@@EterPuralisHe also apparently wears his prescription lenses UNDER the yellow ones! Sounds wonky and uncomfortable as hell. EDIT: From the FAQ page on Neil Gaiman's tumblr: "They were contacts in S1 and S2. He wore them over his prescription lens, and they were special weighted ones to keep them from rotating. They inevitably did sometimes spin, so CGI was used to fix it when that happened."
Yes !! And I'm surprised that he manages to still deliver excellent performances, because I would totally be walking into furniture all the time if I was in his place XDD
A more in depth one is the colour of the back room of the book shop is a very particular shade of yellow called Vavavoom. Not only is this the word Crowley uses for people in love, it also matches his eyes almost perfectly. Aziraphale uses this colour in absolutely every element he can, right down to the duster he gives ‘Jim’ to clean with- this poor sweet angel as completely obsessed with the colour of Crowleys eyes…I just can’t with this show! ❤❤❤
Did anyone else notice the apples behind Aziraphale when the Metatron was having a chat with him? Did it imply that Az. was being 'tempted' by the Metatron? Didn't notice until my 3rd viewing...
I can't imagine how hard it must be for David to act with those lenses! Never worn non-medical lenses myself but I know from friends who wear some when acting that it's horrible 😂 A friend of mine had a fully white lense in one eye because she played a half blind character and said she saw everything in 2D 😂
And he's not only wearing lenses most of the time, but also tinted glasses! I can't imagine how he's able to act so incredible while being half-blind to his surroundings and his co-actors' facial expressions^^'
While I’ve never had to deal with lenses like that, I am nearsighted and a theater kid. The only time I ever acted, I was an ensemble member part of like a monster menagerie thing, and we weren’t allowed to have glasses. Which was fine since I only had to do 2 scenes like that BUT I had to run down a flight of stairs, in the dark, and jump onto the stage. I tripped over other people and myself and ended that show with a bruise the size of damn california on my shins LMAO
Listen for The TARDIS when Aziraphale is talking to the man playing the harpsichord in GO2 episode 5. He promises him a Doctor Who annual and the background music gets Doctor Who-ish and you hear the TARDIS. Listen carefully. I freaked hearing that! Neil is a big Doctor Who fan too-- probably would have had a TARDIS somewhere if the BBC let him.
Easter eggs aside, Some of these shots have the whole street looking so teenie it absolutely makes me want to craft a diorama or DnD-esque mini scene. It's just that whimsical.
i can't believe i recognised her!! Aileen Faller, the costume supervisor. She appeared on the Graham Norton show and told a hilarious story about her on Christmas! I'm so happy to see her working in such a successful show!
Oh my goodness! I'm so happy someone else recognized her! I about squealed for joy! It's fantastic that she's a part of this (not for any special reason, just happy to see that she's doing well for herself) 😅)
How FUN!! I love looking for Easter eggs in films and this show will give me even more excuses to rewatch seasons 1 and 2 all over again and again....lol!
5:47 Earth is a Libra. Libra says Urgent Miracle. Now what, I wonder, does that mean? On a related note: Leo is lose a friend, Aquarius is Going Abroad, and Taurus is Going A Journey (sic). What do you want to bet that Crowley’s a Leo, and Aziraphale is an Aquarius or Taurus?
But they are both Libras, same as the world. When time started, that's the closest thing they have to a birthday. All angels, including Muriel who is seen as a 'young' angel, and the cherubs who are scared into behaving just like children, were made at the same time. If new ones could be made then Heaven would outnumber Hell.
@@demo2823 Well, actually Crowley and Aziraphale don't necessarily have to be Libras because they existed before the earth was created, we see that in the beginning of season 2 episode 1
@@aw-ht2vsEarth was created, in the Christian teology at least, only a few days later after the time started. I don't remember the exact date but probably it wouldn't change the zodiac sign.
@@tymondabrowski12 wow, I didn‘t know that. Thanks for the extra infos. That opens up some new questions for me though. If there are only a few days between the creation of the universe and the creation of earth, then a lot must have happened in this time (at least if we look at Good Omens) because Crowley and Saraquel created a whole Nebula and as a basis for that Crowley used a book with millions of pages. It probably took them a while to write that. And I think that designing the humans wasn’t done within a couple of days as well. Maybe Neil Gaiman(/Terry Pratchett) use a different timeline, I don’t know. Being an atheist myself I don’t know how much time lies between the creation of the earth and Eve eating the apple, but Crowley already was a demon, so the great war must‘ve happened by then. I don’t know how that could be squeezed in there somewhere, but if you know more, I‘d be curious to find out how it all fits together
I love that in the video about easter eggs the main easter egg is the sudden updates on the life of Aileen the lady who unintentionally scared a stranger into crashing their car.
The laudanum was supplied CMOT Dibbler. Crowley reading the Tadfield Advertiser newspaper. The book that makes a "Neato fan" for Jim was the colour of magic.
I liked seeing Roger Livesey on one of the posters - always remember the lovely voice on him from old movies when I was a kid. Keep noticing the Terry Pratchett extra in the crowd scenes too.
or...or...we just ASSUMED Crowley telling Azi "Can I drop you anywhere?" was him asking if he could drop Azi at the bookshop. But in light of this, that makes no sense, as the shop is two steps away. Perhaps...perhaps Crowley was asking Azi out to go for a drive/dinner in a much less subtle way than he thought. I mean ofc we did think Crowley asked that to spend more time with Azi, but in this context....it appears though he was being quite obvious not just to us but also Aziraphale. Maybe not in a romantic way, but in a 'I wanna spend more time with you, I need an excuse, can I drop you somewhere?' way. Azi knew exactly what he was saying when he says Crowley goes too fast. And "Dont look so disappointed" also makes much more sense knowing Crowley had sprung the question knowing the bookshop, the one obvious destination, was right across the street and out of question.
what I desperately want to know is the purpose of the close-up shot of the books Gabriel is organizing. We see it in the scene where he reads the first line of the Good Omens book, "It was a nice day." And for the life of me I can't figure it out. What the book titles are a reference to 😅
If you pause right then, there's a bit of trivia that reads "The Good Omens Book Club--Co-Showrunners Neil Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon would love for everyone to read these books. Douglas Mackinnon put these books in alphabetical order, starting with their first sentence."
I thought The Crow Road was a clue to something in season 3 since Muriel was reading it towards the end, Gabriel read the first sentence when organizing, and it's also shown in the title sequence. But the trivia also mentions that the author, Iain Banks, is a friend of Neil and Douglas
I picked up on Crowley ordering a Talisker and technically Aziraphale drives a yellow car! If there's a lemon hidden somewhere in the set I will scream
I was an SA on season 2 and one of my fellow SAs was the spitting image of Terry and was dressed just like him. It was kind of spooky but in a really nice way. I keep looking for him. He is in there somewhere.
As a die hard League of Gentlemen and Inside No 9 fangirl, I assure you that number 9 gives me a major squeeee moment! I didn't notice it before because my attention was so riveted on Reese. Lol I also lose it when Steve Pemberton and Mark Gatiss are on screen as well. I'm just such a massive fan of those three. Gotta go rewatch it so I can see the number 9! 😆
I had to wear dark glasses in some scenes for a costume in a play once (just found random props for the character because they were odd) and i couldn't see S**T, can't imagine that with contacts!
Easter Eggs are super fun and corky, but as a visually impaired fan, I miss out on them until they get spoken about. Oh and if you ever have to watch it with described video, you miss out on some good bits too.
Doctor Who fans! A ton of Doctor Who Easter eggs! Episode 5 of GO2 when Aziraphale is talking to the man playing the harpsichord he promises him a Doctor Who annual.Then listen closely as the background music changes to a kind of Doctor Who theme that gives way to the sound of the TARDIS!!! Not me being a fan touch the screen and it will say TARDIS.And of course Crowley is played by David Tennant. And he tries on a fez later on. Neil Gaiman loves Doctor Who.
Question: When Aziraphale serves Tea to the Inspector Constable, is the pattern on the tea cups named and/or significant? I tried to match it but my eyes aren't great. Help!
The coffee shop is called "Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death" which is a reference to the American phrase "Give me liberty or Give me death", hence the statue of liberty.

Poor David those lenses definitely restrict his vision and the glasses make it worse.
I doubt the lenses do much, considering literally none of your vision is located in your irises.

Also/or a reference to Tommy Cooper the magician-comic since Crowley was making magic passes over a crystal ball?

Same. It was the very first thing I thought.
Is the 'Dirty Donkey's name a nod to 'Bad Ass', in Terry Prachett's 'Discworld'-verse?
Wait that pleated shirt with the pattern is such a cute idea?? O__o
