From the photo, I couldn’t tell which of them was meant to be which, though. Probably someone should make Good Omens twice, so they could each play each role. That would work.
A lot of people have been throwing around posters for their dream casting of Good Omens, and there’s a few (Hiddles/Cumby!) that I really like, but when my flatmate and I were reading GO, we mentally both cast David Tennant and Jude Law as Crowley and Aziraphale, respectively. With that in mind, here is my submission for dream casting.
:-)
We wanted to call our show The Mighty Stump-fuckers!
And they said: ‘If you do that, you’ll have to go on a little bit later.’
And we said: ‘Is that physically fuckin’ possible?’

The Hitcher The Mighty Boosh Live 2006 |
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don’t want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me,
I have changed I’m not as sure
As when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I’m sad and tired
Listen surely I’ve exceeded
Expectations
Tried for three years
Seems like thirty
Could you ask as much
From any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through
And do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me
Nail me to their tree
I’d want to know
I’d want to know my God
I’d want to know
I’d want to know my God
I’d want to see
I’d want to see my God
I’d want to see
I’d want to see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed
Than I ever was before?
Would the things I’ve said and done
Matter any more?
I’d have to know
I’d have to know my Lord
I’d have to know
I’d have to know my Lord
I’d have to see
I’d have to see my Lord
I’d have to see
I’d have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
I’d have to know
I’d have to know my Lord
I’d have to know
I’d have to know my Lord
Why, why should I die?
Oh, why should I die?
Can you show me now
That I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little
Of your omnipresent brain
Show me there’s a reason
For your wanting me to die
You’re far too keen on where and how
But not so hot on why
Alright I’ll die!
Just watch me die!
See how, see how I die!
Oh, just watch me die!
Then I was inspired
Now I’m sad and tired
After all I’ve tried for three years
Seems like ninety
Why then am I scared
To finish what I started
What you started
I didn’t start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me, take me now
Before I change my mind.
Now, before I change my mind…
[Reason]
Think hard, you are lying here in a hospital bed
Disregard the emotions inside your head
Concentrate on the real world beyond your mind
It’s not to late to leave your burdens behind
[Fear] We won’t let you go
Take you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head…
You’re better of dead
[Agony] Locked away, she lives in isolation
It’s been that way, since he has gone
She been through life of deprivation
She depends on you, her only son
[Passion] She won’t let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You’re better of dead
[Agony] Where are you, can’t you hear her calling?
Nothing you can do, you have no time
There is no one there, to catch her now she’s falling
Why should you care, you are doing fine
[Passion] She won’t let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You’re better of dead
[Reason] Now she’s at rest, she finally found her peace
There’s no need to blame yourself
You must let go, or the pain will never cease
It’s time to crawl out of your shell
Your mother died, the day your father left
A part of you died as well
Feelings of guilt will haunt you ‘til the end
You must fight hard to break this spell
But it hurts…
[Fear] You hear her voice, from beyond her grave
“Where were you son, when I needed you
Is this your thanks for all the warmth I gave
Did you forget what I been through?”
Then you hear his voice, cold and merciless
“You’re worthless fool, you let her die!”
And deep within yourself, you must confess
Your ways cannot be justified
[Pride] By now you realize, you have to be
relentless to survive
Repress your memories,
bury all emotions and thrive!
It’s your life!
[Reason] Now she’s at rest, she found her peace
[Fear] You hear her voice, from the grave
[Reason] You must let go or the pain won’t cease
[Fear] “Is this your thanks for all I gave”
[Reason] A part of you died as well
[Fear] “You worthless fool, you let her die”
[Reason] It’s time to crawl out of your shell
[Fear] Your ways cannot be justified
[Pride] By now you realized, you have to be
relentless to survive
Repress your memories,
bury all emotions and thrive!
It’s your life!
