Is this anything? The 1980s and early 1990s saw the establishment, the middle of the road and the pop/alternative vanguard receive its own 'Hades/Proserpine' couples in the UK media in the form of Prince Charles and Diana in monarchy, Terry Wogan and Jill Dando as ubiquitous television presenters and Bob Geldof and Paula Yates as "alternative media" icons.
Give or take the odd combed or uncombed hair, clothing or social scene, this triumvirate of caucasian couples were near doppelgangers - and had every media space cornered. The blondes from each couple then died mysteriously towards the beginning of the new millenium.
Paradoila - or is this chiming with anyone?

Wogan and Jill Dando were never a double act, and certainly were not a couple.

Paula Yates had no political influence or importance whatsoever.

Does that demolish it?

It erases Wogan from this theory (however, his feted/fetid presence is something to address some other time, pals as he is with oneeyed pugsy)
