Big Train clip - Mark Heap & Gymnastics

[wonderboy86uk]

I loved this show instantly when it was first aired on TV and this was one of my favourite sketches from it. It's still fresh now. Can't believe how old it is already!

[marajade893]

Man, he had AMAZING legs back in the day...WOW

[2plang]

The clip is classic, no question. I'm disappointed no one has mentioned the other classic tucked in here; the Chemical Brothers/Spike Jonze reference/parody. Mainly at the start with Chemical Brothers - Eletrobank playing, no less but the whole set is clearly done in the same vane.

[BradMD69]

Come on, Suzanne!

[RekkrVakaViss]

This is like watching a contemporary expressive dance aimed at metaphorising this silliness of 'the apprentice' series.

[Bnoinhovaem]

Can anyone tell me the name of music in the clip, please!

Thanks

[hornetgags]

@Bnoinhovaem Montague and Capuletsby Prokofiev

[watcher18893]

hes great but its a pity he got so large

[The1962driftingaway]

Absolutely demented . . .

[MrHiLendr]

U almost behave or just knwingly pretend that HE  would not be the character brought to near life by *IcantTell* from *NoClueWhere* just to keep *WeAllKnow" Him Happy

right?

or Am I ? :D

[ChingfordSpur]

The dive at 2:45 is sublime.

[YakChap]

He's pretty good.

[FuCKuP2]

oh man, how did he not laugh?! loooool

[becshki]

why isnt this on tv or have i just not seen it???

[EmiSnakesSs]

I just waste 3:30 of my life..

[rmosborn78]

I loved Mark Heap so much as Dr. Statham.

[clawpuss2]

Mark Heap rules - check out Spaced where he plays a nuerotic artist

[fraankie1]

Fucking apprentice ruined this piece of music ...

[fourplusseven]

@fraankie1 Prokofiev, romeo and juliet, dance of the knights

[dalymc]

SUZANNE!!!!!! PMSL.....god the first girl was shit!!!!

[Bones666SimonPegg]

So much better than that other girl!!!!!

[Panico2]

susanne uppingham. well played, that man.

[kameguchii]

lmao! that poor girl was awesome though xP

[rockbloodyon]

He's such a great physical actor XD

[mcallen83]

Mark Heap has balls!

[shogundang]

It's driving me nuts. Anyone know the name of the symphony piece in the background during Mark Heap?

[BGarcia02]

Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, Suite No. 2

[shogundang]

Thanks!

[elviswolfboy]

Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights.

[JonasEisenbarth]

Dance of the Knights by Sergei Prokofiev

[Isanion]

aaaw, i wanted to hear his score

[shamickgaworski]

This reminds me of Chappelle show (USA) when he is in party/bar and says that in slow motion everything looks better ... :-)

[Draculix]

I'm gay for mark heap.

[pennydesouza]

Good taste. I'm straight for him.

[MutantEnemyGirl]

I watched the first 15 seconds of him in the leotard through my fingers. Lol, I've so far watched this 3 more times in one sitting. Brilliant.

[ealaspada]

Not only is the Heap himself genius, but so was the decision to not put him in make up or a wig or anything. It's just Mark Heap in a leotard as a 14 year old girl..

[qlight]

I offer 3 goats for Mark Heap. 4 for any girl that does better than him.

[morningview817]

i feel so lightheaded from laughing so damn hard! only a true genius like him could pull that off with such poise.

[quantumquantum]

First time I saw this I was on the floor rolling around in laughter and couldn't breathe. Literally. Mark Heap is an unknown treasure I feel. (Like Kevin Eldon)

[daveghaxton]

when he starts at 1:33,that cracks me up every time

[savethesnail]

where is mark heap nowadays?

[Asarelah]

He's on Lark Rise to Candleford.

[TheAnxiousMan]

Voiceovers and shit dramas

[Asarelah]

It takes a lot of grace to look that clumsy.

[SyrenUK]

Mark Heap = Genius

[playerthe2nd]

absolute class.

[azzamot]

who are the other girls and grown ups ? what must they have thought of this hilarious sight of mark heap in a leotard

doing girls gymnastics , I thought it was hilarious! Im amazed the P C brigade havent popped out shouting about protential child abuse and encouraging paedophiles and perverts and other stupid accusations , still very good great fun:] very funny:]

[reynaldomonterrey]

what a fawker,ha ha ha!!!

[AnonymouslySly]

such grace :')

[themoldypeach14]

awesome! and the way he falls over at 2:45 Gold!!

[torresmatt]

Oooh....this even predates Will Farrell's ribbon-dance from Old School.

[BoOmInDaRoOm]

he woulda kicked ass if he were at Beijing!!! :P:P:P

[Sharkey1997]

Mark Heap is so underrated, this is a genius performance, nothing less.

[pa20002000]

@Sharkey1997 I dont think the Beeb appreciated the team they had for Big Train...Heap, Eidon and Pegg - with Mathews and Linehan writing = makes you wonder why it only made two series.

[Mike209000]

@pa20002000 Some things are just best left at their best. The trend with what starts off as a great series and keeps getting more series added on is that it gets progressively worse, and the first couple of series, when the show was at its best, can't be appreciated to the extent it would be had those extra series not been made.

[BenjiMoore]

@Sharkey1997

Agreed, although I'd add Kevin Eldon to that list of underrated legends. These guys have been going forever yet they're still relatively unknown.

[narono]

hahaha, priceless!!!!! :D

[Dn2kproductions]

2:32 the madonna (vogue) is my fav part xD

[ealaspada]

So simple...and yet so debilitatingly hilarious!

[saveusobk]

Fried Gold...I looove love love Mark Heap:)

[youbecame]

[CharitableView]
