4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Successor to Monty Python, April 29, 2006

This review is from: Big Train - Series 1 & 2 [1998] (DVD)
Please note first that the listed product details are wrong. This is a region 2 DVD, and consequently WILL NOT PLAY ON AMERICAN DVD PLAYERS. As far as I am aware, Big Train has never been released over here. That said, if you have a multi-region player, this is one of the funniest sketch shows released in years. Similiar in format and approach to Monty Python, the Big Train team delight in juxtaposing the ridiculous with the everyday--the sketches of Ming the Merciless at home and, later, being visited in hospital by his friend being classic examples. As with Monty Python, however, the sketches are pretty hit and miss. While some border on genius, others will just leave you with a puzzled expression on your face. The quality also dips towards the end of the series, as if all the best ideas were exhausted early on. That said, there are plenty of gems here, and once you've watched both series, the inclusion of a scene select feature means you can also go back to just the ones you want.
