One of my favourite books, by two of my favourite authors, Neil Gaiman (r) and the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett (l), is coming to the small screen, courtesy of Amazon Prime, in 2019. The trailer looks like the mayhem I imagined as I read the book - can I wait? Gonna havta...
The end is nigh. #GoodOmens: Coming to Prime Video in 2019. Based on the best-selling novel by renowned authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, this series ...

@pgntwo I also searched and I found several photos of the three-wheeler Reliant Robin vehicle.

@LadyDuck The most famous one on British TV is a dirty yellow one, with the logo "Trotter's Independent Trading Co. New York Paris. Peckham" on the side...

The book and the screenplay will doubtless be at odds with each other, for the sake of continuity. Shadwell, the Witchfinder General and Agnès Nutter, the witch, will be interesting characters for development. I think it was Shadwell, there is a glimpse of his three-wheeler Reliant Robin vehicle near the start of the trailer.

The original writing team for the book is now down to half its original number - but from what I hear, that remaining half has been very involved in the production process... It can only be good.

@Courage7 I hope you like it. I hope also the book is not misrepresented - already the UK release back in the 90s differs from the subsequent release onto the US market, with an alternate ending to explain why the US Ambassador's son was not, as it turns out, the real anti-christ.

Ozzy Osbourne finally made a movie or series. I am in, or count me in.

I should say so, if it doesn't get the backs of anybody up because of the topic/subject matter...!

Ah well, I haven't spent a weekend chopping up fallen (gum?) trees and carted the logs home in a trailer either, so we're quits.

@pgntwo I think I sort of promised you I would so one day I'll get around to it. Someone gave us a 'round tuit' once but it didn't help much.
