[TV] League Of Gentlemen Revival

[Whitley Bayster]

What's all this then we'll have no trouble here is a local forum for local people! I love this show every character is sinister and dark but there are so many top one liners, I can't wait for the new shows to air.

I know it sounds odd, but I don't feel in any way interested in seeing them live. I think live shows of this ilk tend to go over the top and end up being a little too " adult " The classic scene in the Jobstart when Pauline loses her rag with Ross and just shouts " Oh P@@@ off Ross " is perfect as it is without it being converted to a F off and that's what tends to happen. Papa, The Denton's and Pop's are frightening enough as it is anyway.

Saw the show they did at the centre as part of the last tour. Wasn’t up to much to be honest and won’t be going this time round. Love the tv version and Number 9/Pyschoville.

"You'll Never Leave..."

Reece Shearsmith presents a 3 hour League-fest of the acclaimed black comedy that began on BBC radio before transferring to BBC TV.

From his dressing room in the heart of London's theatreland, Reece looks back on the cult show he created with Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss and Jeremy Dyson.

From its origins as an award-winning stage show through to its debut on radio, hear how the League's humour was developed from awkward social situations.

Originally set in the grimy, remote northern town of Spent, Reece goes on to explain the initial thrill of transferring the characters to the small screen - when the setting was changed to the town of Royston Vasey.

The League ran for three series on BBC2, with more stage shows, a feature film - and the team reuniting on TV for their 20th anniversary in 2017.

Reece introduces the BBC Radio 4 series of 'On The Town With The League of Gentlemen' produced by Sarah Smith.

Benjamin Denton arrives for a visit to his Uncle Harvey and Auntie Val - in a town of oddball characters, including shopkeeper Mr Ingleby, taxi-driver Barbara, pen-loving Pauline at the Job centre, Mickey, Dr Chinnery and many more...

Quality from start to finish. The vicar/mayor deserves a mention, best lines of the episode?

 

[clapham_gull]

Nice to see a documentary about Lewes on the television for a change.
