Interesting. Looks like a good way to get that stippled weathered look to things like Armour and other military ground vehicles.

I'd wondered about an oil mister at one point... interesting to see the Professionals aren't above using something so basic.

Does it involve explosives?

Jamie isn't involved...

And never will be again, from how they both talk at least last I knew.

The way Adam tells it, they were never 'mates'. Adam worked for Jamie for a spell before Mythbusters, found him a fairly frustrating boss and eventually left. On the show they had a fair few disagreements behind the scenes and were at most 'colleagues'.

And yet they were still professional enough to work together in M5 for however many years, and on the show for what, going on 10?

Common interests.

Yes, and mutual respect for each other's talents and good points.

I shouldn't give the impression that Adam slags off Jamie: he's just honest when answering questions about Mythbusters and gives him plenty of credit where he thinks it's due.

I did enjoy the 'David Attenborough' sequence...

I didn't get that impression, don't worry.

The impression I got was mutual respect for talent, clash on methods and BIG clash on personalities. Adam can be a bit juvenile and Jamie can be a bit stiff and stuffy.

Spot on.
