Meet the Cast

Rufus Sewell

Bertie Carvel

Bertie Carvel is Zachariah Osborne, a nervous, owlish, godly man. He owns a hardware shop on Goldhawk road, and believes in the dark arts.

Sean Pertwee

Sean Pertwee is Inspector Lejeune. A proper copper. All gut and shrewdness and bloody-mindedness attention to detail. A nose for a wrong ‘un.
