(Dipping my toe somewhat gingerly back into UMRA)

When Aziraphale was casting an eye around the bookshop in search
of a new name for Gabriel and alighted on "Jim" my heart sank just a
tiny bit. Wouldn't it have been wonderful for him to spot a Walter Scott
novel and tell Gabriel his name was Walter? Other than that I am
thoroughly enjoying the new series and have even been dragged back to
Ambridge of late, somewhat against my will. Still grumpy, mind...

Welcome back Nigel. I have no idea what you’re on about. Wondering if
newstap hasn’t passed me emails.

I think Nigel may refer to the 2nd TV adaptation, with Michael Sheen and
David Tennant in the main roles, not yet available on free-to-air channels
(I'm sure the first series was).

We watched S 2, E 1 tonight and it was as good as S1. I loved that
the actor from Mad Men was in it too.

According to the Radio Times of about 3 weeks ago (the one with Good
Omens on the cover) the new series is based on a conversation that
Gaiman and Pratchett had in 1989 after the Good Omens book was finished
but before it came out. They were sharing a room at a convention in
Seattle but were too jet lagged to sleep, so spent all night plotting it
out. They were intending to write the sequel but as they were soon
living on opposite sides of the Atlantic it never happened, though they
did share further ideas about it at later dates.
