David Tennant and Michael Sheen have been spotted in full costume on the set of new series Good Omens.

The show, which is based on the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, sees Tennant as demon Crowley and Sheen as angel Aziraphale.

Pictures of the pair on set show Tennant with a shock of red hair and Sheen’s usually brown hair dyed bleach blonde.

The actors were also dressed the part with tenant in head-to-toe black and Sheen wearing a cream coat with shiny brown shoes.

Gaiman and Pratchett’s 1990 collaboration tells the story of the two angels who form an unlikely partnership to try and save the world from an apocalypse.

Writer and showrunner Gaiman already seemed impressed with the actors as he tweeted a picture of them in costume on set captioned: “They are amazing. This is them in the opening scenes, 11 years ago, in St James’s Park. David and Michael, demon and angel. #GoodOmens.”

The series is co-produced by BBC Two and Amazon and features Miranda Richardson, Jack Whitehall and Michael McKean in the cast alongside Tenant and Sheen.

Unfortunately fans of the book will have to wait a while before they see the adaptation on screens as it’s not set to air until 2019.

It’s not the first time the novel has been adapted, Peter Serafinowicz and Mark Heap previously played the demon and angel in a radio version of the story.

Good Omens is set to arrive on BBC Two in 2019.
