The League of Gentlemen

Series

The League of Gentlemen is a British sitcom broadcast on BBC Two over three series from 1999 to 2002. In the fictional Northern England town of Royston Vasey-based on Bacup, Lancashire-the lives are explored of dozens of bizarre citizens, much of whom are played by three of the show's four writers-Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith-who, along with Jeremy Dyson, formed the titular comedy troupe in 1995. The programme was followed by a film in 2005, and a three-part revival miniseries in December 2017 to celebrate the group's 20th anniversary.
