Twin Terrors

Speculating as I do when sitting on the lavvy, I've just come to an amazing realisation - all truly terrible television of any genre relies on a double act. Consider the following list of shame (and this is just the tip of the iceberg):
Trinny & Susannah; Kim & Aggie; Ant & Dec; Dick & Dom; George & Mildred; Terry & June; Phil & Kirstie (I wasn't born I was knitted)
See what I mean, can you even imagine any of these televisual siamese twins separated, now can you? I bet they'd pine away if they didn't have their partners in crime with them.
Hey that gives me a great idea - Celebrity Presenters Partner Swap - anyone for Trinny & Dec?

Then think about the programmes that are truly great (in my opinion and that's what counts around here) and the thing is that they all have solo presenters: Kevin McCloud, Sarah Beeny, Nicholas Crane, Richard Holmes, Aubrey Manning, David Attenborough, Charlotte Uhlenbrook, ..the list goes on.
