This was required viewing for my college course. David Mitchell absolutely won me over on Mock the Week and now this is just gold.

This is what a typical writing workshop gone wrong scenario looks.
The show in this clip is That Mitchell and Webb Look, which features David Mitchell, who plays Mark in Peep Show, and Robert Webb, who plays Jeremy.

Only a decade late but here we are. Filmed with a live studio audience but obviously the track is edited over.
Sounds like the average argument with a woman.
