Goodreads asked Maynard Sims:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Maynard Sims No one really. I’ve wracked my brains and can’t think of a single couple, let alone a favourite one, in books at any rate. TV’s different. Penny and Vince from Just Good Friends, Morse and Fred Thursday from Endeavour. I used to have a soft spot for Noddy and Big Ears. Sooty and Sweep? Batman and Robin? Tom and Barbara from the Good Life? A more authorly answer would be Holmes and Watson, but Holmes was an insufferable prig and Watson his doormat. In current crime fiction there are many examples of detective teams but I have no favourites I’m afraid.
