i wish bbc would stop putting the entire plot in the titles for me this sketch would have been better if i wasn't waiting for a Billie Piper reference surely the sketch is juxtaposition these kind of people in this kind of tv program/film shouldn't be talking about Billie Piper
It's so people can find the sketch when they search for it. I think that's the majority compared to people who happen upon it and see it for the first time.
They'll probably throw her in some cgi-filled attempt at reviving Doctor Who, that crap old show with the cardboard spaceships, misguidedly thinking that'll appeal to the "yoof". There's no way something like that would be a success.
I quoted that bit because the audience didn't laugh at it and it deserved a laugh because the word "creatively" is usually reserved for musicians with more pretensions or more explicitly conceptual work.
I ALWAYS laugh when he says "Adam Rickitt", just something about the delivery and the banality of it, but the point ofthe sketch is actually quite moving.
This is definitely up there with some of my favourite Big Train sketches. Along with the Cat and Mouse post-pub fight, the new office manager ("no way! I cannot believe it. The guy is a w*nker!"), and Stephen Randygland.
I'm watching this again because in a 2018 sitcom Derry Girls, at a party they all dance to Saturday Night by.... Whigfield! I instantly remembered the Adam Rickett line and had to watch it again.
Maybe it's because I'm not British, but I don't get the joke. Who is Sonia? Honestly, I didn't get any of the references. But it was still funny the way they did the whole thing.
anonimuso Sonia was a U.K. singer/pop star for a short while back in the 90s, so you’d be forgiven for not getting that reference! A lot of the references in big train are quite specific - I have to look them up from time to time as they often escape me too.
Wow. Replying to an 11 year old comment. Ok...she may have seen the sketch, or heard about it, even though Big Train wasnt popular, but Simon Pegg wasnt famous when he made the show. Its highly unlikely Billie would have remembered his face from the sketch. See you all in 2034.
@@TheGrenfellRatio I remember it being fairly popular. I agree that she probably wouldn't have associated Simon Pegg with that specific sketch, which she may well have forgotten even existed by the time she worked with him.

Up until 2004, apparently. Now it's the occasional TV role. She's suffered the complete eclipse of a career that only perhaps half a dozen older women, like Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Meryl Streep, etc. escape.

There are tons of middle-aged and older women in film and tv, especially British tv. Patsy's main problem wasn't getting older. It was the fact that she wasn't a very good actor.
the dubbed voices of the children hark back to 50's films and tv shows. Adults would be dubbed as children. The old fashioned setting is perfect. As if that type of family would care about Billy Piper.
A 90's singer. Her first album was produced by Stock Aitken and Waterman and was moderately successful. She entered Eurovision and released a few albums after that but soon fell into obscurity.
They are making fun of a technique often used in British 50s B-movies where children were dubbed with the voices of adults pretending to be children. Don't ask me why that was done in the 50s (actors' unions, minimising retakes?), but it's typical of Big Train's attention to detail.

There was a period in the late 90s (ish) where actors from Eastenders (long-running british soap) got big pushes to be singers - Michelle Gayle was another one, thankfully can't think of more. I think it was largely inspired by the Australian soap Neighbours (extremely popular in the UK then) and how that kept generating people like Kylie. But of them all, only Kylie really made anything.

Massively underrated show. Big Train and The Fast Show - trendsetters for comedy, they did things other comedy shows only dreamed of.

Even the actor, Kevin Eldon.
