Marty Feldman

[Rhisiart]

Quaint British comedy.

Hm.

I've never really seen Marty Feldman's work, but this seemed quite innocent and made me smile. A sketch series of recent years that I really liked, although it is not that well known, was Big Train. It's a bit difficult finding videos of favorite sketches (such as the tyrant), but I found a few that weren't too bad.

Do you speak English?

Murder at the dinner table (good old English social embarrassment!)

Passing off others' opinions as your own (more social embarrassment)

Work place policy (warning: some "adult themes," shall we say...)

Well, I quite like them, anyway!

just found this:

Mike Watt - Big Train

it's a nice little realisation of 'inspiration'. Mike Watt was the name of Nick Frosts character in his screen debut in Spaced, co-written written by Simon Pegg and featuring Mark Heap, both of Big Train acclaim....

Hm.

OK, it's not Seinfeld. Anyway my daughter enjoyed it.

She also enjoyed this.

This is perhaps the most popular Big Train sketch.

Marty Feldman died too young. He was a great performer.
