Guest Gary C Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Absolutely. The skit in which there's a giant dog pawing at the windows of a leaving car used to have me in stitches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cwhDDKCWrc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest raan Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Big Train is so good. It only had 2 series but every episode that was made is flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest -Ad- Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Genius show. I forget the exact words but the repeating sketch involving huge hands was excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I remember watching the first episode of that show, and the first sketch was the "I'm sorry, I don't speak English" sketch and I knew I'd like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ms-dos Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i love how all the best british comedies seem to use many of the same (fantastic) actors. i just saw three people from morris' jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 chris morris co-directed the pilot, which never aired - instead they used bits of it all over season one. everyone involved in season one except simon pegg was in jam.\ edit: we get two episodes every weeknight at the moment here. we are lucky.

triachus Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Yesterday I was thinking about this sketchshow i've seen a long while back where they had this grey cartoony skits of staring contests, and how much I loved that. And then this thread pops up. Uncanny. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I love Big Train, but what's even more awesome is its twisted, deranged counterpart, Jam (and it's tangled and warped remains, Jaaaaam). Do you think it will ever be shown on TV again? Jaaaaam episode 5 has still never aired, dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
