I spoke with Neil Gaiman, writer and reluctant show-runner, over fresh mint tea and black english breakfast tea in a library.
We spoke about when you can let go of work and when you feel a duty to fight for it to be a particular way, how his graphic bible story nearly got someone thrown in jail, and the importance of protecting icky speech.
I have enjoyed reading Neil's work for a long time, and was just the right age for Good Omens to make a big impact on my ideas about the possibilities of combining funny with profound writing when I got it.
