I've tried so hard to dig the cult of The League of Gentlemen but I'd be just as well trying to dig the Cult of Sol Invictus. Gnosticism aside, this one goes way, way over my head. I've watched every episode and it leaves me stone cold. Not a single laugh. Not a hint of a guffaw or a titter.

Cameron Borland, Off The Telly, 26th September 2002

On this occasion The League of Gentlemen's genuine cultural enthusiasm had strayed a little too far into self-indulgence. As the series credits rolled for the last time, one was left hankering for one final sketch or joke.

Jack Kibble-White, Off The Telly, 18th February 2000
