IT'S HILL AIRIOUS.
>> IT'S A FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN AN
ANGEL AND DEMON.
>> IT BEGINS ALL THE WAY BACK AT
THE BEGINNING WITH SHEEN
WONDERING IF HE MADE A MISTAKE
BY GIVING ADAM AND EVE A SWORD
AFTER THEY WERE KICKED OUT OF
THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
>> I HOPE I DIDN'T DO THE WRONG
THING.
>> OH, YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN DO THE
WRONG THING.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
OH, THANK YOU.
IT'S BEEN BOTHERING ME.
>> I HAVE BEEN WORRYING, TOO.
WHAT IF I DID THE RIGHT?THING
A DEMON CAN GET IN A LOT OF
TROUBLE BY DOING THE RIGHT
THING.
IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF WE BOTH GOT
IT WRONG, IF I DID THE GOOD
THING AND YOU DID THE BAD ONE.
>> NO.
>> MICHAEL SHEEN, DAVID TENNANT
WITH US THIS MORNING AS WELL AS
JON HAMM, WHO PLAYS THE ANGEL
GABRIEL IN THE SERIES.
THIS IS FUNNY.
HERE IS THE THING.
IT'S NOT THE APOCALYPSE, BUT
IT'S THIS BUDDY COMEDY BETWEEN
AN ANGEL AND DEMON.
>> THEY SHOULD BE ON OPPOSITE
SIDES.
THEY HAVE SORT OF COME TO LOVE
EACH OTHER.
>> CELESTIAL COUPLE.
THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SO LONG,
SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN, THEY
HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH
HUMANITY AND THE WORLD AND A
LITTLE BIT WITH EACH OTHER.
>> THEY QUITE LIKE THE MORTAL
WORLD.
THEY DON'T WANT IT TO GO UP IN A
BALL OF FLAME IN THE APOCALYPSE.
>> AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER,
EVEN THOUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE
HEAD OFFICES THINK THAT THEY
ARE --
>> HEAD OFFICE?
>> THAT'S THIS GUY, YEAH.
SO THIS IS MY BOSS, THE ANGEL
GABRIEL.
>> YES.
>> YEAH, EVEN THOUGH THE HEAD
OFFICES SEEM TO WANT CONFLICT,
THESE GUYS ARE SET TO AVOID IT.
IT WORKS AS A METAPHOR FOR
WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
>> MICHAEL, YOU WERE ORIGINALLY
APPROACHED TO PLAY THE DEMON.
BUT THEN DAVID, THEY SAID NO,NO,
NO, WE WANT YOU TO PLAY?
>> NEIL GAIMAN WROTE THE BOOK
WITH TERRY PRACHET.
I HAVE KNOWN NEIL FOR YEARS.
WHEN HE STARTED TO DO THE
ADAPTATION FOR TV ORIGINALLY WE
THOUGHT THAT I WOULD PLAY
CRAWLEY, THE DEMON.
WE BOTH KIND OF REALIZED THAT
WASN'T A GOOD IDEA, I WAS MUCH
MORE SUITED TO PLAY THE ANGEL.
THEN IT MEANT THAT WE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR MR. TENNANT.
>> AND, JON, THIS IS A KISMET IN
A WAY.
YOU SAY THIS BOOK WAS THE FIRST
BOOK THAT YOU VOLUNTARY READ?
>> YEAH, WHERE I WASN'T ASSIGNED
IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THE FIRST THING I READ OUT OF
SHEER JOY OF READING SOMETHING,
A NARRATIVE THAT I FOUND
CHALLENGING AND INTERESTING AND
FUN AND SMART.
SO IT WAS A SEMINAL BOOK IN MY
KIND OF GROWING UP.
SO TO GET THE CHANCE TO WORK ON
IT, AND MY CHARACTER IS BARELY
IN THE BOOK.
IT'S TANGENTIAL REFERENCED.
NEIL ADAPTED THE SCRIPT.
SO HE MADE A LITTLE MORE OF A
MEAL OF IT FOR ME.
YEAH, I BASICALLY PLAY THE IDIOT
BOSS THAT EVERYONE HAS HAD AT
SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE WHO
DOESN'T GET WHAT YOU ARE DOING
AND WANTS TO JUST MAKE FUN OF
YOU.
SO I THINK I PULLED IT OFF.
>> YOU DO IT SO WELL, YEAH.
>> AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS WAS
LITERALLY LIKE A DYING WISH THAT
THIS BE TURNED INTO A SERIES?
>> HE TRIED TO GET IT MADE AS A
FEATURE FILM AND VARIOUS OTHER
VERSIONS AND IT NEVER HAPPENED.
TERRY SAID TO NEIL, I BELIEVE HE
WAS DYING, PLEASE GET THIS MADE.
SO HE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME
WRITING BEST-SELLING NOVELS.
HE MADE SURE HE MADE IT TO THE
SCREEN.
HE WROTE THE SCRIPT.
HE WAS THERE ON SET EVERY DAY.
HE HAS BEEN VERY MUCH THE
MIDWIFE FOR THE WHOLE THING.
>> AMAZING CAST.
NICK OFFER MAN, BENEDICT
CUMBERBATCH.
I MEAN, IN IS A MURDERER'S ROW
OF GREAT STARS.
>> YEAH.
THE BOOK IS SO BELOVED BY SO
MANY PEOPLE.
AND EVERYONE SORT OF WANTED TO
BE A PART OF IT.
PEOPLE YOU WOULD NEVER THINK
WOULD DO A LITTLE CAMEO ROLE,
BECAUSE IT WAS FOR NEIL.
THEY CAME ON BOARD.
>> YOU FILMED IT TWO YEARS AGO?
IS IT FUN TO FINALLY SEE IT?
>> STARTED IN THE FALL OF 2017.
FINISHED IN THE MIDDLE OF 2018.
>> YEAH.
>> THERE IS A LOT OF ELEMENTS TO
KIND OF, ESPECIALLY IN
POST-PRODUCTION, TO SEE THERE IS
SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, VISUAL
EFFECTS AND WHATNOT.
>> WE GO FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
TO SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE, NOAH'S
ARK, SPACESHIPS.
>> IS THERE A FAVORITE TIME
PERIOD?
>> IN EPISODE 3, THE FIRST HALF
EACH SCENE IS A DIFFERENT PERIOD
OF HISTORY SHOWING HOW OUR
RELATIONSHIP HAS DOEFD.
THAT WAS GREAT FUN.
ONE SCENE WE ARE IN OUR SUITS OF
ARMOR, WHICH IS QUITE FUNNY.
