In an interview with ComicBook.com, Tennant and Sheen talked about a television reference in Good Omens season 2, where Aziraphale offers a rare Doctor Who annual to a shop-owner in exchange for attending his party. This raises the question of whether there is a version of Tennant's character within the Good Omens universe. Read Tennant and Sheen's responses below.

David Tennant: Oh, my goodness.

Michael Sheen: I can feel my brain exploding already.

Sheen: I mean, the proper Doctors, though ... He's a fan of the proper Doctors,

Tennant: It's something to think about, answers on a postcard.

Good Omens & Doctor Who Have Many Recognizable Shared Stars

Though Tennant is the standout Doctor Who cast member in Good Omens, he isn't the only one to make an appearance in both shows. Sheen himself lent his voice to the TARDIS-consuming entity called House in "The Doctor's Wife," an episode from season 6 penned by Gaiman, alongside Tennant's successor Matt Smith. Additionally, Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor and is Tennant's father-in-law, also features in season 2 of Good Omens as the biblical figure Job.

Many members of the supporting cast in Good Omens have also appeared in Doctor Who. In the Prime Video series, Derek Jacobi portrays the heavenly Metatron and previously appeared as Professor Yana, an alias of the villainous Master, in the Doctor Who episode "Utopia" and in additional audio dramas. Nina Sosanya, Maggie Service, Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss, and Reece Shearsmith have also made appearances on Doctor Who. Furthermore, Gatiss himself has written a number of episodes. Despite their differences, Crowley and the Doctor have become two of Tennant's most beloved and easily recognizable roles. With various familiar faces from Good Omens also popping up in Doctor Who, Tennant's mind-bending Easter egg question may prove to be more complex than initially perceived. Nonetheless, it provides an enjoyable mental exercise for fans who appreciate both projects.
