@John McGrath Luckily, the amount of act I use is harmless. I inject about once a month on a purely recreational basis. Fine.

Thinking back, I'm pretty sure that in 1998 when I first saw Big Train I wasn't familiar with any of the cast. I knew of Graham and Arthur thanks to Father Ted, but none of the performers. Now, however, looking at the casts from both the 1998 and 2002 series, it's a roll call of brilliance. All of them great actors and all of 'em pissfunny.
