They are from Big Train an old British sketch show, which I think was Simon Pegg's first TV break as well.

I spent a while looking through some of these. Hilarious. Of course, since my taste in comedy has been "discredited" by people who know comedy so much better, that might not be a good thing.

I've never heard of Big Train before but that was sweet. Wasn't Pegg in another sketch series as well?

Perhaps you are thinking of "Six Pairs of Pants" where he was with Jessica Stevenson (now Hynes), who he went on to have cult success with Spaced (probably his big break).

At mention of Spaced I need to include this clip

Follow up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUKP0Tsiw1g

which no doubt inspired http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNuRQmvykwk

At this point perhaps this thread needs moving to the Media forum and have "(and Simon Pegg love-in)" added to the thread title.

I always figured you were cerebrally attached to some bio-computer in an orbiting space-station. This forces me to took on you in a new light.
