Joining via a video link from New York, the writer appeared on a sizable video screen that hung above director Douglas Mackinnon (“Sherlock”), and exec producers Rob Wilkins, a longtime collaborator with Pratchett, and BBC Studios’ Chris Sussman, who were there in the flesh. Gaiman was speaking at a “Good Omens” session at the BBC Studios Showcase event in Liverpool. “That stuff allowed us to actually solve some of the problems involved in putting it on television – the fact that we have Jon Hamm as the impossibly irritating angel Gabriel is something from the sequel we slid back in – the relationship between heaven and hell, where we keep going back and forth between these two appalling places,” he said. He said he had used a lot of material that the pair had discussed as going into possible sequels to the “Good Omens” novel in the TV series. Gaiman said he missed being able to call Pratchett, as he had during the writing of the book, to talk through the project as it took life.
