It’s Monday, so it’s time for the Big Train sketch of the week.
It was only a matter of time, but here it is, one of the most iconic Big Train sketches of all: the 43rd world stare-out finals. Some serious fights here. Nice commentary, too. This is pretty much what watching football and tennis feels like to me, BTW.
You can, incidentally, get the whole of Big Train on DVD.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
