Fit the 8th: Strange & Charm 2009

Let me tell you a bit about Strange and/or Charm. Or as much as I know, being peripheral in this matter. They are men. Who exorcise demons. The demons are sometimes men. Or are inside men. That sounds rude.

Charm (the strange one) is landed gentry, the sort of person who would have gone to an Eton proxy and outgrown his uniform within a month like the freakish pole of a human he is.

Even though Eton's uniform in the 19th century was tops and tails.

 Unrelated but contributing to his astounding poshery is his hatred of a) the poor, b) the middle class, c) tradesmen, d) tradeswomen, e) women, f) children, g) the phrase 'women and children first'. But not all in equal measure and not all at the same time. Usually, I'm told, he's meant to be quite nice, if only because he's functionally lobotomised.

He's also Catholic (of course).

And...how to put it...

Very gay. Because it was dramatically right and also of course he is.

Strange (the charming one) is all things to all men, though kind of a dick if one stops and thinks about it for too long. He's pure East End, and probably spent his youth picking a pocket or two, but definitely not stabbing prostitutes.

While being suspiciously well-dressed and disease-free for an urchin.

Strange and Charm live in the one house, mainly because it's their office. So as it's been pointed out, they're not exactly like Holmes and Watson but for ghosts. They're more gay.

Also bits of the house may get possessed occasionally. It happens.

Strange & Charm is Caitlin Hart & Katharine Gray.
