YMMV / Big Train

• Harsher in Hindsight: The sketch involving Keith Emerson, which makes reference to the fact that Carl Palmer drowned. As of December 2016, Palmer is the last member of the band left alive.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The sketch about Billie Piper.^note Justified in that when Big Train was made, between 1998 and 2000, Billie Piper was a teen-pop star that nobody took seriously: Doctor Who was five years away, and it's now forgotten that her appearance in it was widely regarded as Stunt Casting because nobody (except the show itself) thought she'd be so good. Not to mention Simon Pegg starred in an episode of Doctor Who along side Piper and Catherine Tate became a Doctor Who companion.
  • The sketch about passing off ideas as your own in respect to doubling the price of petrol. Guess what's happened the last few years.
• Nightmare Fuel: this reunion of an adopted son with his real mother.
