'Diverting... pleasurable... entertaining' New York Times

'Relevant and fresh... Good Omens still has a lot to say about the world' Empire

'Even if you're very familiar with the original novel, this is a different experience... so damned charming and quirky that it feels like a must' Starburst

Neil Gaiman's glorious reinvention of the iconic bestseller Good Omens, adapted from the internationally beloved novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, launched on Amazon Prime Video this year to great acclaim. Soon to be shown on the BBC, the series is written and show-run by Neil himself and stars David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm, and Miranda Richardson, to name but a few.

Before he died, Terry Pratchett asked Neil Gaiman to make a television series of the internationally beloved novel they wrote together about the end of the world.

What followed was almost... ineffable. Over six glorious episodes, Neil brought an angel, Aziraphale, and a demon, Crowley, (the only things standing between us and the inevitable Armageddon) to life in some of the most extraordinary television ever made.

Here you will find the scripts that Neil wrote, containing much that is new and revelatory and even several scenes throughout that never made the final cut. For the very first time, this edition collects all the missing bits - from a certain Other Four Horsemen to a little demonic shopping trip - and reveals the secrets of the show, which, by its very nature, is known to ask for the impossible.

Step backstage and see the magic for yourself.

This edition of The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book contains an introduction by Neil Gaiman about bringing Good Omens to the screen and all cut scenes

The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book is praised for capturing the absurd and delightful essence of the original story, largely due to Neil Gaiman's adaptation and his role as showrunner. The project is seen as a heartfelt tribute to Terry Pratchett, fulfilling a promise to bring their collaborative vision to life. Fans of the original novel can appreciate the series' dedication to preserving the love and unique charm of the book, with contributors like director Douglas Mackinnon expressing enthusiasm and commitment upon experiencing the script.
