    The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse are indeed in Good Omens, joined by the Four ( Big Ted, Pigbog, Greaser and Scuzz.)

    As for Sir C, I suspect he is plotting the End of Times now. I believe he is down to his last 40 bottles of wine
    I didn't watch it. I saw a glimpse and it all seemed a bit CGI. I think with things like that, unless they spend an absolute fortune, it's better to leave it to the imagination with book or radio.

    On the radio, the voice of Crowley was, well, I was gonna say divine, but I suppose I should just say stunning. Sounded just like I imagined Crowley would.

    Also, Adam/Damian's dad was played by Arthur Dent.

    Yes, there is a touch of Crowley about C. But he's not turned up today. Maybe the 4 horsemen have turned up with Famine and Plague riding pillion, looking for the two lost horses. Poor lad could have trouble explaining that away to four irate demons.

    But if they turn up just before the 2ndd Coming, does that mean Bergkamp's coming back to us?

    Crowley on the radion was Peter Serafinowicz - truly exceptional voice for radio. And Mark Heap was Azarephale - also one of my favourite actors

    Agreed about his voice. Anything else you liked him in, off the top of your head? I could have a gander on YouTube.

    They really have got the look of a Cockney pub with two barmen and the regular talking together.

    Btw, in the first episode the police sniper shoots two innocent people. A bit like in 4 Lions during the marathon.

    Genuine question. Do they ever use that trope in US telly and film comedies?

    What I'm sort of asking is if the Yanks can't make jokes about police shooting innocent people because it actually happens. It probably wouldn't be funny to viewers seeing police shoot innocent blacks. But do they ever do it even with white victims? I don't really watch US films or tv but I did as a kid and I never remember that being done, despite it being quite common in GB comedy.

    I know this is a stupid question, but I'm just trying to work something out.

    btw, which of the barmen is Crowley? The fat, slow one or the other one.
