Kirstie and Phil find themselves the subjects of the Radio Times "Why I Hate..." column. It's a programme, says Michael Hodges, "based on greed and sex". Okay, greed... that's endemic in the way the Brits view property. It's not pretty, we'd agree. But sex? Where? When? And - if so - what's so hateful about that?

Sex, less successfully perhaps, is provided by the intimation that, given the chance, Phil and Kirstie would be at it like knives.

To be honest... that had never really occurred to me. Certainly, C4 has made more and more of the chemistry, but personally I've always thought it's been about the way they clash (Phil's bumbling geezer v Kirstie's frosty aristo), and if you'd put them in a bed together the effect would have been more like watching Morecombe and Wise sharing their double divan than Burton and Taylor. But what do I know?
