Royston Vasey, an isolated hamlet in the North of England,
is home to some of the countries most eccentric, darkly tragic
and disturbing inhabitants. Take for example Barbara the hairy
transexual with the fashion sense of Lilley Savage and a voice
like Bernard Manning or Pauline the vindictive restart officer
who is more interested in her pens than helping anyone find
a job...
The
first series of The League of Gentlemen has received
huge critical acclaim and it's not hard to see why. The three
talented actors play over 60 characters between them and it
is a tribute to the make-up artist that it is not possible
on first viewing to work out who is playing which part.
There
is plenty of material on the DVD to keep fans of the series
happy for hours. There are audio commentary for every episode
as well as a good selection of cut scenes which are worth
a look.
If
you have £20 to blow you could do a lot worse than this.
