The best office comedy of the last 10 years has - in our opinion - not been broadcast on the BBC or Netflix or HBO. It has been aired on Twitter dot com over the past six months. It features the great comedian Bob Mortimer talking to himself. Mortimer's videos of the so-called 'Train Guy' facetiming his colleague Colin about various work adventures (and the occasional face-to-face with the esteemed Geoff Linton) before he departs the train for another day of grinding in Achievement City are some of the funniest gifts the internet has given us over the past year.
Loyal listeners to the Athletico Mince podcast will be familiar with Train Guy- he sounds an awful lot like Barry C Homeowner, one of the standout characters from the show.
Given the surging popularity of these videos, we've decided to put all of them in one place. You can chart hus evolution by scrolling through these videos.
