to think the league of gentlemen is bloody sinister

[RagingDull]

and not funny?

dh is sat here laughing his socks off and im staring at the tv with a wrinkled up nose and wondering what the actual fuck......?????

roychubby brown is playing the mayor....
its just scary,

It is dolescum, plus work shy pack of bastards
But the best she reserves for Cathy Carter Smith - tubby little tit witch!

So it is dolescum.

I am gutted about the Masons! I had a 'special' burger in there once. :o

Also Pauline calls them a "waste of skin"

I've just popped of the DVD of the first season. Classic.

I have a husband you know.....

I can I can't? Are you local?????

I think you had to have seen the episodes of ACGAS between James Heriot, Mrs. Pomfrey and spoilt, pampered Tricky-Woo to get the exploding dog sketch.

That's brilliant, Bigbuttons!

Favourite moment: Pauline returning to the JobCentre after her sacking and having a homo-erotic standoff with Cathy Carter Smith.

Ha! I love the Live At Drury Lane where they do this scetch, fight, kiss, and then all you hear Shearsmith and Pemberton's muffled giggles

I watched the first episode opening. The hearse came by with BASTARD spelled out in the floral tribute.
I knew I was going to love it

Me too - immediately I knew it would be for me. That was quite a few years ago now, 1999, it doesn't seem that long as it's still quite fresh. I even liked the film and loved the third series.

I saw the live show at St George's Hall in Bradford. Bloody fab it was!

Has anyone listened to the audio stuff they did I think prior to tlog?
It is defiinately worth a listen.

The voicemails he leaves for his date?

"you're good! But you're big!"

audio transcript

I love it!! Hello Dave, you're my wife now!

I did actually have a nightmare once that Papa Lazarou was trying to steal DS1 and we hid in the boot of a neighbours car. It was really vivid and quite scary!

I still ask dh for I can I can't when he goes to the shop. In fact I ask my stepkids too, who are too young to understand, but put up with my talking in comedy quotes all the time!

I'd love to visit the places it was filmed, especially the local shop for local people.

Ah the local shop of Tubs and Edward - the exterior shots are on a hill nr Marsden in W.Yorks, just over the Peninnes, and the interior are studio sets.

hello Dave!

Up to leg akimbo episode. Apparently Olly's wife is living with a female Geoff Capes.

I love On the Town. Still skip the Dr Chinnery episodes though! :)

The safe word is... Juliet Bravo!

Deafblind Panzee, it's all one word!

oh echt I think asking "are you local" must be a universal thing! I get asked that all the time in my part of the UK, or I'm told "you're not from round here". When I say, yes I'm local & mention the village 5 miles down the road, I'm told "that's not local" !!

The League of Gentlemen is my favourite TV show. It was screened over 10yrs ago in Australia on a Friday evening on the ABC so I think most people would have missed it.
now for some more tlog quotes
'no solids in the downstairs toilets'
'I have some rather upsetting news'

'this is a local shop for local people, there's nothing for you here'
My favourite Pauline quote is 'I said your welcome.' woman replies 'oh, thankyou'
P - "that's all it takes" Have been tempted to use that one on various occasions when encountering rude people.

We say "In this house..." a lot. And when my mum starts issuing cleaning/tidying instructions, I start chanting "Black for paper, blue for string..." :o

"...And in the cupboard 'neath the stair..."

"....You'll find the red, for pubic hair"

That towel poem is my all time favourite LOG quote. I say it a lot to bemused people.

Ahem
