Title: A Comedy Lifeline
Review: As an expat Englishman living in the US (Washington DC) I was overjoyed to find Comedy Central airing a very dark and disturbing British comedy, "The League of Gentlemen". The show starts in good form with a strange and eery soundtrack. The humour is top class and clearly in the best tradition of the British comedy tradition. It combines the best elements of the Pythonesque with more traditional pantomime and the Northern comic style of Morecombe & Wise or Reeves and Mortimer. I haven't enjoyed a TV comedy this much since Fawlty Towers. You HAVE to get this DVD.The League of Gentlemen is delighfully in poor taste, totally irreverent, and yet the characters are endearing, despite their homicidal and psychopathic peccadilos. The show will rank with Monty Python and Fawlty Towers as a masterpiece of British TV comedy.
