Good Omens
by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
radio dramatisation by Dirk Maggs (BBC Worldwide, 2014)
Dirk Maggs has adapted Pratchett and Gaiman’s comedic novel of the apocalypse with apposite exuberance, yet for all the well-pitched sound design and the cast’s astute voice work, this zany and enjoyable dramatisation does perforce forego the original book’s drollery of prose.
