Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton interview

"I think it's the relentless invention," said Reece. "Every week you get a new story and a new world and the beauty is you don't have to commit to it. You'll get a good little tale in half an hour. It's like Tales of the Unexpected... or a bag of Revels."

The League of Gentlemen Anniversary Specials review

15 years since the last series aired and 20 years since the comedy troupe came to be, The League of Gentlemen reunited for a brief, but brilliant visit to the wonderfully twisted town of Royston Vasey.

Anneka Honeyball, The National Student, 26th December 2017

The queasily wonderful The League of Gentlemen returned for three nights only, and has lost little of its grotesque charm nor its appalling beslimed humour. A fine swansong, but it's hard not to recall the urgent freshness, the otherness, with which Gatiss and co first invaded our screens: sic transit gloria vasey.
