Map of Soho Good Omens Season 2 - Part 1 (Location and general map)

Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Update: Map now identifies Lucky Snake and the coffee shop listed in Aziraphale's clipboard may indeed be Give Me Coffee I think we all have wondered how the GO Soho looks like and where it would be in real London. So using all the screenshots, BTS pictures and videos I could find I did my best to map out where things are. It is not to scale but everything I could see is there. I originally had all the pictures and explanations in this post but soon it became obvious it was going to be too long and impractical so I had to split it in different posts and I hope I got it right. The map has five reference points (circle with two diverging lines); imagine the circle is you, standing in the set, and the lines are your viewpoint if you were taking a picture from there. The left side of Whickber Street (#1 and #2) is in Part 2, the intersecting street (#3 and #4) is in Part 3 and the right half of Whickber Street (#5) is in Part 4.

As to where the bookshop would be in real London. We know that Whickber Street is supposed to be Berwick Street so let's start there. The intersecting street is not obvious from the show. In this post Neil said he imagines the bookshop to be where Gosh! Comics is (Peter Street) while Michael Ralph and Douglas McKinnon probably put it at The Week (on Broadwick Street). Because it is ambiguous and really you can do whatever you want, I just left it as "intersecting street". We know from the book that Crowley takes Wardour Street after the bookshop fire. Wardour is behind Berwick so in our map it would be where the Chinese Buffet Restaurant is, considering they run more or less parallel. On the other side, we have the Windmill Theatre located on Great Windmill Street. From Berwick St. and Peter St. it takes three minutes to walk to the theatre, it is that close! (yes, I know, Crowley was conducting business two blocks from the bookshop while not talking to Aziraphale for 80 years). I have never been in that part of London so I used Google Maps streetview and based only on that, I like the corner of Berwick St. and Broadwick St. better. It has the crooked intersection but the proximity of the theatre matches Peter St. better, so whatever works better for you!

There is one place missing from the set map though: Brown's World of Carpets! It is nowhere to be found, we simply don't know where it is My very personal headcanon is that it is nothing but a desk inside the furniture store. I find that idea of the guy most worried about storefront looks being the one without a storefront very amusing, but don't mind me, it is just my very silly hc XD Now, we know Aziraphale has a list for the shops he needs to visit. And we know he wrote it in alphabetical order which begs the question: Where is the Dirty Donkey?! Are they not invited? And what about the fabric shop? And Bilton Scaggs? Battye and Palm? The News Agency? Is "Mo Coffee? No Coffee?" supposed to be Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death? Or is there another coffee shop somewhere? @crow-bee23 suggested it could be "Me Coffee" which it is entirely possible, the full name is kind of long. So many questions to ask Mr. Brown.

Anyway, I put pictures and details on the shops in parts 2, 3 and 4. Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Z Cars - Thanks But... No Thanks (17 March 1975)

This latest episode of Z Cars broadcast on Talking Pictures TV written by Allan Prior is something of a departure from most other episodes shown so far in that it's a character tale mostly focused on PC Quilley (Douglas Fielding) instead of focusing on a crime or a situation that the Newtown police need to deal with. There is still a criminal that needs to be dealt with, but police business is very much secondary this time.

Quilley faces a possible promotion to sergeant and his interview with a board of chief constables is coming up. He's been trying to catch a thief (Ian Redford) who's been stealing car radios, but each time the thief has managed to get away from him. He manages to identify the culprit from a mugbook, but at the police station he claims to be the brother of the criminal and so Quilley has to let him go.

Quilley is also in a relationship with fellow officer WPC Howarth (Stephanie Turner), but the fact they're co-habiting is known by Inspector Lynch (James Ellis) who warns Quilley that unless he ditches or marries her, the relationship will not be looked on favourably by the board. Quilley does propose to Howarth, but she turns him down.

Before continuing, I would like to mention that the relationship between Quilley and Howarth does not appear to be something that's appeared in previous episodes shown by Talking Pictures TV and I wonder if more of their relationship was shown in some of the episodes that TPTV have skipped over, the fact their relationship has developed to the point they're co-habiting and opening talking about marriage came as a surprise to me. Regardless of how surprising it is, the scenes between Quilley and Howarth alone are really well played by Fielding and Turner, with Howarth sensitively explaining why she feels a marriage to Quilley would not work.

Eventually, the day of Quilley's interview with the board comes, but having finally managed to arrest the thief the night before and attend court in the morning, he arrives at the interview in less than perfect condition and seems to struggle with the questions put to him by the chief constables, who don't seem to appreciate his attitude and occasional straight talking either - "Bloody bolshy" as one of them (Howell Evans) describes him.

As a change of pace, this episode works well and I really appreciate how well-characterized Quilley and Howarth are in this episode with their relationship and their different personalities being very interesting. Lynch gets a few moments to shine too, supporting Quilley with his interview coming while also being firm with him and Howarth on his dissatisfaction with their co-habitation.

The only flaws I have with this episode are that the sub-plot with the battered woman (Susan Dury) seems entirely pointless and only seems to exist to provide a bit of activity during the police station scenes while Michael Bilton seems miscast as the chair of the board at Quilley's interview and doesn't seem credible as a serious police chief constable, though admittedly this is mainly due to my association of Bilton with the rather comical Old Ned from the sitcom To the Manor Born.

Overall however, Thanks But... No Thanks is another solid episode of Z Cars that does a great job of focusing on Quilley's character and proves that the characters in the show are a very interesting bunch who are one of the many reasons why I am finding the reruns of the show on Talking Pictures TV so enjoyable.

Foundation: Why Isaac Asimov’s Estate Approved Modernizing the Sci-Fi Classic

https://ift.tt/3EKbwIq

This article contains no spoilers for Foundation.

We live in an era when classic works of literature that were once thought to be “unfilmable” — particularly in the realms of sci-fi and fantasy — are now actually coming to the screen. Chief among those, and certainly a crown jewel in the annals of science fiction, is Foundation, an epic series of stories and novels by legendary writer Isaac Asimov that spans thousands of years of future galactic history.

Premiering on Apple TV+ with a 10-episode first season, Foundation begins with the story of Hari Seldon (played by Jared Harris), a mathematician who develops a science called psychohistory, with which he can predict large-scale patterns in history and human behavior. Not surprisingly, Seldon’s prediction that the vast Galactic Empire will collapse into a 30,000-year period of barbarism doesn’t sit well with the Cleons, clones of the original emperor, Cleon 1, who have ruled the galaxy for more than 400 years.

Seldon’s plan is to establish the Foundation, a repository of knowledge that can help cut the coming dark ages down to 1,000 years. The Cleons allow him to proceed, but banish him and his followers to a distant planet called Terminus where they will set up the Foundation. Key to Seldon’s plan are a brilliant young woman named Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobel), his adopted son Raych (Alfred Enoch) and, years later, Salvor Hardin (Leah Harvey), the warden and protector of the colony on Terminus.

Series creator/showrunner David S. Goyer — known to fans for writing the original Blade trilogy, co-writing the screenplays or stories for the Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel, creating Da Vinci’s Demons for TV and much more — tells Den of Geek that he had been approached in the past about adapting Foundation as a feature film, but finally jumped at the opportunity to develop it in the present era of long-form streaming. But that doesn’t mean Foundation wasn’t difficult to adapt anyway.

“The original novel or series of short stories was written in the late ‘40s, early ‘50s,” he says. “So the key was identifying the core themes and figuring out, okay, that was what Asimov was writing about in a post-World War II environment. What’s the world like today and how can we apply what’s happening today to the metaphors of Foundation now?”

Other roadblocks to adapting Foundation in the past (which has defeated filmmakers such as Roland Emmerich and Jonathan Nolan, who were developing it for Columbia Pictures and HBO respectively at different points) were the vast leaps in time that the books make as well as their generally cerebral, complex nature. But Goyer had other concerns.

“I thought the harder aspect was making it emotional,” he explains. “The books aren’t known, per se, for being emotional, but with television, people tune in for emotion and characters. So I had to figure out ways of taking Asimov’s themes and embodying them into characters that could express those themes, through love, through their relationships with their parents and children, and so forth.”

One solution to that — and to updating Foundation for audiences in the 21st century — was to make alterations to a number of the major characters, like Salvor, Gaal and the Cleons’ android right hand person Eto Demerzel (Laura Birn), almost all of whom are male in Asimov’s books. But Goyer says he first wanted to make sure his proposed changes met with the approval of the late Asimov’s daughter Robyn and the Asimov literary estate.

How Foundation Brings the Asimov Novels to Life on Apple TV+

By Michael Ahr

TV

Is Foundation Apple’s Answer to Star Wars?

By Michael Ahr

“The first question that I posed to the Asimov estate was, given that this was written in a post-World War II environment, where there were virtually no speaking female characters in the first book, where very few members of the science fiction community or readers were women, was, ‘We’re going to be doing this for an audience of today and I want the characters in the show to reflect our audience. How do you feel about gender swapping some of the characters?’” he recalls. “Robyn Asimov and the estate completely embraced it. They said that Asimov himself would have embraced that and they were absolutely comfortable with that.”

Goyer also made other, extensive changes to the narrative, such as creating the Cleons (who are played at various ages by Lee Pace, Terrence Mann and Cassian Bilton) and developing storylines that would add the kind of action, intrigue and space opera necessary to keep audiences involved for 10 hours. Goyer says that every step of the way the Asimov estate was on board.

“Look, I grew up on these books, I revered the books,” says Goyer, whose introduction to Foundation and sci-fi came at a young age through his estranged father. “Like a lot of people, Asimov meant a lot to me. A lot of people have a very personal relationship to the original Foundation trilogy — it’s kind of this hallowed piece of work. It was important to me that Robyn and the estate felt like we were doing Asimov’s work justice and that we understood what the themes were about.”

He adds that the estate and Robyn Asimov were “very happy” after reading the first two scripts and seeing the first two episodes: “We felt that we had embraced everything that was important about Foundation and changed the things that, they felt as well, had to be updated for the time.”

The irony of this, even some 60 years after the first Foundation novel was published, is that Goyer sees the overall story, subject matter and themes as more relevant and prescient than ever.

Apple TV+

“I started on this project three years ago,” he says. “Certainly climate change was something that people were talking about, but it hadn’t reached this critical juncture where we’re at now. We weren’t involved in a global pandemic and we weren’t involved in this crazy factionalism and this rise of nationalism that we’re seeing.”

Goyer says that it took him several readings over the years for the books to finally grab hold of him, and that he also passed on adapting it for the big screen twice before. So what made this the right time? “Now that I’m a father, I find myself thinking a lot more about what the world of tomorrow will be like, what the legacy that we leave our children and grandchildren will be,” he responds.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

“That’s a lot more important to me now than it was before I was a father,” Goyer continues. “A lot of those themes carry through in the books, but also in our show. It’s kind of about, what are you willing to sacrifice now, so that future generations, our children and grandchildren, will be able to live in a world that’s as amazing as the world we live today? What is today willing to give up for tomorrow?”

The first two episodes of Foundation premiere Friday (September 24) on Apple TV+, with future episodes debuting weekly.

Balloonatics Bloomsday 2020 - what’s happening?

While the Balloonatics are unable to bring the words of James Joyce to the streets this Bloomsday, you can still enjoy Joyce in performance in your own home. 

The Balloonatics have just released Circe Splice a 15 minute audio drama, recorded in isolation, and based on a sequence from Chapter 15 of Ulysses. Click here to listen - and for the full effect, plug in your headphones to join Bloom in Nighttown, as he faces a nightmarish trial, receives the results of an intimate medical examination, and is taunted and threatened - amidst the rattle of trams, the chirp of the cuckoo clock and the exhortations of Elijah. 

EVENTS ON BLOOMSDAY TUESDAY 16 JUNE

LIVE EVENT: GENTLE SUMMER MORNING 

For the early Zoom slot on Bloomsday, 8-10 am, Paul O’Hanrahan invites you to a reading from the morning Bloom chapters, ‘Calypso’ and ‘Lotus-Eaters’, with intervals at suitable junctures for readings by participants of gobbets from the Stephen episodes, ‘Telemachus’ and ‘Nestor’. These pairs of chapters from Ulysses are set at the same time so it will be an experiment in approximate parallelism! Just click Awake for Bloom to join.  

Awake for Bloom, hosted by Michael O’Kelly, will be open all day for virtual Bloomsday participants to listen to, read and discuss all things Joyce.  

LIVE EVENT: HUMID NIGHTBLUE FRUIT 

Join the Balloonatics at 8pm on Bloomsday for Humid Nightblue Fruit, an evening of virtual readings and performances hosted by Paul O’Hanrahan in Dublin, with Mick Greer in Lisbon, and Paul Dornan, Chris Bilton and John Goudie in London. The dramatised readings by Balloonatics will be followed by readings from the Joyce Institute of Ireland and other special guests. You can register for your free ticket and get the Zoom link in advance here. 

And click here to listen to Stephen Dedalus reflecting on Sandymount Strand on the morning of June 16th. Walking to Eternity by Paul O’Hanrahan is a complete reading of episode 3 of Ulysses, ‘Proteus’. Often considered challenging, this version aims to show its variety and lyricism. It is part of the Joyce Centre Bloomsday Festival programme.

Good Omens Easter eggs/easily missed moments, EP 6.

1. Pepper’s line “I believe in peace, bitch” is a Tori Amos reference. It’s a line from her song Waitress. Tori Amos and Neil Gaiman have been friends for over 30 years.

2. Aziraphale & Crowley are literally an angel & demon on Adam’s shoulders.

3. The shop to the right of Aziraphale’s shop is called ‘Bilton Scaggs: Hats & Caps’, in the book Bilton & Scaggs is an unlucky publishing firm, who amongst other publishing disasters also happened to publish ‘The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch’. On Instagram Neil Gaiman said that in his personal headcanon “the publisher next door went out of business in the 1890s, and the milliner who moved in couldn't afford a new shop sign. So it became Bilton and Scaggs Milliner & Haberdasher. And then, around 1965, they became Bilton Scaggs, and have remained such ever since. And only Aziraphale knows where the name comes from.”

4. An early clue to the body-swap is “Crowley” walking normally.

5. Another clue is that he says ‘tickety-boo’ when ambushed by the other demons.

6. The fact that Aziraphale buys actual clothes, and keeps them nicely forever, as apposed to Crowley just manifesting the trendy clothes of the era, will give a further clue here, as “Crowley” has taken off his clothes, so not to ruin them.

7. This is the Sky Garden in London, a fact I found nice, given the show’s theme of gardens.

8. Both David Tennant and Michael Sheen are doing brilliant impersonations of each other’s characters here, in both posture and voice.

9. Not easily missed but I wanted to include it.

Their masterpiece is complete… An exploration capturing the inherent beauty of the human form. The Tasteful Nudes Exhibition includes 50+ creatives and is a celebration of the sensual, the subtle, and the sensory aspects of the human form.

Innuendo is a collaborative exhibition of artwork and goods featuring playful allusions to the lewd and salacious. The 80 featured artists have come together for Light Grey Art Lab’s yearly swap event, in which each artist creates enough of their chosen artwork or object to share with their fellow exhibitors.

Tinder Swindler, Simon Leviev may face prison in Spain after an arrest warrant was issued for the Netflix conman. Leviev, born Shimon Hayut, has already served time in his native Israel after being arrested for using a false passport in Greece. The Tinder Swindler’s use of a fake passport in Greece saw him extradited to Israel in 2019 where he faced charges for fraud, theft, and forgery. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison but only served five months in the end after being released for good behaviour. According to Mail Online, the 31-year-old is being probed over the use of a fake driving licence after getting his £80,000 Maserati stuck on a Spanish beach during a day out with a mystery Russian blonde. He told cops he was a holidaymaker called Michael Bilton and according to police, produced the false licence in one of the aliases he is known to have used. A police officer specialised in spotting falsified documents identified the bogus diamond trader, who met women on Tinder before allegedly conning them out of millions, as the wealthy Costa tourist after watching the hit Netflix show. Cops have now asked a court in the southern Spanish port city of Algeciras to reopen a criminal investigation against the man they now know to be Leviev after it was launched against Bilton. Leviev, who is believed to be dating Israeli model Kate Konlin, has denied swindling the women he met on Tinder out of any money and insists he is a legitimate businessman who made his fortune by investing in Bitcoin. #simonleviev #tinderswindler #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqpuJXLb7Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
