Hi Neil,

continuing on the closed captions hell:

Amazon insists Crowley calls Aziraphale "Lady Brackney" in the pub scene, but I googled around and think he actually made a Lady Bracknell reference, cause Britannica says "[she] is the embodiment of conventional upper-class Victorian respectability". Would you confirm that?

Thanks in advance if you ever answer this ✨

Yes. That's the only line in the show that David improvised, too. I believe every take he'd order a sherry for Aziraphale with a different request (in the script I thought he'd be too far away to hear so I hadn't written a line). I love that he calls Aziraphale "Lady Bracknell" for all sorts of reasons.

I'm afraid that I will never get over the sheer genius of translating 'The Importance of Being Earnest' to Czech as 'Jak je důležité míti Filipa'

It is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.
