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.
The
video release of this series contains all 6 episodes on one
tape but the
£15.99 asking price seems a little steep when another
£4 will get you the extras that come with the DVD.
If
you don't own a DVD player then this will have to do until
you can upgrade. It's still worth purchasing, just not as
satisfying.
