After averting the apocalypse, Crowley (David Tennant) and Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) are on the outs with heaven and hell. Crowley is living in his car, feeling aimless and just very bored, even his interactions with his replacement, Shax (Miranda Richardson), the new high representative of hell in London are a struggle. As Shax gets to grips with her role she is so confused about why being a demon on earth is so easy and why the humans keep inflicting evil, horrible stuff to each other. But Shax hears something juicy on the heaven-hell grapevine (which definitely doesn't exist) is awash with rumours that there's something going down in the UP.Meanwhile at A Z Fell and Co bookshop in Soho Aziraphale is relaxing to a new record he bought from Maggie (Maggie Service) in the vinyl shop across the road and forgiving her rent arrears. Relaxing into Shostakovich, he is disturbed when a very confused and very naked Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm), holding a box, walks through the street straight to his shop. He doesn't know who he, where he is or who Aziraphale is, but he knows that Aziraphale will keep him safe and stop the “bad thing”, that he doesn’t know what it is, from happening.Slightly panicked about what is going on, Aziraphale calls the only one he knows that can help, Crowley, who is far from happy to help Gabriel. Crowley has no inclination to help Gabriel, suggesting they leave him on Dartmoor and he refuses to help his friend, leaving to go back to his car. While away, Crowley is called on by Beelzeebub who will return Crowley to hell if he brings Gabriel to him. Beelzebub also informs him that Extreme Sanctions will be used by heaven against anyone harbouring Gabriel from them. Crowley returns immediately to Aziraphale to help him and admits with a little dance that he was wrong and Aziraphale was right. Together the two perform a very minor half a miracle to hide Gabriel, now named James/Jim from everyone's sight.But the miracle isn't minor enough and with klaxons blaring and red lights flashing in heaven it attracts the attention of Michael (Doon Mackichan) and the other angels to a little bookshop in Soho.Our top signs of the apocalypseEach episode we’ll go through our top moments of the episode called the Top “Signs of The Apocalypse”.
