* Although most of the Mitchell / Mack interplay belongs here (and indeed is one of the highlights of the show), one example in particular belongs here: one of Lee Mack's challenges involved a coconut he claimed fell from a tree and nearly hit him in the head, which he kept for 'anecdotal reasons'. David Mitchell was skeptical, citing the apparent tediousness of said anecdote ("'This is a coconut, it fell of a tree and hit me in the shoulder, but obviously if it had hit me in the head in the right place I might have died' is not as interesting a story as perhaps you think, and may in fact elicit the response 'If only it had.'") The resulting exchange gets quite heated, with Mack at one point threatening to commit coconut-related violence upon Mitchell, which prompts this retort:
