Good Omens: Tennant & Sheen talk about the cost of fame
David Tennant talked about "losing a layer of skin" after reaching a level of fame. He spoke at a press event ahead of the launch of the adaptation of Terry Pratchett's novel Good Omens. David's Good Omens co-star Michael Sheen also shared a piece of advice he was told by Richard Harris, who played the original Dumbledore, when he first got into acting.
BBC, 29th May 2019Seat reserved for Terry Pratchett at world premiere
There was an empty seat in the front row when Good Omens had its world premiere in London on Tuesday. But that's not because organisers had trouble filling the gigantic (and newly reopened) Odeon in Leicester Square - quite the opposite, the event was packed out. In fact, a seat was deliberately kept vacant for Terry Pratchett, the co-writer of the original novel, who died in 2015.
BBC, 29th May 2019Good Omens review
Somewhere inside of Amazon's Good Omens lurks a delightful movie -- or at the very least, a decent one. You glimpse the outline of it by the middle of the third hour, about halfway through the six-episode run. That is the point at which it may occur to you that there's about 50% too much content distracting from the core strength of Neil Gaiman's latest series.

James Gill, Radio Times, 22nd May 2019Good Omens, episode 1 review
David Tennant and Michael Sheen's chemistry props up a wobbly apocalypse comedy.
Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 21st May 2019Neil Gaiman on the possibility of Good Omens series two
The author - who serves as showrunner on the Good Omens series - didn't totally rule out a second season, but suggested that there's only a slim possibility of more episodes.
Morgan Jeffrey, Digital Spy, 21st May 2019Good Omens review
The result is a hugely enjoyable, imaginative premiere, as close to Pratchett's vision as anyone could have dared dream. And while the melancholy tone may not be for everyone, fans of the book will surely be sated.
