What the show changed here
- InventedA cold open tracing the Aziraphale-Crowley friendship through history is added; the novel opens on the Antichrist's birth instead.
- InventedThe angel Gabriel is built up into a recurring Heaven figure, drawn from a sequel the authors planned but never published.
- ChangedThe book's roving omniscient narration is handled as spoken voice-over from God, keeping the device without crowding the actors.
- ChangedThe angel-and-demon partnership gets far more screen time and warmth than the page devotes to it.
