The League of Gentlemen: The Collection

Hailed as the wickedly comic offspring of Monty Python and Twin Peaks, this addictive British series ignores the boundaries of good taste ... just for laughs. Part sketch comedy, part bizarre soap opera, the show's dozen major characters - all played by the three performers who co-wrote the show - include a distressingly pig-nosed shop owner and a very pre-op transsexual. Features every episode from Series 1-3 plus a classic Christmas special.

Series 1
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.

Series 2
The residents of Royston Vasey are still going about their bizarre business are the established residents, including the obsessively tidy toad-lovers Harvey and Val, piggish local shop-keepers Edward and Tubbs, sadistic Pauline with her pens, sinister butcher Hilary with his ‘special' packages, unfortunate vet Dr Chinnery, Barbara the transexual taxi driver and ageing rocker Les McQueen. In this series, a new charity shop run by the extremely deaf Vinnie and Reenie has opened up, the Mayor has a town-wide nose-bleeding epidemic on his hands and Royston Vasey is playing host to some seriously odd visitors...

Series 3
Surreal, unique and grotesquely funny, this blackest of character comedies returns in a new format. Each episode concentrates on one or two characters and ends in a cliffhanger, linked to a road accident. Transexual taxi driver Barbara is now pregnant, there's romance in the air for Pauline and Mickey, while joke-shop proprietor Lance King gets a sinister new hand and all the visitors accidentally die at the Windermere guest house. As the nosebleed epidemic in Series 2 killed off a large part of the population of Royston Vasey, the dark princes of comedy have also created some wonderfully bizarre new locals, including the sadistic Dr Carlton.
