I remember that from QI!
And oh, they DO argue with each other! It's like watching Team Top Gear except politer. I sort of want Jeremy Clarkson to decide he'll flirt with David Mitchell now in a worrying fashion, in some sort of flirting-competition with Charlie Brooker. Jeremy thinks it's about making David uncomfortable, Charlie genuinely wants to go out with David and just doesn't entirely know how to ask him out without insulting him in some way.
And ALL the mocking of Hammond! He wouldn't present the show about the people throwing themselves of a slope, he'd be too busy doing it himself.
