**Reece Harrington and Nicholas Aaberg**, also known as **"The Shifty Twins"**, are the minor characters of *The World's End*. They are both collaborators and two of three last residents in Newton Haven who have not been replaced by the blank. They were referred to by Gary as "the shifty twins" in the bunker.

In the movie, they were portrayed by British actors Reece Shearsmith and Nicholas Burns.

## Personalities

The shifty twins strongly believe in The Network and that what The Network is doing will ultimately be the best for humanity. This becomes apparent when they express their annoyance at Gary, Andy, and Steven for "spoiling it." They are quite smug and do not appear to have much sympathy for people going against the wishes of The Network, as seen when they appear pleased when Trevor is about to be replaced.

## The Pub Crawl

Gary and the others meet the shifty twins in The Trusty Servant after they warn Trevor that he has said too much. They then warn Gary and his friends to get on their way. The shifty twins are later seen in the bunker after Andy asks "who here is human?" They and Basil are the only ones that respond. After The Network leaves, they get angry with Gary, Andy, and Steven before running off. They presumably died from the electromagnetic pulse.

## Physical Appearance

The Shifty Twins were a bit fraternal, but it's not clear if they're related or not. One of them has pale skin, black hair, blue eyes, wears silver/platinum rectangular framed glasses, striped white and mint green shirt, a dark gray necktie, matching jacket, black trousers, and dark brown shoes. The other one has pale skin, messy blonde hair, blue eyes and wears a dark brown jacket, white shirt and dark brown necktie, matching trousers and shoes.

## Fanfics

### Dear, United Kingdom

The shifty twins are first appearing in the soap opera comedy fanfic. They lived separately with their families in London since their job transfer. They both have been introduced by Gary and the others to their new friends, who have all moved away from their native Ukraine and Poland to the United Kingdom, Vasily Goloborodko, Ignacy Konieczny and their friends and families.
