MATT’S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I should like to thank several members of the Good Omens crew who took me and helped me to feel like part of the family. Without production manager Kyla Brennan’s tireless organizational skills, I would still be sitting alone in a trailer with a blank notebook and empty schedule. My gratitude also goes to second assistant director, Jan Zalar, who never once pretended to be busy when I showed up in the production office.
Thank you also to Sarah Emsley, Frances Edwards, Jennifer Doyle and the team at Headline; Suzy Smithson at Narrativia, Eirwen Davies and Kate Boyle at the BBC, Philippa Milnes-Smith and all at LAW, as well as Emma Tait and Lynne Eve for their fine editorial and design work.
Finally, to Neil Gaiman, Douglas Mackinnon, Rob Wilkins and the cast and crew for being so generous with their time while working tirelessly on a TV series that’s as delightful to watch as it has been to witness in the making.
