Directed by Graham Linehan, Chris Morris, Jonathan Gershfield. Starring Simon Pegg, Kevin Eldon, Mark Heap, Amelia Bullmore, Julia Davis Big Train steams out of the comedy tunnel as realism meets utter stupidity in a cavalcade of daft sketches performed by high quality actors in a series of stunning costumes and vast sets reminiscent of the worst excesses of DW Griffith. There are also lots of sketches in offices. Along the way we meet shy policemen, pop stars chasing jockeys, a duck in danger, hens in armed combat, a confused Transport Minister, highly charged sexual politics and casual, though necessary, violence. This ferrago of random claptrap draws from the pedigree of such series as Father Ted, Spaced, Human Remains and Happiness. The show thrives on the subversion of everyday occurrences, mundane situations and famous faces.
