There’s a line in the book where John Dee is driving with Rosemary and he says to her: “Dreams are real but they’re made of viewpoints, images, memories, puns and lost hopes” and I think my assembly of the pieces of the character is not dissimilar to that
Both Michael Sheen and David Tennant perfectly capture Aziraphale and Crowley respectively, but Sheen's development from a non-questioning angel to one that begins to exercise free will is beautifully captured and performed. Sheen hits all the right notes as the nervous angel who wishes to simply lead a happy life of choice, instead of bearing the crushing weight of fate.
