League of Gentleman specials: spoiler-free preview

Comedy revivals often feel a bit forced, but nothing here feels like its been dusted off or reheated.

Rob Smedley, Cult Box, 15th December 2017

It seems hard to believe that children have been born and and done their GCSEs since the cameras last ventured into Royston Vasey - and perhaps the renaissance of this innovative dark comedy proves what the road signs always said about the town - "You'll Never Leave". I wouldn't want to give too much away, but you'll be relieved, I am sure, to learn that Tubbs and Edward managed to escape from the inferno that destroyed the local shop (for local people) and the beautiful, precious things within. A little older, and a great deal more accomplished even than their early promise, Mark Gatiss, Jeremy Dyson, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith remind us of the amazing promise they showed and subsequently fulfilled. I just wonder how Pauline and her pens are coping with universal credit.
