The League of Gentlemen Series 1
The League of Gentlemen is set in the fictional location of Royston Vasey, an isolated, dead-end and rather odd provincial town somewhere in the north of England.
Remarkably, over 60 characters – male and female – are played with astonishing range and detail by just three of the League, with such extraordinarily convincing performances
and make-up that a casual viewer may not even realise the fact.
Visit Royston Vasey, and find out just why this series has won more awards than you can shake a stick at.
