The fantastically hilarious dark comedy 'the league of gentlemen' returns with 3 new special episodes.
If you have not seen league of gentlemen, you will love it or hate it .
"Okey, cokey pig in a pokey, your local show for local people The League of Gentlemen is back for three new specials to mark 20 years since its radio debut."
"What is The League of Gentlemen about?
The new shows reunites Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson as the residents of fictional Royston Vasey. The crazy northern town (the real name of comedian Roy “Chubby” Brown, as it happens) is a dangerous place full of wild eccentrics and menace.
Characters include Edward and Tubbs Tattsyrup – owners of the “local shop” which we last saw burning down – and Benjamin, the hapless visitor and one of the few sane people around (“normal’ people often don’t last long but he is clearly made of stern stuff). Other memorable characters included the local butcher Hilary Briss (played by Gatiss) who served a ‘special meat’ and sinister clown Papa Lazarou, who called everyone “Dave” and enjoyed kidnapping people while repeating his catchphrase: “You’re my wife now!”
