In case there was anyone that still doesn't believe these two could play either Aziraphale or Crowley and knock it out of the park each time. Acting off each other like that is tremendously impressive. PUT THEM IN MORE STUFF TOGETHER.
For context, the interviewer asked David and Michael to read a scene from Hamlet, as Hamlet, with Jon as Ophelia. The initial idea was that they would read a line each, but they both complained that it was unfair. So she suggested they read a sentence each. And chaos ensues.
Transcript:
MS: Get thee to a nunnery.
DT: Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?
MS: I am myself indifferent honest,
but yet I could accuse me of such things that it
were better my mother had not borne me:
DT: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offens-
MS: With m-
DT: No, that's a colon!
JH: That's a semicolon.
MS: Sorry, yeah, I'm sorry.
DT: With more offenses at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination- to put them in imagina- I- I- I- can't read this.
MS: Go, keep going, keep going.
DT: It's been a while. Imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.
MS: What should such fellows as I do crawling
between earth and heaven?
DT: We are arrant knaves all; believe none of us.
MS: Go thy ways to a nunnery.
DT: Where’s your father?
JH: At home, my lord.
MS: ...is it me or you?
DT: It's you.
MS: Let the doors be shut upon him that he may play the fool nowhere but in ’s own house.
DT: Farewell!
JH: O, help him, you sweet heavens!
MS: Beautifully done!
JH: Aaaand scene!
MS: This is how we should've done it!
DT: It works! It works as a double act, doesn't it?
MS: It does! That sort of schizophrenic nature of Hamlet!
David Tennant being a lifelong Doctor Who fan who was inspired by the show to act, becoming the Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa who watched David Tennant and was inspired to act, playing the Doctor opposite David’s Doctor is the most beautiful thing
Can we talk about this moment for a sec? I don’t think it gets enough notice (not that I’ve seen at least!) For some reason this moment is so, so precious. Crowley is tired, stressed, and upset after the fight with Aziraphale. We get to see a rare version of his real self, his real vulnerability when he’s on his own, not interacting with anyone, not reacting to anything. Just a quick little moment to himself where he’s FEELING something, and that to me is filled with a ton of character information we just don’t get to see very often.
