Does anyone remember Big Train? It was a sketch show that was on about 10 years ago (I think) and had Simon Pegg and Kevin Eldon (And a few others) in it. It was only around for 2 series but it was fantastic!

Anything else you reckon was underrated and forgotten?
(I'd add Black Books too, but I've talked about that to death on here...)

Did you happen to watch that Top 100 Comedy Sketches that was on last week? They had some Big Train stuff on that.

Just remembered that I played pool with a satanist last night. Really should go out on a Friday more often.

Had a good night last night. We lost the pub quiz but had my hair plaited by a viking.

Was Big Train really 10 years ago?! Blimey. I only really remember one sketch from it, but it doesn't seem that long ago. The sketch I remember (which had me in stitches and I'm not sure if it's in the clips above as I'm at work so I'll watch them later) was the one where a guy stops someone and asks for help and the other guy (possibly Simon Pegg) said (in English) "I'm terribly sorry, I don't speak a word of English"; they then have a bit more of a conversation in English.

Stuff about Thatcher....

You are a disgrace and I'm looking forward to when someone you respect dies so I can rub your liberal face in it.

Big Train is another one that passed me by (No pun intended)

I'm beginning to think that Zoot has a bit of a fixation on Simon Pegg...

Was that a repeat? where that Lou and Andy swimming pool one somehow got to number one? I think I saw it before.

My Girlfriend thinks the same, but only because I have a room dedicated to him at home.

'Allo 'Allo was probably the first sit-com I ever saw.

Thanks Zoot, that was funny ! Never come across it before.

I have said before I think the funniest TV show is "Still Game" it's genius.
