A sketch-show starring Simon Pegg and Julia Davis sounds like a fantasy these days – but in 1998 they were just part of this hugely talented ensemble

When it first aired on BBC2, way back in 1998, Big Train was hailed as an impressively surreal and often hilarious sketch show. But today – thanks to the success subsequently achieved by its team, including Simon Pegg and Julia Davis – the show looks like a fantasy comedy lineup. To modern viewers, Pegg is by far the biggest name. Yet on the evidence of this box set, you wouldn't single him out as the one destined to rise above his peers, such is the quality of the ensemble cast.

The show sees Davis (Hunderby, Nighty Night) shine as a grief-stricken mother giving a police press conference that, when the camera pans out, …

Big Train这个名字跟这部剧真的没啥关联，海报上的那几个人也只在第一集出现过。这部剧跟那个飞行马戏团比较像，人物出现的频率基本仅限同一集。基本上第一季出现得最多的就是那个对视比赛了。
我是simon的粉丝，看这个戏也是为他而来的，这里面有spaced里的
brian，他是编剧之一。simon的好友Nick偶尔会蹦出来，但戏份不多。
以下一些很有意思的片段。。。
1.第一集开篇，Can you speak english，这个用语言实在没法描述。。
2. 一个老板每次员工找他要工资，他就想办法引开他们的注意力，然后逃之摇摇，其中用到了魔术，杂技，小狗狗。。。
3.恶搞勇敢的心，男主角变得又矮又蠢。恶搞蝴蝶梦，Rebecca成了带爵士帽，留着大胡须，穿着地毯的女人。另外恶搞一个法国电影，女主角爱上了一个交通灯，男主角问她，交通灯有什么是我没有的。
后来，女主角回心转意，但是男主角已经跟蓬头在约会了。
4.他们老是穿成很奇怪的样子，但是旁边的人都好像没觉得有什么不对。比如穿成耶稣跟撒旦的样子在办公室谈态度的问题。穿成大老鼠和老虎的样子，在酒吧吵架。穿成鸭子的样子…
