golden Globe nominee for the TV drama series, “Masters of Sex.” “It’s been great because it means that her routine comes first. I know a lot of people have been saying since the lockdown that routine is such an important thing because otherwise, you end up living in your pajamas all day, not doing anything. But, of course, she has a routine that has to be stood by, so she dictates what happens in the day.
During an ‘Author Live Series’ hosted by Amazon Live, in which Neil Gaiman and David Tennant discussed the TV adaptation of Good Omens, Michael appeared with a pre-recorded question to Gaiman. You can watch it here from 12min49.
