Big Train

[Total Longo]

Genius Linehan/Matthews sketch show from the 90's, never got the recognition it deserved. So many brilliant sketches but these three stuck out for me at the time.

 

This sketch always cracks me up mainly because it gets George Martin to an absolute tee.

Massively underrated show.

The only sketches I remember are the wanking in the office one and the stare out cartoon thing.

He's a wanker

The Florence Nightingale one is in my all time fave sketches, absolutely brilliant.

Big Train was fucking ace. As with all such set ups, some bits were weaker, but there were some fucking gems too. Shit all over the fast show.

[hamstrung]

Bought it on DVD a while back. The first series was brilliant.

[Thants]

Jockeys v Firefighters is my favourite.

My favourite was Kevin Eldon playing Ming the Merciless, living in suburbia, Hoovering his

house and getting ill. Ming in those stripey pyjamas, lying in a hospital bed was ridiculously funny. Big Train had all sorts of mad stuff: the huntsmen who used to stalk firemen as they did their duty, the man with the huge, upright running dog and, of course, the office workers who were requested to stop wanking. Can't understand why it hasn't been repeated more frequently.

Forgot about that, it's brilliant.It's Mark Heap as Ming, the hoovering bit is brilliant. And the second one in hospital is even better, especially when Simon Pegg comes in as the blue alien. "Mum, Sandra,this is Rolex Ruler of the Planet Tharsus, Rolex, this is mum". Genius.

Thanks for that, Longo. Great stuff! I also realised that I shouldn't rely on my memory at all. Getting Kevin Eldon and Mark Heap confused might be understandable, but fuck knows where I got the 'stripey pyjamas' bit from. Might be a subconscious desire to own a pair one day. Not long to wait now I fear. Thanks for posting the stuff anyway.
