David is middle class, born to two university lecturers and is a public school boy (went to Abingdon school). I think his ancestry can be traced back to someone noble too. Jimmy is working class as he was born in it, just because he went to Cambridge doesn't mean he's posh. I think he got into a grammar school and worked very hard. You can tell by his speech he has a working class background.

It's not really used here in the U.S. today either, although I have seen it used in some old movies, and most older people here would understand that usage. I just searched for the etymology of that usage, and it's from 1911. It's an impolite term, as is most such monikers for a woman; it is similar in meaning to the medieval term, "wench."

that exchange and the one after it had me almost knock over my drink

He did play an MI6 agent in the film Stormbreaker, so that might have been an inspiration for this

2:28 - I think that's the first time I seen Jimmy Carr caught in headlights!

I love David Mitchell's reaction when David Baddiel tells him he seems like a spy, because he's posh and a tiny bit gay even though he's not.. :P He's so adorable !

I was gonna say I'm spartacus but then the video went 5 more seconds and apparently that one was too easy.

So now I know where David's fear of looking like a spy comes from.

MI5 is the equivalent of the F.B.I. and MI6 is the equivalent of the C.I.A. They both exist, and if you think being a spy is anything like James Bond, it's about time you grew up.

He ripped me to shreds when I went to one of his shows. Never laughed at myself soo much before or since :L

2:28 WHOA! He ACTUALLY offended Jimmy fkn Carr!

The “new” south bank building, codenamed Vauxhall Cross, is MI6 (Secret Intellingence Service), NOT MI5. (The Domestic Security Service), and is WAY more secretive.
