Do you still work as a Professor of Arts? If so, whats the best thing about the job?

(Sorry if it is inaccurate info, the bit at the back of your Norse Mythology book said that you were and I wanted to ask.)

I still am. The nature of the job changes from year to year -- last year I gave five public lectures on writing at Bard...

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

will there be lesbians in good omens s3? I will set michael sheen on fire if not

There have never ever been any Lesbians in any Season of Good Omens and on orders from Lesbian Central we will obviously not be changing this for Season 3.

Will there be pigeons in season 3? I just feel like you can't go wrong with pigeons in season 3

That's up to the Pigeon Central Committee.

Hi Neil,

I have a very important question.

Will the budget for season 3 of good omens be high enough to get David Tennant back to play Crowley or will you be sticking with the five fennec fox’s again for season 3?

Why change a winning formula?

Is it just a major coincidence that the photos of you and Mr Pratchett almost always represent your characters Crowley and Aziraphale? Or were the characters based off of you two - honestly I wouldn't be surprised either way.

If we were going to be photographed together, Terry always tried to be wearing white. This was, he said, so that people would think he was the good one, and if anyone was going to get a brick through their window, it would be me, the one in black.

Many people, especially people who didn’t know Terry well, thought he was joking.
