Dear... and...

It has become the custom for listeners who write into the show to address the good doctors using the following formula at the start of their missives:

Dear X and Y,

where X and Y are usually replaced with two related names/references/items from film or past show memes. An example of this would be:

Dear Wizard and Man-Behind-The-Curtain,

or

Dear Boom and Tish,

or

Dear S and M,

or

Dear Wes and Erson,

(a fine joke that Simon unfortunately couldn't work out)

Mark Kermode had said that his personal take is that he and Simon are Flanders and Swann.
