Neil Gaiman was the WINNER of the BBC Audio Drama Award 2015 for Outstanding Contribution to Radio Drama

A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman’s celebrated apocalyptic comic novel, with bonus length episodes and outtakes.

According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday in fact. Just after Any Answers on Radio 4….

Events have been set in motion to bring about the End of Days. The armies of Good and Evil are gathering and making their way towards the sleepy English village of Lower Tadfield. The Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse - War, Famine, Pollution and Death - are assembling. Witchfinder Shadwell and his assistant Newton Pulsifier are also en route to Tadfield to investigate unusual phenomena in the area, while Anathema Device, descendent of prophetess Agnes Nutter, tries to decipher her ancestor’s cryptic predictions.

Atlantis is rising; fish are falling from the sky; everything seems to be going to the Divine Plan. Everything, that is, but for an unlikely angel and demon duo, who have been living on Earth for several millennia and have become rather fond of the place. If they are to prevent Armageddon they’ve got to find and kill the one who will bring it about: the Antichrist himself. There’s just one small problem: someone seems to have mislaid him…

Adapted, sound designed and co-directed by Dirk Maggs (Neverwhere, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) this first ever dramatisation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s novel features a large cast including Peter Serafinowicz, Mark Heap, Josie Lawrence and Paterson Joseph.

Really enjoyable

I enjoyed it so much that I listened to it again as soon as it was over.

best audiobook performance

not only is this a fantastic book, but the performance by this cast is outstanding

A wonderful adaptation, wonderful performances!

Loved this wonderful adaptation of the book. Delightful performances all around. The BBC did a great job with this radio drama!

An Ineffable Radio Adaptation

I have read Good Omens many, many times in my life so far and plan to read it many, many more times. This production takes the story and makes brings it to life. yes it is missing some items from the novel, but those are descriptions and analogies that cannot be replicated acoustically.

love it completely.

Great version of a great book.

I just loved it, and the voice acting with effecs was lovely. I really wonder if the kid playing Adam young was the same kid on the Amazon prime show.

Brilliant.

This is one of the best radio plays I've come across, highly recommended this title!

A hilarious look at The End being nye

Just awesome - so much fun in the story, the cast's performances, everything. Absolutely worth listening to!

Great story, well presented. I loved every bit of

it. Whatever was cut, besides narration, to make a radio play, I didn't even notice

Love this

Had me laughing out loud. Pratchett and Gaiman are a hell of a team, sharp humor and a good story overall.

Can never get enough!!

Such a fantastic cast and amazing delivery! Good Omens will always be a beautiful, captivating story no matter the format! 10/10
