Season 1
Welcome to Royston Vasey. You'll Never Leave!
Synopsis
The League of Gentlemen (1999), Season 1 watch online on iFILM — six episodes of BBC Two's pitch-black sketch comedy and your first trip to Royston Vasey.
Three performers — Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith — play nearly every resident in town. At the Local Shop, Tubbs and Edward dread the new road that might let outsiders in. Pauline runs the job centre like a tyrant. Vet Dr Chinnery kills every animal he touches. And poor Ben simply cannot get out of his aunt and uncle's house. The six episodes tighten toward one question: can anyone leave Royston Vasey?
The four-man troupe, Jeremy Dyson among them, carried their stage and radio act onto the screen. The comedy is surreal and mean, and not for everyone — which is rather the point. Stream The League of Gentlemen Season 1 online on iFILM.
