Tennant has expressed his pleasure in participating with the project calling it “a dream team dream gig.” Gaiman, in an earlier statement said, “Almost 30 years ago, Terry Pratchett and I wrote the funniest novel we could about the end of the world, populated with angels and demons, not to mention an 11-year old antichrist, witchfinders and the four horsepeople of the Apocalypse. It became many people's favorite book.”
