Now available on BBC iPlayer (free).
Dermot might enjoy a group showing at the local hq of god.

'This fantasy series sees fussy angel Aziraphale and loose-living demon Crowley team up to form an unlikely duo. The two have become overly fond of life on Earth, and they are forced into forming an alliance in an attempt to stop the approaching Armageddon. To do that, they have to find the missing Antichrist, an 11-year-old boy who is unaware that he is meant to bring the end of days upon humanity. Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Jon Hamm star in the series, which is based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.'

I stumbled upon episode 3 by chance the other night, and carried on watching to see if I could make head or tail of it, and will now have to go back to the beginning and watch it all...I may even get the book :-)

Crowley refers to Alistair Crowley.

I did think it might be Rollo. :-)

The book, as with all Terry Pratchett's books, initially starts off a little seriously before descending into hilarious mayhem.

I have all his books, with the exception of Nanny Ogg's Cookbook.

Thanks Rollo.

If I wasn't so busy down at the local street market situated outside the high-walled prison trying to sell blunt paper-knives to aggressive early released prisoners in my attempt to quell murdering stabbings hereabouts, I'd take some quality time to cogitate on the delicate conundrum.
