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 2017The 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.

Adam Starkey, Metro, 21st December 2017TLOG review: still the masters of creeping unease
Few people do creeping unease as well as The League of Gentlemen team and right from the start this long-awaited return did its best to raise the hairs on the back of the neck and turn saliva sour in the mouth.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 21st December 2017The Gents are still Leagues ahead
Cashing in or not, the Gentlemen have maintained the macabre standards they set at the turn of the Millennium. Old favourites are here, though many of them have aged badly.
