July 2010 at the BFI

24 May 2010 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Time for our regular look at what TV’s on at the South Bank in London in July. Things to look forward to include a massive look at Brian Clemens’ work (including two Q&As, one devoted entirely to The Avengers), one of Jonathan Ross’s good shows (The Incredibly Strange Film Show), two episodes of Out of the Unknown, and a reshowing of Chimera followed by a Q&A with Stephen Gallagher and director Lawrence Gordon Clark

Big Train

Big Train sketch of the week: hypnotherapy

Big Train

It’s Monday, so it must be time for the Monday Big Train sketch!

Oh wait, y’all probably didn’t know that since I’m improbably launching this exciting new feature for the blog this week, despite the fact I’m on holiday next week. But, yes, the plan is that every Monday we’ll have a choice sketch from late 90s/early 00s sketch show Big Train, which starred Simon Pegg, Julia Davis, Kevin Eldon, Mark Heap, Amelia Bullmore, Catherine Tate, Rebecca Front, Tracy-Ann Oberman and many other talented people – it was also written by Father Ted creators Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews.

We’re launching the Monday Big Train sketch slot with one of my faves – the hypnotherapy session with Mark Heap, Julia Davis, Simon Pegg and Kevin Eldon. Enjoy, and if you’d like to nominate a sketch for week two, let me know.

You can, incidentally, get the whole of Big Train on DVD since it does have highly entertaining commentaries. But you probably guessed that already.
