Busting A Common Misconception

How Americans think British people spend their Saturday:

7AM: Wake up. Get dressed. Don't brush teeth. 7:30AM: Eat a flavourless buttered crumpet or scone for breakfast, with a cup of tea. 8AM: Gardening. 10AM: Read a quaint little story book, with a cup of tea. 11AM: Snack time. 12PM: Quaint little picnic in the countryside with jam sandwiches and a jolly good cup of tea. 1PM: Get in to some mild slapstick antics. 2PM: Cup of tea. 5PM: More important cup of tea. 6PM: Watch Doctor Who. 7PM: Bed time.

How British people typically spend their Saturday:

1100: Wake up. Knock back some painkillers and eat the cold leftover vindaloo and poppadoms from Friday night. 1105: Spew it back out both ends. Remember you slept in your kecks. Peel them off, go back to spewing out both ends. 1200: Rinse mouth with water. Brush teeth. 1230: Eat a biscuit to see if it stays down. 1300: It stayed down. Time for the hangover cure. Another painkiller and a fry-up, wash it down with a can of lager. 1400: It didn't stay down. 1500: Get dressed. Potter about a bit. Glare at people. Have a few cans. 1730: Bit lonely, see mates at the pub, have a bit of a drink. 1800: Getting a bit tipsy, order some bar food, get another round in. 1900: My round ag ain 2000: t hats my be err tHAt ons yurs 2300: ?? ??? 0000: darts? 0300: i could fckin murder a vindaloo 0330: wash it down with a lager 0500: is this my bed?

Hi Neil,

I just saw this post where someone zoomed in on Aziraphale's face and it looks a lot like he's holding a bullet in his teeth

Does Aziraphale have a bullet in his teeth?!?!?

is this intentional?!?!?

please, tell us

I can't put the link to the post here but there is research, there is a slow motion video.

Thank You

Aziraphale has a bullet between his teeth at all points in Good Omens Season 1 and 2, except during the actual bullet catch sequence in Season 2 episode 4, when he has either a small fish or an enormous diamond between his teeth...

Despite being referred to as a “raven” multiple times in the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman’, the character of Matthew is too small to be a raven. When taking a closer look at footage of Matthew, it becomes apparent that instead of being played by an actual raven, Matthew is played by a haggis suspended by wires from the ceiling.
