Summary: I've watched it twelvety times!
Review: A genuine pleasure! I've long adored Monty Python and Ab Fab, but have long since committed their entire respective canons to memory. What a treat to happen upon something that's equally funny, but fresh in its own twisted way. These three tremendously talented men are great at creating a quirky sense of character, but they also throw a mean punchline. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but good edgy fun for anyone who thinks xenophobia, micturation, and exploding turtles just might be funny.

Summary: League of Gentlemen
Review: The LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN is absolutely brilliant I own the region 2 version and I have never stopped watching it! I actually live in the village which Roysten Vasey is based on, in England! I especially like TUBBS AND EDWARD who own the local shop and PAULINE the restart officer. I have also seen the second series which hasn't been released on video or dvd yet and is even better than series 1! The are loads of great characters in series 1 like TUBBS, EDWARD, IRIS, PAULINE, MIKI, HARVEY, VALL, HILLARY and BARBARA. There are even more introduced in series 2 like DAVID (who has mutated), PAPA LAZAROU, MAMA LAZAROU and many more! And does anybody actually know what is in HILLARY BRISS'S special stuff, I would sure like to know!

Summary: What The....?!?!?!
Review: An extraordinary cross between Monty Python and Twin Peaks! Subversive, offensive, shocking and extremely entertaining!

Summary: Hokey cokey, pig-in-a-pokey
Review: This is the most sick, twisted and bizarre TV series I have ever seen, bar none -- it makes Twin Peaks look like 90210. It's also very, very funny.If you don't get BBC America, this is your best chance to see the series as intended -- Comedy Central seem to dub over an extra-loud laugh track, perhaps to try and reassure the audience that it's OK to laugh at what's on screen, and they also show it pan-and-scan instead of letterboxed.

Summary: The best comedy show for years
Review: YOU MUST OWN THIS DVD! This series is fantastic. It is full of very dark humour and disturbing but hilarious characters. The audio commentary is the icing on the cake! Hopefully series 2 will be on DVD soon, so we can see Papa Lazarou!

Summary: The League of Gentlemen
Review: Alright, let me just start out by saying that this is, by far, the BEST sketch comedy show I've seen since Monty Python's Flying Circus. I decided on ordering this product after seeing just one episode of this hilarious, witty, and highly demented British comedy series. EVERY episode will have you bursting with laughter. This, my friend, I assure you. If you've been eagerly waiting for something different yet strangely comforting, I HIGHLY recommend you checking this out. All of the characters have their own uniqueness. Something you don't see in today's sketch comedy. The three actors/comedians that play all of these characters are simply brilliant. THIS IS A MUST HAVE!

Summary: The League of Gentlemen: Series 1
Review: If you're wondering if you should buy this, the answer is YES. If you are a TLoG fans, this DVD is a must have! A cross between sketch comedy & soap opera sitcom, the entire series 1 is presented here unedited, giving us an even closer look at the fictional northern english town of Royston Vasey. This community is inhabited by over 60 characters, portrayed by only 3, extremely talented, actors. But wait! That's not all! In addition, the DVD includes a separate soundtrack of the Gents discussing each scene & character as they watch along, continually commenting on their creative process, character development, & early stage performances. Finally, we are treated to a healthy handful of outtake scenes that were never included in series 1 (although some jokes were reworked in series 2). Thank the powers that be (including BBC, Time Warner, etc) for releasing such entertainment & please start the process of making available to us series 2 on DVD.

Summary: surreal vasey
Review: The league of gentlemen gas been on British tv for some time. It has it's own collective of loyal fans and has become a cult classic. If you like the bizzareness of python then you will like it. It's original, British humour at it's best.

Summary: Are you local???
Review: As an avid fan of the LOG via Comedy Central, I was shocked to read some of the British fan sites of the show to find out that Comedy Central had edited the shows! I was disappointed see that I wasn't getting clean, pure and local episodes!!! After praying, along with other fans, on the BBC chat board about rumors of a video release...I was pleased to find it on Amazon! I've had my DVD preordered for about a month now & I'm counting the seconds until it arrives on my doorstep. Kudos to BBC, BBC America, Warner Bros. and Amazon for making this possible!!!
