The League of Gentlemen review
Edward and Tubbs are squatting, and the jobcentre has been relocated. Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson have had fun deciding what the years have done to their monsters.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 19th December 2017It says as much about the cultural inertia of this century as well as the passing of time that, crikey, it's almost 19 years since The League of Gentlemen first graced our screens, making stars of Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and Mark Gatiss. They return in their grotesque guises to Royston Vasey; the fact that the actors have aged adds an extra layer of eeriness (and makeup) to their familiar creations.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 18th December 2017The League Of Gentlemen: preview
The devil not only has the best tunes, he has the best comedy characters, too, and this lot must be in League with him.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 18th December 2017The League of Gentlemen review
Still in a league of their own.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 18th December 2017The League of Gentlemen 2017 review
A pitch-perfect reunion that's wonderfully horrifying.
Catherine Pearson, Digital Spy, 18th December 2017The League Of Gentlemen Episode 1 review
Visual gags and references litter the frame for diehard fans to unpack.
Adam Starkey, Metro, 18th December 2017The League Of Gentlemen series 4 episode 1 review
There's a delightful string of visual gags on the streets of the town, including signs in the boarded up shop fronts and Mrs Levinson's cleaner Iris dropping a bag of dog poo in a charity donations box, but as with the original show these aren't isolated sketches. Everything is linked...
Catherine Pearson, Den Of Geek, 18th December 2017Preview: The League Of Gentlemen, Episode 1, BBC2
he result is a clever blend of mainly familiar and briefly unfamiliar, which makes you feel as if the programme has never been away. Maybe it has evolved but not very far. "The world's moved on," we are told at one point. Not that much for Royston Vasey though. In a Good Way.

British Comedy Guide, 15th December 2017League of Gentleman specials: spoiler-free preview
Comedy revivals often feel a bit forced, but nothing here feels like its been dusted off or reheated.
