Radio 4 Cage Fighting

Children are vicious creatures - give them too much access to nature and inevitably they end up putting diverse insects in a glass jar to see if they'll fight.

It's in the same spirit that this occured to me today: if you put Jenni Murray and Libby Purves alone in a studio together, would it kick off? I reckon it would. It couldn't not.

They'd start off all Jenni being jolly and Libby being vivacious, but pretty soon, well within the standard twenty-four minute segment, the mask of professionalism would slip and it's titan versus titan, no rules, just total hardcore fighting. Seen from the producer's side of the glass partition it would just be a wall of red. Then the victor would stagger out into the corridor, waving a limb wrenched from the corpse of the vanquished.
