#When I was a kid Captain Birdseye turned up on ships filled with kids pushing his frozen dinners

Hello Mr Gaiman,

I don't know if someone asked this before, but what was your inspiration in good Omens for the design of heaven and hell? BTW I love that corowley flat and aziraphaels bookshop are the opposite of that.

Greetings from Germany and thank you for your incredible works.

Terry Pratchett was always certain that the Good Omens Heaven and Hell were in the same building. He used to like to mention this KitKat advert (It's at 10:05, which is where this video should start). (But it doesn't want to. Manually move it to Kit Kat Limbo at 10:05.)

So that was my design idea. Heaven got the lovely rooms at the top of the skyscraper. Hell got the awful ones in the basement. When Michael Ralph, our amazing production designer, came to me with his first designs for an incredibly impressive Hell, I shook my head sadly and said, "Michael, the key to Hell in Good Omens, is it's all a bit shit. Too many people, not enough room, and the roof leaks." And he grinned, and that was what he gave us...
