Summary: You've heard of this in America?
Review: I am continually amazed to see what you can get on region one dvd. With series like blackadder and absolutely fabulous bieng available (better than the u.k. editions, I might add) this should'nt have suprised me but it did.The reason for my suprise is probably down to the fact that L.O.G's dark and sinister humour is not something I thought would be so universally accepted. The blood, sick and urine infested lives of characters such as Tubbs & Edward the local shop owners, the Dentons and their toad collection and Pauline the violent restart officer are totally sick and incredibly funny. The show has the feel of a soap opera with a few psychopaths mixed in. For fans of horror films this is a superb comedy. I can't wait to see what they do with the second series dvd with characters such as Herr Lipp and Papa Lazarou - a character who's almost reached cult status in the U.K. Enjoy!

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: Where the hell is Series 2!!!
Review: Its been available for years in the UK. One can only assume volume 1 didnt sell enough. Its a damn shame, we are being poorly treated here in the states. Thanks BBC. I mean come on guys get your proirities sorted out. This lack of release clearly offers more insight into the BBC than the Hutton report!!! Do the right thing and get Vol. 2 out.

Summary: A Local DVD For Local People Only ! ! !
Review: I have to begin with a warning... this is a series you really have to watch from start to finish. Not only because its addictive but because like "The Prisoner" everything all falls into place by the finale. With each episode, things get more gross and the relationships between the characters get more twisted, especially once you're into the final season (not out on video.) All in all, you'll meet about 60 of the residents of Royston Vassey mostly played by only three actors. (The show itself began on BBC radio... a lot of the characters carried over, though you won't find the Local Shop, and Royston is known as Spent, and there's a hillarious scene in which Mickey wets the carpet during a visualization exersize with Pauline... get the tapes over at Amazon.com's UK site.) Overall, this show is unique. It has been described as Monty Python meets Twin Peaks... I would also have to throw in a bit of the Young Ones, Pedro Almodovar and John Waters. If you can dig that stuff, then you'll definitely enjoy this DVD along with a nice warm glass of aqua vita. You'll have the time of your life...just be sure not to touch the prescious things and refrain from passing solids into the WC ! ! !

Summary: The good, the great, the league of gentlemen
Review: Looking at the reviews, i have been very surprised at how much this is taking off in america. I thought most jokes would not be understood. It is great to see the League getting the status they deserve. You will either love the league of gentlemen or like it. There just isn't any hate! The first series is brilliant, and the second series is just fantastic. This is an essential buy for anyone! It is unique comedy that cannot be compared to anything else. Dark humour that will have you in fits of laughter, and the characters are superb. The extras are excellent and the commentary is worth the money alone. This must be the only dvd which i have listened to the whole 3 hours commentary and found it addictive and funny. So be warned, once you enter the world of the league of gentlemen, You'll Never Leave!

Summary: But where is Series #2?
Review: This is excellent, top-notch, extremely funny, mind-bending. (See the other rave reviews if you want to know more.) What I have to ask is: Where is Series #2? There's far more to Royston Vesey than this disc! Further episodes have been finished for YEARS! But the BBC division that handles DVD manufacturing has so far failed to export a North American-formatted version. You can go to the UK Amazon store and see what all the fuss is about, read the tantalizing descriptions of the further adventures of these insane characters, but until it's available in NA format, you can't watch it over here! (I've e-mailed the Beeb offices; they've failed to reply. Repeatedly. I mean, I was more than polite, I was BEGGING!) The knowledge that there is a Series #2 DVD out there that we can't view is the worst torture imaginable. Can Amazon.com please help? At least start a wish list for it, and maybe the Beeb will notice. Hey! Some of us here thought the evidence was sexed up, too!

Summary: Loved it!!!
Review: What else can I say that has not been said before? This series was so strangely original that it is hard to describe. I think I can: Brilliant! Whenever I feel kind of yucky, I pop this in for a high. So? Where is season 2? I'm waiting for another fix of this greatly underappreciated (or is it undiscovered?) series. Buy it now!

Summary: league of gentlemen
Review: Ive noticed the last few people have been complaining about the non-release of season2 {not to mention season 3,the live and xmas specials}The BBC seems to have no idea what should be released,and i know this by some of the titles in my local dvd store,i mean they are releasing multi disc sets from the 60s and 70s which no one watched when they were on tv.So do what i did contact the BBC and tell them you want all League matrial released here in North America,gee they may even do it !!!
