Davbid Tennant at Florida Supercon 13.7.2024 talking about what is his most favourite and least favourite Crowley's outfit. Also mentions what he might have nicked from the set :D.

Fan: My question is: what's your most favourite and least favourite outfit to wear as Crowley?

David: Whoa. Most favourite? Least favourite's the armour. Not because it wasn't brilliant, but have you ever worn an entire suit of armour?

Int: I was gonna say it's probably just heavy.

David: It's horrible, I don't know how you fight a war in that. It's just a lot. It takes a long time to get into, and it's very uncomfortable. I mean - I love that we got to do it, but I was very glad it was one scene. What's my favorite? I'm not sure. Probably... yeah, probably one of the sort of standard outf- no! I know what it is. It's the sort of very chintzy kind of shell suit. When he goes up to Heaven and he turns into this kind of... I don't know what... I don't know where it I'm even... I don't even know how I'm describing it... It's a kind of awful 90s leisure suit in gold and white. That was my favourite, for sure.

Fan: It was your own hairband or was that from costuming?

David: It was not my own hairband. No. But I may have nicked it.

David Tennant at the Emerald City Comic Con 3.3.2023:

Interviewer: Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship spans through centuries.

David: Yes.

Interviewer: So in that you play a lot of different Crowleys.

David: Yes.

Interviewer: Which one was your favourite to play?

David: Oooh. That's a good question. We had a great deal of fun coming up with the looks, obviously, because Crowley is always a sort of punk version of wherever he ends up. He likes to live very much at the sort of cutting edge of the moment in history that he's living through. Unlike Aziraphale, who just kind of bumbles on sort of wearing the same gear. Crowley likes to kind of jazz with the looks of the moment he's in. So was great fun to create them. Which was my favourite... probably I quite liked the Elizabethan look in the Shakespeare... where it was filmed in the Globe in the Shakespeare scene, with his little tiny spindly little beard. The armor was pretty exciting as well. Getting to wear a full suit of armor - incredibly uncomfortable. I mean... I defy anyone to fight a war in that stuff, really difficult. But it did feel very safe.

Interview: Was it pretty hot?

David: No, we were filming in the middle of a field in November. It was freezing cold. And metal conducts the cold quite well, it turns out. So don't fight a war andd especially not it winter. (x)

Hi! Do you happen to know where the 537 AD scene of "Hard Times" was filmed or what castle that is in the background? (Or if it's a fake green-screen castle?) I can't seem to find anything about it. Thanks!!!!

Hiya! :) In the Good Omens Companion there is:

In considering a favorite moment from the pre-title sequence, Gavin Finney smiles broadly. “Arthurian England,” he says, referring to one of the scenes shot in the UK. Gavin’s pick opens with knights in armor on horseback staging a face off. “It was so thick with smoke that Aziraphale and Crowley can hardly see each other. We made it part Excalibur and part Monty Python.”

In shooting such a large-scale scene, first assistant director Cesco Reidy notes that one element proved to be a happy accident. “While we had to cover a large area with fog, which was a practical challenge to get the consistency of the look, we found that a water tower in the background looked like a turret from some huge unseen castle if we lined up the camera in a particular way. There was no need to add anything to it,” says Cesco. “It looked the part.”

It's a water tower (somewhere in England :), don't know it they elsewhere mentioned where).

That then has been CGIed to look like a castle :)
