Synopsis:
"Big Train" steams out of the comedy tunnel as realism meets utter stupidity in a cavalcade of daft sketches performed by some of Britain's top-notch comedy actors including Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Spaced), Julia Davis (Nighty Night, Human Remains) and Catherine Tate (The Catherine Tate Show; Wild West).

Series 1
Like reality, only better, 'Big Train' was the much-imitated, never-surpassed sketch show from 'Father Ted' writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews. Now, at last, fans can relieve those chin-strainingly chest-hurtingly funny encounters with mad scientists, herds of jockeys, firefighting show jumpers, sexy puppets, impatient hundred metre runners, surgeons with funny names, foul-mouthed nurses from the past and of course, the many contestants of World Championship Stare Out.
Series 2
More sketches inspired by the weird, the oblique, the deadpan and the incorrigible stoicism of the Beefeater as we find tortoises speaking fluent French, mermaids cheating, smoking and swearing and flamenco dancers displaying an ability to defuse car bombs.

Parson's egg - Big Train: Series 1 and 2 review by JD

Spoiler Alert

Like many sketch review based comedies this is good in parts. The good bits are very good. It is surprisingly dependent on mood if you rewatch it as I did different bits are much more entertaining.
