Kevin Eldon's George Martin was one of the highlights of Big Train - it's uncanny. And it's funny because it's such an unusual choice for an impression. The silliness here just adds to the fun. It's ace.
I'm sure B was vaguely amusing for families sitting around the wireless in 1954.

A was ok.
the use of language, camp and lewd double-entendres in B is right up my street. mind you, i'm easily pleased. i've only got to hear williams speak for a smile to be raised.

A is possibly more clever than funny, although the way the scene is cut adds considerably to its impact.. the half dying, open mouthed guy looking on helpless as 'Martin' droned on really made me laugh.
B is an important social document, it's amazing the way the team bought a gay subculture into the mainstream. It doesn't make me laugh though.

Both OTT absurdist British humor, which I tend to like. Tough call between A's spot on Martin caricature, and B's cheekiness. Could really go either way but right now B is amusing me more.

A's alright, it seems to be based on my experience of BCB for a couple of years. Not sure why Kevin Eldon is trying to look like Howard Devoto.
Yeah, B's important and all that. But it didn't make me laugh, and didn't feel funny to me.

A was a waste of time for me.
B wasn't, although I can see how it went down like a cup of cold sick with those who weren't around in the mid-late 1960s (get your decades right, Coan) and aren't particularly into camp, Polari, or Ken Williams's range of funny voices. Written by Barry Took and Marty Feldman.
