Good Omens — Series 1: Episode 4 — Saturday Morning Funtime — A Review

1st July, 2019.

Yep: it’s been enough of a quiet day … 

To do a little shopping.



For practical stuff: rather than going on electronics.

I’m now expecting a tumble-dryer on Friday.

And more clothes … 



I don’t know about you, but I can only afford cheap stuff: which barely lasts for five minutes.

And means I end up spending more than someone who gets something of better quality … 

The good stuff lasts.



Hmm …



Remind me to tell you about Terry’s Pratchett’s boots theory.

Talking of which … ?



Did I tell you I watched more TV, tonight … ?

Yes … 

Good Omens … 

~≈¥≈~

Episode 4 — Saturday Morning Funtime — sees Newton Pulsifer (Jack Whitehall) heading for Tadfield in something of a mad dash: only to crash, when a Tibetan caused pothole opens in front of him.

Only to be rescued by Adam (Sam Taylor Buck), and the gang: who decide the best place to get help help for the injured Witchfinder?



Is with Tadfield’s resident witch, Anathema (Adria Arjona).

Whilst that’s happening in Tadfield?   London’s sees both Crowley and Aziraphale (David Tennant and Michael Sheen) in trouble with their respective bosses.

Crowley managing to fight his way out with a bucket of Holy Water …



And Aziraphale … ?



Vanishing in a puff of smoke … after a run in with Sergeant Shadwell of the Witchfinder Army.

Ever get the impression there’s going to be issues … ?

~≈¥≈~

Ever get the feeling I’m enjoying this series?

Oh, lord, yes.

Tonight’s episode being another good one.

One thing I did notice … ?



Was the scene — from the book — where a spokes-person for the electricity board is discussing the sherbet powered nuclear power station: getting pretty snotty with the interviewer in the process*.

The spokesman?

Was voiced by Paul Kaye: who’d played Pratchett in the Terry Pratchett: Back In Black.

That touch … ?



Made my evening.



Frankly?



I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more … 

*        I could be wrong, here.   But I know Sir Terry† was the press officer for Calder Hall, now part of Sellafield: and seem to recall an interview with Sir Terry, discussing what he called a relatively minor leak … and having to deal with a lot or excitable reporters …

†        I also recall him saying he’d seen his first dead body on his first day working as a reporter: back when, as he said, “… the phrase ‘on the job training’ really meant something.”
