'The League Of Gentlemen' Is Back! Mon to Wed (18th. to 20th.) at 10pm, BBC2

16-12-2017 5:37pm#1This is a local thread for local people...there's nothing for you here!
Says the non-Irish person.
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.
The pitch-black comedy finished on BBC2 in 2002 and was followed by a film in 2005, The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse. But since then… nothing.
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!”
The BBC are stripping the return across the BBC 2 schedule in the week before Christmas as a pre-Yuletide treat. So it will air on Monday 18th December, Tuesday 19th December and Wednesday 20th December. All episodes will be broadcast at 10pm on BBC2.
Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith play all the main characters, although expect some surprise castings in store, with Car Share’s Sian Gibson popping up in a cameo role in episode one. Fellow writer Jeremy Dyson doesn’t appear – but with the League of Gentlemen you never know what might happen….

I hope Les McQueen of Crème Brulee makes a comeback. Again!
One of the all-time great comedy characters - he'd walk in a urinal, and heads would turn!9

For me, ‘Stump Hole Caverns’ is one of the greatest comedy sketches of all time.
The writing, the performance, the way the back story is teased out - genius.0 -
