The League of Gentlemen

I've been re-watching this from the first episode over the last few days. the first series was 1999 - 24 years ago! Wikipedia describes it as "comic horror". and it was certainly pretty gruesome in places. Also pretty politically incorrect: they'd never get away with Papa Lazarou now, and I'm surprised they did then. Brilliant, though. Recommended for a revisit, if you've got a spare evening or two.

Loved it - watched it when it first came out.

Went to see the stage show when it came to Glasgow, when a good number of the audience turned up as Papa Lazarou - and you're right, in that I doubt they'd get away with that now.

Shearsmith and Pemberton went on to do Inside No.9 - which is brilliant.

Watched series three over the last two days. I'd never seen it before. In some ways not as good as the previous two. but the recurring carrier bag / van crash motif was interesting, each time seen from a different point of view, and a bit more revealed of the details.
