Outsiders are not welcome in Royston Vasey, a strange, remote village where the locals are either sadists or unnaturally obsessed with sex, or both. Plans for a new road meet with fierce resistance, especially from the owners of the local shop, a murderous couple who have unusually weird methods of disposing of the opposition.
In a tour de force that's often referred to as "Monty Python meets Twin Peaks," three actors portray over 60 characters as they bring an entire community of hilariously inbred locals to life. Once you're hooked on The League of Gentlemen and Royston Vasey, you'll never leave. Contains all six episodes from Series 1.
Includes the episodes:
Welcome to Royston Vasey: Ben struggles to take in Auntie Val and Uncle Harvey's incomprehensible house rules, while Martin poses a threat to the precious things in Tubbs and Edward's Local Shop. At the local job center, Pauline is furious when someone lands an interview without her help. Taxi driver Babs makes middling progress through her sex change.
The Road to Royston Vasey: The new road is good news for everyone except Tubbs and Edward. Pauline coaches a workshop in selling The Big Issue, and we meet butcher Hilary Briss, video hounds Henry and Ally, and the formidable Reverend Bernice.
Nightmare in Royston Vasey: Tubbs sees a map and discovers the world beyond Royston Vasey. Pauline buckles under pressure in the interview techniques workshop, and a terrible discovery is made on the road-building site.
The Beast of Royston Vasey: As the monstrous discovery drives workers to flee the road construction site. Mr. Chinnery is called in to investigate the find. Legz Akimbo, a theatre-in-education group, pays the school an eye-opening visit, and Ben is left alone with the twins.
Loves Comes to Royston Vasey: Mike's getting married. In retrospect it may have been a mistake to let Geoff be best man. Les McQueen regales the band with reminiscences of the rock-n-roll days. The Dentons mourn the passing of Uncle Harvey's beloved toads, Sonny and Cher.
Escape from Royston Vasey: Tubbs and Edward have an unexpected visit from their son, David. It's Geoff birthday, but have Mike and Ben forgotten? Ben grows more desperate to leave his uncle's house, and it's Operation Day for Babs.
