Big Train (Seasons 1–2)

Big Train (1998) is a British sketch comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews — the pair behind Father Ted — wrote the show and filled it with characters who live by their own baffling private rules.

Every episode runs on its own off-kilter logic: a man paralysed by fear of spoons, an alien who complains that his threatening face gives people the wrong idea, a police officer so committed to not asking questions that he becomes useless at the job. An early showcase for Simon Pegg, years before Shaun of the Dead made him a familiar face. Stream Big Train online on iFILM.
