shakatany | Consilio et prudentia*

A long time ago one of my favorite TV shows was The Persuaders. It was a sort of dramedy version of "The Odd Couple" with an uncouth Danny Wilde (Tony Curtis) and the very couth Lord Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore). Well I was young and naive and had crushes on both characters who ran after women continuously. I am now watching the DVDs and I now see them as the most slashable characters I have ever seen on TV outside of characters who are meant to be gay. I have no idea if anyone else thought this way back then and as the show was on before the first slash fanfic in 1974, I doubt there were any fan stories depicting this but oh the possibilities.

*Consilio et prudentia (sneaky is best): old school motto of Lord Brett Sinclair ("Greensleeves" ep 11).
