About this show

Enter the weird and wonderfully twisted world of Royston Vasey - an isolated and rather odd town somewhere in the North. Its singular inhabitants lead dark lives, from Dr Chinnery, the lethally incompetent vet to Pauline, the monstrous Restart Officer at the Job Centre. The town's strange inhabitants are ferried about by Barbara, the meaty taxi-driving transsexual and served by Tubbs and Edward, the inbred local shop-owning couple with a mortal hatred of strangers.

I WASTED ALMOST 2 POUNDS ON SOMETHING THAT DOESNT WORK!!! I like the league of gentlemen and series 2 episode 1 doesn't work. On DVD AND Google play movies & TV. Please fix Play Movies & Tv , google I am a big fan of the amazing show. Or at least, please refund my £1.82.

Low rating given for very poor 480p picture quality not the excellent show. Nowhere near good enough to watch on anything larger than a 5" screen.

I can't fault this series at all , it's humour , it's references to horror movies and the fact it was a breath of fresh air when it was first broadcast in 1999 make this my favourite of all times , if you like your humour blacker than the night , then this is for you,
