it's the acting ability that sets this show above the usual skit show. whoever casted it's got a good eye because all the main actors are still about today
What I think is one of the strongest elements of Big Train is that it can take the most obscure of ideas, and play it with absolute conviction and realism, that makes the sketches work. That and Simon Pegg, Mark Heap et al are just brilliant!!!
graham linehan said in a recent podcast this was the funniest sketch he'd ever come up with. when he came up with the idea, he laughed for a whole day!

This was the first big train sketch I ever saw whilst aimlessly channel hopping. Brilliant show
Short, sweet,and absolutely hilarious! Thank you for that!
I rarely laugh out loud at TV bits, but this one had me screaming laughing!
According to Graham's biography he and Andrew wrote this sketch and thought it was so good that they took a week off after writing it.
this gets me every time
He brings subtelty to the even the small sketches. Quite a good actor really.

how do you even think about coming up with a sketch like this? Genius!
This made me laugh out loud!
the extra show adds to the hilarity
