Aziraphale's Gavotte Dance with Original Music, Behind-the-Scenes Take 2 - Good Omens
"How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"
The answer is zero; or one, if the dance was a gavotte.
The background music in the series is a piano adaptation of the song "I Am a Courtier Grave and Serious" from Gilbert & Sullivan's opera "The Gondoliers".
From Neil Gaimans' blog:
"We are in a discreet gentleman’s club in Portland Place, in the 1880s, and somebody has invented a moving picture camera rather ahead of schedule."

And wasn't Crowley supposed to be sleeping for ages during this time as was outlined in the original text?
Fun fact: if you listen to this and then the music from the scene right after it with the demons having their little disco thing in Hell, it's the same song, just in a different style!! I wish they'd kept this music for the show cause that's a lovely detail Edit: So it turns out I am Silly and that this music is actually "I Am A Courtier Grave And Serious" from Gilbert and Sullivan and that the disco thing in Hell was a 70s style adaptation of it
The Energy Michael put into this!!

The dislike is from Gabriel for too many frivolities. 😂
Nobody is talking about the amount of elbow the backup dancer was doing in the beginning. He wields it like a weapon. Reminds me of the waiters in Hello Dolly. Even in the dull dingy black and white, Michael's smile is a ray of sunshine beaming through dark clouds. Just beautiful!
Michael Sheen is a treasure of humanity and I can prove it:
He really is an angel, he gets so happy that it makes me happy! I hope he realizes how many people he makes smile. ☺
Michael Sheen is a treasure, I just love his smile and positive energy and his charm and everything.
Fun Fact: When you dance the gavotte, the first step/move is to kiss your partner. SO. Aziraphale was probably learning it to teach Crowley, and it's why he was so sad when it eventually went out of style after the years passed. (When he probably couldn't work up the nerve to ask.) My heart is exploding-
I want to believe that Neil Gaiman gave a prompt of encouragement before starting this shoot: "Think gay thoughts!" I love this scene so much.

I love this movie. Did Michael Sheen really do those high kicks when dancing the Gavotte? That is hard to believe.
It's a choice to portray the gavotte, a "courtly dance for couples" as being danced all by men.

The narration said that Aziraphale learned the gavotte at a "discreet gentlemen's club" (a/k/a a gay club) so it could've been danced by couples, just not male-female couples.

Feeding my inner G&S geek here - I felt so awesome when I recognized this song, especially since one of the lyrics of this song is, "Now, a gavotte perform sedately, offer your hand with conscious pride! Take an attitude not too stately, still sufficiently dignified!" I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when they discussed how to choose and include this song.

Which episode? Thank you!
what chapter is it? I would like to see it again, please
As amazing and hilarious as this scene is, it sort of undermines Aziraphael’s character as far as his naïveté goes- it is so obviously a sex thing.
