Yes folks, another game inspired by Cabin Pressure, the excellent but now concluded BBC radio comedy.
In this one has to name two people such they should from their names be archenemies, or at the very least, rivals. A couple of examples from the programme are:
- Vivienne Westwood and Clint Eastwood
- Ruby Wax and John Wayne
I'm sure you get the idea. Here's my starter:
- Murray Head and Michael Foot

There's an argument that David Starkey is his own archenemy, but his name doesn't sound like that, even if his voice does.
