'The League of Gentlemen' represents British comedy at its most original, twisted, unique best. Influenced by much classic horror (The Wicker Man, The Shining, The Exorcist, Don't Look Now) Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and, lest we forget, Jeremy Dyson emerge as some of the most talented comedy performers/writers/actors of recent years. Over the course of the three superb series and the quite fantastic Christmas Special (possibly one of the greatest Christmas Specials ever?) the sheer wealth of colourful, bizzarre characters will have you in stitches (Who DOESN'T love Papa Lazarou, eh?) If all British comedy was this good then the rest of the world would probably give up, 'The League..' is inspired - hilarious, original, unique, suprisingly poignant at times and quite without equal. With superb special features, including amazing commentaries on every episode this is timeless comedy that you will watch again and again...
1St of all, this is a complete steal at £14.99! I paid £30 for it and i still felt that i was getting a bargain. This dark series is packed full of weird and wonderful characthers from pauline to papa lazarou. I will say i don't think the jokes found within are for the faint of heart but if you are looking for a completely new and original experience then buy, buy, buy! You wont regret it!
best british comedy for ten years ,dont listen to jay1007uks review he probably likes jim davidson.
Season 3, parts of the film and Christmas Special aside, this is amazing.
Purely pitch black and as sharp as you like, this show is a stunner, with outrageously executed performances.
The only people who wouldn't like this would be Brian Conely fans and those people out there who think Family Guy is better than The Simpsons. And I ask you; do these people really deserve the opinions that they so readily offer?
This is great value for money. Perhaps the most Original Comic team since Monty Python. The characters are unique sometimes horrible but always funny, from Local shopowners 'Tubbs & Edward' to the scary 'Papa Lazarou'. And you will always have great Commentary from the Team. Top Comedy.
