Top 10 Differences Between the Good Omens Book and TV Show

I think David Tennant just wanted to be ginger

Aziraphale: “We should oversee him as a nanny and a gardener” Crowley, who has been taking care of plants for who knows how long: “I’ll be the nanny.”

The way Michael delivered "to the world" still gives me chills

"from rivals, to acquaintances, to friends to happily married couples

Thank God Crowley was ginger Tennant waited since 2006 for being ginger

I didn't interpret Crowley's shoving Aziraphale against the wall as anger so much as fear. Unlike in the church scene, where there's no way to pass that action off as demonic, in the modern day Aziraphale labeling his actions as 'nice' means he loses all demonic credit in the eyes of anyone watching, because an angel approves of what he's done. The violence is to put him back in 'demonic' territory, assuring anyone watching that he's not having a tender moment with the angel, nope, nothing to see here. It also gets Aziraphale to shut the hell up and watch what he says in public. You'll note Aziraphale is startled, but not at all afraid of Crowley, because despite the surface violence of the action Crowley isn't hurting him, the 'slam' is gentle enough that his head doesn't hit the wall. Contrast Uriel doing the same thing later on. Context and trust is everything. They've been around each other long enough for Aziraphale to instinctively know that Crowley isn't going for the throat, he's quite relaxed even if he's taken off guard. He's not even trying to get away, which means it really doesn't occur to him that Crowley might discorporate him just to prove a point.

At 6:05 a angel is dead ass riding a hoverboard in the background and I'm crying help

God's plan is basically monopoly but without rules and let's face it, we all wanted to see David as a ginger

Crowley def invented kiss a ginger day in an attempt to get Zira to kiss him, no I don’t take constructive criticism

Neil said on tumblr something along the lines of "we just said Crowley had dark hair. We didnt say what color"

Honestly, I prefer the show. The little stories before the opening are something that really catches my heart, also, the bathtub and hellfire scene it's brilliant, I felt like the show showed us more of the Good Omens universe. I totally loved it

You missed out the other kids gang, Greasy Johnson and the Johnsonites. It's the whole reason for Adam thinking the end of the world, and having one side win is stupid. Without them the kids don't make much sense.

A shame they didn't put the scene where the kids got hold of some guns but Aziraphale was quick to turn them into water guns. Except for one, when suddenly they heard a loud bang and Aziraphale was like 'Whoops, must've missed one.' I imagined it so vividly, it was hilarious 😂

Tv producers: “we...we need a wall slam”

1. In the book, Crowley looks like a young man with dark hair who wears good suits. In the show he looks like a middle-aged man with red hair who wears whatever you wish to call that. 2. In the book, Crowley lives in a white flat, with a white leather sofa, plants throughout, and a computer that he upgrades every few months. In the show, he lives in a black flat filled with some kind of miasma, all the plants are in one room, and he owns a ...throne... with a desk to match. In both, he owns the original sketch of the Mona Lisa. 3. In the book, he has a bookcase, and all his books are in alphabetical order. In the show, he doesn't read books, though he has one on astronomy. 4. In the book, Adam has an older sibling. In the show, he is an only child. I think that most of the other major differences have been covered in the previous 400+ comments.

Azir saying “to the world” has the MOST EMOTION i’ve ever heard in any actor ever

Honestly, the thing that stood out to me the most, after change in the ending, is during Warlock's Birthday party where Crowley is the one to heal Aziraphale's dead dove, not Aziraphale. That was character building that was!

“you really are a nice-” Book Crowley: shrugs TV Crowley: SHUT IT!

love both the book and the show! absolutely brilliant. and the fact that Michael Sheen and David Tennant have just the greatest chemistry, makes it even more of a joy to re-watch it over and over again

Here is another difference from the book to the TV series. In the book, when aziraphale and Crowley get shot with paintball guns. They both fall back, Crowley into a statue I believe and Aziraphale into a bush. Crowley after checking himself, CRAWLS over to aziraphale to make sure he is okay.
