Quick note to say I wasn't completely aware of the proper pronouns for Muriel when I filmed this. That being said, I try my best to respect everyone's pronouns and any mistakes are not at all intentional. I struggle mainly with applying they/them and shows like this are a big help in rewiring this old brain of mine. 🫶
It’s totally okay, the show doesn’t tell you their pronouns after all, it was like the marketing for most of us. Also the same applies for Beelzebub, they go by they/them too.
That's probably why Crowley was going totally ballistic over the car being yellow. Not only because Aziraphale changed the color of Crowley's property without asking him, but yellow is likely the LAST color he would ever want it changed to.
So the Bentley is sentient and loves Aziraphale as much as Crowley, hence adjusting for him in much the same way as it did for Crowley in season 1 when it set itself on fire for him 😔 poor baby is a child of divorce
I don't think the Bentley set itself on fire for Crowley; rather it forced itself to keep driving after it went through literal hellfire and not explode until it got Crowley to Tadfield (though that was in part due to Crowley's power of imagination).
After stopping Elspeth from killing herself, Crowley was dropped back into Hell for quite a few years, as the next time we see him (chronologically) is at St James' Park (the conversation about the Holy water) He is carrying a cane, (which he doesn't do at any other time in the show) so it reasonable to assume that Hell gave him a good beating for doing good. 😢😢
@@ChachiSays Thanks! Again, others on FB noticed it, but it is so sad. Poor Babygirl gets it from both sides and takes it to protect his Angel. He loves Zira so much. ♥️😭
Re: resurrectionist. At the time there was a lot of belief in "the resurrection of the body" at the end of time. That the souls of the dead would be joined with their bodies again and live in Heaven. This is a good part of why wee Morag thinks grave robbing is wrong. If the body had been cut apart for study, then it couldn't be rejoined with the soul. Grave robbers were called resurrectionists because they literally "raised the dead" out of their graves.
The Too Late bit was in the book; I think it refers to being damned. Crowley's fancy watch: "This watch gave the time in twenty world capitals and in a capital city in Another Place, where it was always one time, and that was Too Late." And once you are damned, it's always too late, haha.
The Bentley changed to yellow because Aziraphale was thinking about Crowley's eye color! Lol RIP wee Morag. I loved your reaction to this episode. One of my faves! Laudenum was an opiate based medicine that was used as poison as well back then.
Aziraphale is such a paradox....he has enough compassion to try and save Gabriel, who tried to kill him, but judges that poor woman for trying to survive, says money is irreleant (which means her hunger and suffering are irrelevant) and never thinks to use a miracle to help her.
Well there are a couple hundret years between these. Aziraphale Was still learning the duality of morals and not thinking in black and white. Yeah,he could have used a miracle but he was Sure (and kinda manipulated into thinking) that she could find an 'appropriate' way out of poverty because again, that's what he has been thaught. Aziraphale now adays would act differently than he did back then Bacause of what he learned over the years.
Im pretty sure something happened between aziraphale and heaven before the episode in edinburgh. We see him going directly against god in the job minisode, literally one episode before this, which shows that he technically knows Heaven can be wrong. Sure theres many thousands of years between job and edinburgh, but the arrangement is also already established at the time him and crowley are in edinburgh so he's still performing temptations on the side and going against heaven. I can imagine heaven found something out and punished him for it somehow and now hes really back on their propaganda just to be on the safe side. Obviously we cant know for sure - it just seems weird to me that he would switch between those extremes and i think there has to be a reason he's sometimes more on heavens "side" than other times and cant really imagine any other reason than Heaven threatening him/crowley and him
Loved your reaction. :D I think Crowley is acting so weird after drinking the Laudenum is because it made him very drunk. Laudenum contains a high percentage of alcohol.
I looked up the equivalent of 90 guineas (a British coin minted from the mid-17th century to 1813 worth 20 shillings) in today's money--it's almost $35,000.
Older British person comment here: this episode was partly written by John Finnamore who wrote a radio series called Cabin Pressure (very good) with a yellow car segment. So the car is yellow as a easter egg to Cabin Pressure fans. To understand this series a knowledge of co writer Johns work is useful for Easter eggs.
The Companion to Owls (the minisode about Job) was also written by John Finnemore, and I caught a few references to Cabin Pressure there. Like "Well, technically you can... Good! Then technically I will!")))
I love the head a in that yellow is the color is Crowley’s eyes and that’s why he likes it. But I think Aziraphale did it to amuse other drivers and the color car game. Yellow is probably one of the more difficult cars to find on the road lol
I so wish that we could have an ongoing series that was nothing but Crowley and Aziraphael's adventures through history; that would be too much fun! Like Dr. Who, but with magic and a bit of mythology, and the slowest of slow burns. Of course, if Neil wrote every episode, at least 50% of them would include graveyards and/ or dead bodies. Never quite understood his adoration of both. I go running in the huge graveyard at the end of my street every morning because it's nice and quiet, and the roads in it are nicely maintained, but I can't say that it's terribly interesting outside of occasional wildlife encounters. :shrug:
Hi Chachi! Another hilarious video, thank you! Did you get the reference? Why did Aziraphale make the car yellow? Yellow is his favourite colour. Why? What colour are Crowley's eyes? ❤❤❤
@azbycx737 It was confirmed that the shade of yellow paint that the set designers used for the bookshop was literally called "va-va-voom", so I've decided to consider the yellow-for-crowley's-eyes thing as good as confirmed lmao
So doing a little research (and a few conversions), the 90 guineas in Aziraphale's pocket would be worth around £10,250 today. That's a nice chunk of change to have in one's purse.
Neil Gaiman says the Bentley loves Aziraphale awww. I find the story of wee Morag and her GF so sad! We don't know the gender of Nina's partner. Lindsay could be a man or woman ...
A bit interesting how Crowley shrinks down to a couple of inches, then grows to giant size, then goes back to his normal 6'1... and his clothes stay on him the whole time. (Damn... I mean, good.... )
Oof, we get bodies being chopped up for science, unable to be reunited with their souls….and then Gabriel is saying there will come a tempest, when the dead shall rise and walk about the earth once more …so much Christian mythology coming thick and fast!!
Although a lot of people think Crowley was dragged down to Hell for years, Aziraphale's diary entry says that he is telling this story about a month after the events, and that he did not see Crowley for quite some time after the events, which would mean he had seen Crowley before writing the entry; hence, Aziraphale would have seen Crowley less than a month after he was dragged into the ground, and, also, less than a month was a long time not to see Crowley during this period. (Or the writer messed up, but going for a Watsonian interpretation.)

How would one know though?
It’s the thought that counts! Thank you for trying, I know it can be tough to rewire the brain.
I dont think tge pronouns were ever mentioned, but I could be wrong
It’s totally okay, the show doesn’t tell you their pronouns after all, it was like the marketing for most of us.

Neil has said they/she so you're still good
Azi about yellow car: "But it's pretty ):"
Crowley's eyes: the exact same yellow
this is my favorite episode of season 2 purely because David Tennant was allowed to fully unleash the Scottish beast inside him and it was incredible
Notice that Aziraphale changed the Bentley to the color of Crowley’s eyes, and then said it’s pretty…🥹 (the back room in his bookshop is also yellow!)
That's probably why Crowley was going totally ballistic over the car being yellow. Not only because Aziraphale changed the color of Crowley's property without asking him, but yellow is likely the LAST color he would ever want it changed to.

That car looks beautiful in yellow, and I will die on that hill.

Aww, good catch on that detail. Poor Crowley, he gets so much grief from both sides 😟
@@ChachiSays Thanks! Again, others on FB noticed it, but it is so sad. Poor Babygirl gets it from both sides and takes it to protect his Angel. He loves Zira so much. ♥️😭
Also that explains why he is so eager to have the holy water as an "insurance".
Except that this was a scene from season one, in which they didn’t know they were going to let this happen to Crowly in the past….
@@colettepot7350 Ah true, but when you add them together into an overall timeline ..

Actually we have seen Muriel (the police angel) before - she was the one who found the matchbox in 2x01
I love her, they're so cute
They were also the same angel who verified that Crowley's permit was all in order.
Loved your reaction. :D I think Crowley is acting so weird after drinking the Laudenum is because it made him very drunk. Laudenum contains a high percentage of alcohol.
Thank you! This confused me because I read it only as a poison but the alcohol explains the goat impressions and Alice in Wonderland trippy-ness 😆
It's tincture of opium with alcohol@@ChachiSays
That's why he said he "wasn't being nice, he was just off his head on laudanum."

We saw Muriel previously in the Job episode. Being a scrivener, they checked out the Satan-God bet contract for Aziraphale.

Well, we've only seen where the angels work on the show. Where the humans go is probably better.

just thought you should know that muriel goes by they/them pronouns :)
I love the fact that the bentley never plays what crowley wants, it just plays queens, but w aziraphale it plays classical music bc he likes it
