...and World Staring obviously
I was hoping someone would say so. Since I bought the box set a while back I've become convinced that the Staring contests might be the best comedy sketch I've ever seen.
Stiff competition from the Mao Virginia Plain karaoke and this though:
- mainly for The Actor Kevin Eldon's walk as he's passing the doorway.

Big train was shit.
What, were you all teenagers when it was on?

it was brilliant. i still watch it from time to time - unlike other comedies, it hasn't dated at all.
i can't watch the fast show anymore, or bottom or any of those 'kids' shows, but big train bears repeat viewing

Your judgement has been impaired ever since you bought that jacket

All those shows were rubbish.
First post on the whole thread saying it was shit ^
Given your 'form' though I think we can all ignore this and carry on liking it.

they were pretty funny at the time. i bit cringey to watch now admittedly.

There was nothing else on at the time so I think I watched bits of them all from time to time.
Big Train was mostly duff. Like the fast show, it's WTF moments were never fast enough. The whole thing felt like abstract riffing rather than comedy. Couple of moments, though personally I HATE HATE HATE the artist formally known as prince stalking the jockeys, and I am a big Morris fan for the most part.
I loved this early effort that came free with select roughly around the time everyone was listening to Steve Wright in the afternoon.

i like the one with the sexy puppet, the one with the brother in jail reading his sister's letter, the jockeys and the firemen, mao doing virginia plain, the adopted bloke meeting his mum, shit, all of them. there was barely a duff sketch.

This is just brilliant

That was definitely one of my favourites
One of the things that was great about the series was that they generally played everything deadly seriously, and fully committed to the premise... premises? Premisi?
e2a: that's Graham Linehan's voice!

Yeah, he was involved with creating it with Arthur Mathews (who's playing drums on the Mao sketch)

Yes, maybe I missed the beginning or something.

Clearly missed something.
Faithful Party member saying "Don't try to sing" to Mao on his deathbed in not-quite-enough-of-a-Chinese-accent to be actually offensive. How can you not find that funny?

Oh well.

So many particulars. So many questions.
the staring championships used to make me die laughing. I think the illustrator did a book of them.
