This came out when office smoking bans started to take place so Big Train spoofed it and made it about wanking. It even represented the non-smoker who didn't want to have people smoking around him. Or in this case, a non-wanker.

The guy behind Peg holding the stuck figures was the same guy (Kevin Eldon) who played the incomprehensible tech support guy in the IT Crowd, that's likely the last place you saw him. He's been in tons of stuff though, both comedic and dramatic, so you've probably seen his face many times before though not usually as a lead character.

[@jonnno2439]

[@heathcotepursuit8]

The guy you think youve seen before is Kevin Eldon, who is a bit of an unsung hero of British comedy - hes been in and written for quite a few influential comedy shows over the last 3 or 4 decades, often at the surreal end of the comedy spectrum. He was the patient in the sketch you reacted to some days ago, Jam Doctor.

Big Train is really old in comparison to other shows and is not that well known. It's just a sketch show that only has a couple of handfulls of episodes. Most of the people you see in Big Train is their debut. It was kinda like their audition for bigger things... If you can find it you should look at the Ming sketches, all of them. It's pure laughter.

[@welshgit]

People have already mentioned that it's Kevin Eldon. He was in The IT Crowd as the computer supoort person on the phone with the really strong French accent.

[@lawrencegt2229]

The chsp behind Pegg was Kevin Eldon - brilliant. He is scattered throughout Brass Eye & Jam (sexline doctor sketch) & was also the foreign (French? Swedish?) call centre operative in one of the last IT crowd shows. Big Train - look out for the international staring championships

[@Lones555]

Big Train was the launch pad not only for the cast but the writers, if you see what everyone in this cast and writing team has gone on to do since it's pretty much all of UK comedy. Simon Pegg was already known when he did this as he did a lot of stuff with Steve Coogan but I think for the rest this was the first thing they became known for.

[@tobytroubs]

[@lawrencegt2229]

Mark Heap (Jim from FND) as the office manager. Big Train was a brilliantly loony but short-lived show - most of the cast went onto other things - Heap, Amelia Bullimore, Julia Davis & Kevin Eldon turned up variously in Brass Eye & Jam. The Julia Davis sitcom Nighty Night should be on your list.

The guy announcing the "no more wanking" was the only one who didn't appear on I'm Alan Partridge!

Underrated show, so many great sketches.

[@djrizla420]

It’s funny that you said you recognise the guy sitting behind Simon Pegg, because he was in IT Crowd season 2 episode 5 Bad Boys. He was the telephone support guy with the strange accent. It’s funny because you said exactly the same thing in that video and I commented there with the things you might recognise him from (Hot Fuzz and Game of Thrones).1 Also, yes, please react to Spaced. It’s my favourite comedy and it’s only two short seasons, so won’t take long to get through, but thoroughly worth it. Plus, one of the episodes has a scene that was the inspiration for Shawn of the Dead. As for more Big Train, I’ve gone to the trouble of compiling a list of some of the best sketches. KZbin doesn’t like video links, so just type “Big Train” followed by these search terms and they should be the first results. “Alfred Hitchcock spoof” “War time show and tell” “Jockeys in the wild” then “Jockeys stampede” “Showjumpers & firefighters” “Hypnotherapy” “Office politics” “Robot policeman” “Starting blocks”

[@atorthefightingeagle9813]

Big Train was brilliant. Written by the Father Ted writers. The skit with a guy dressed as a cat and one dressed as a mouse in the pub is one of my favourite of all time. Genius.

Big Train was great. Only lasted for two seasons but it had a lot of hilariously bizarre sketches - there are several featuring rock musicians (like Prince hunting down a pack of jockeys on the plains of Africa, Chaka Khan v The Bee Gees in the Wild West, and the legendary medieval knight Keith Emerson). The guy behind Simon Pegg is the wonderful Kevin Eldon, who's been in a lot of comedy shows - including an episode of Black Books, which you've just started watching. And it's still called a wank for both sexes :)

Enjoying your reactions in your office as you really 'get off' on the humour. For some reason missed the Big Train, could of been the time it was on. So had a laugh with this. Spaced is good with the writing by Jessica Hynes, Simon Pegg and the direction by Edgar Wright. Think the style of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and At Worlds End. Another one to consider is Coupling; a very bizarre take on the relationships of a group of friends. In is adult in nature, if you enjoyed this sketch then Coupling is for you. It would be interesting to hear your reaction to a scene then to hear Lady Boomers.

5:24 The guy whose face you recognize is Kevin Eldon. You saw him in one ep of The IT Crowd, in the bomb droid episode, he played a computer phone helpline guy but had an outrageous speaking manner that was incomprehensible. He's in a bunch of UK comedy stuff, he's in one especially good episode of Steve Coogan's 'Saxondale'. And he had a tiny part in Game of Thrones. Spaced is excellent, fast-paced sitcom. Stuffed with movie references. Very funny! You and Queen B will really love it. You'll be gutted when it ends after only 12 eps (like Fawlty Towers).

[@zenzombie72]

Under the radar, for sure. Behind Simon Pegg, (The Actor) Kevin Eldon was in everything. Awesome supporting comic actor. I liked him best in Hyperdrive, with Nick Frost, who you'll discover in Spaced. Hyperdrive really went under the radar. Imagine the inept and quirky British version of Star Trek... It's comedy sci-fi without a laugh track, and it knew it had to be nothing like Red Dwarf.
