Lots of sketch shows touch people in different ways, two of my recent favourites being That Mitchell & Webb Look and Armstrong & Miller, and the British heyday of the sketch show was the 90's with The Fast Show, The Real McCoy, Naked Video, Absolutely, Goodness Gracious Me, etc, but nothing has the same effect on me as Big Train does. I might giggle at a few bits of a 90's sketch show, but Big Train just destroys me :D

@FilimboUK The VHS i had was from the the first time it was on and it DEFINITELY did have a laughing track. It was more of a recorded studio audience than a laughing track. As for the stare out world finals, the "Richard Gere in the audience" always got a big laugh from the laugh track. That I very much remember.

@FilimboUK From Wikipedia: Both series were shot entirely on location (series one on 35mm film and series two on DigiBeta) and later shown to a live audience so that a laugh track could be recorded. I caught it the first time around. It never went out without a laugh track. Never heard of a show resorting to a laugh track to save it. Maybe I wrong about that one, would love for you to tell me a few.

@thebegtets wiki is wrong. there was no laugh track when this went out. the key word perhaps is LATER. It was filmed, edited, they showed it once on bbc2, it did nothing, they LATER showed it to a studio audience and added the laugh track. Producers are always panicking and adding laughs, woody allen does a whole scene in annie hall about it. Series 2 possibly was shown with laughs, then they went back and added them to 1, but first time, no.

Baloney. The only sketches without laugh tracks are the deleted scenes. The shows were all shown to an audience and the laughter recorded and transmitted - including the first time it was shown.

@FilimboUK Just saw your other post on another website about no laugh track. I really feel you are incorrect about this one, Surely if a version of this existed without the laugh track it would show up on some search of even one of the sketches. i have had this verified by friends who agree that there was a laughing track on the first broadcast of this, even though they would prefare if it wasn't. Could you provide proof? I'd actually like to hear them without the laugh track.

@thebegtets No, the first screening had no laugh track. They added one for the repeat. The vhs you have is probably from the repeat screening. I clearly remember both this and the stare out finals having no laugh track whatsoever, the series fizzled out, they panicked and added one.
