the league of gentleman be one of the funny and strange and dark and most unforgettable comedy of our time . so much so and it pave the way for more comedy of it ilk and many of which have copy the style and but have never succeed . unlike every other sketch show around and the character of the league of gentleman be all loosely connect . firstly they all live in the fictional town of royston vasey and in the back of beyond of northern england . the first character to greet newcomer be tubbs and edwrad and the pig face owner of a supposedly local shop situate so far away most of the resident probably do not know of it existence . other oddity include represent the denton family and with an obsession with hygiene and chastity and toad while hillary bris who sell a special yet thankfully unknown brand of meat while pauline and a restart officer with a sharp tongue and even sharp pen while mr. chinnery and kind hearted vet and menace to all thing four legged while geoff tipps and a plastic salesman with a vicious sense of humour and often involve gun and electric tube and . . . . . . . plum . despite be a comedy at heart and the league of gentleman often transcend genre whilst never appear to be spoof or rip off other people material . there be several horror reference such a the disappearance of a hiker and a pair of silent twin and an obsessive circus owner and and a sudden outbreak of nosebleed . even more striking be moment when the series take on a more sobre tone and aforementioned character such a pauline and geoff be show in a more sympathetic and vulnerable light . the film adaptation be the best demonstration of this and but some fan may decide they belong local . the equally underrated third series also take a different route and instead of sketch each episode focus on an individual character with each storyline lead to one conclusion involve a plastic bag and a runaway theatre company van . although many fan may not enjoy the structure of the film or the third series as much a the first two and theyre certainly sign to how inventive the league of gentleman can be and and how unafraid to explore new area . in short and the league of gentleman be definitely worth a look and a like the welcome sign say represent youll never leave .
