Anyone else looking forward to the new episodes of the League of Gentlemen starting tonight?

Loved it!
Tubbs not in character in the last one was the only thing marring it. Who made the mayor, sign the paper ?

My outloud comment to DH - LoG are MN re: bog brush Grin wife mine Grin soon as saw photo options - aha that's where PL is. Tummy pancake Grin

werewolf yeah that stuck out to me too. I also feel references to "Insta" etc will date it a bit. Also felt a bit like when they put topical things into panto and shows etc.

Otherwise I loved them. Reece was really good as Harvey!

Were Iris and Mrs Levinson in the specials. It looked like Iris walking the dogs in episode one but no Mrs Levinson?

Unevenbeard · 21/12/2017 19:48

Iris got whisked away by the photo booth, no Mrs Levinson Sad

From my understanding it was Papa Lazarou that made her sign, if I remember rightly didn't he capture her in a previous episode?

Did anyone else think Edward's voice had changed quite a bit?

Did you notice that the lady who visited the doctor in one of the first ever episodes also got whisked away into the wife mine !

fromtheshires · 21/12/2017 20:25

Now I think about it uneven, you may well be right!

I think the voices were there enough considering theIR vocal chords have aged 20 years and it is a very distinctive voice to try and emulate after so much time.

The only thing I think could have made it better was when they were talking about maps in the flat was for tubs to have a map and go lines and lines and lines and lines. I did it out loud and my DH looked at me like I was having some sort of breakdown.

Got tickets for the O2. See you there!

coffeecuppa · 21/12/2017 20:38

I couldn't see if anyone mentioned it already, but...

They've been reading Mumsnet!

The sketch when Harvey has just awakened in Benjamin's body, he lambasts the use of Toilet Duck and loo brushes GrinGrinGrin

pickleface · 21/12/2017 20:40

There was another Mumsnet reference in sure. I can't remember now. But I def noticed the loo brush

VanillaMincePie · 21/12/2017 20:46

I wonder what their Mumsnet names are? GrinGrin

BeyondAssignation · 21/12/2017 21:42

I lines and lines and linesd at the maps too, from Grin

Renfrewshire · 21/12/2017 22:02

There is a "in conversation with..." with the LoG on the BFI YouTube channel if anyone's interested.

velouria · 22/12/2017 00:03

Aghhh mumsnet is a tiny part of the internet. Not every reference is due to it, sorry, but it does my nut in.

elephantoverthehill · 22/12/2017 00:11

It's ok veloria. Be calm. You will not be outed by this observation. Grin

ChinkChink · 22/12/2017 00:16

If I never laugh again, just seeing Tubbs saying, 'Just updating my insta' will stay with me forever.

Floellabumbags · 22/12/2017 00:18

Wife mine was genius. Looking forward to Inside no 9 starting in the new year.

werewolfhowls · 22/12/2017 18:58

I loved the last lines about you can never go back but you can visit, made me feel old and nostalgic!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/12/2017 18:47

Oooh love this (and Steve Pemberton is Mine I tell you )

I watched the Christmas "Inside Number 9" weird but good, I'll need to search out the rest.

Anyone watch the Christmas LoG from years ago, maybe late 90s - four parter ( line dancing, vampires, why Mr C cannot be trusted with your pet ) ?

Unevenbeard · 23/12/2017 18:52

Yep I remember the Xmas special, was it a pair of cursed bronze monkey testicles? Grin

Every pan has a lid!

fitbitbore · 28/12/2017 08:15

I've just watched the last one I can't stop laughing at tummy pancakes 😂😂😂

FuglyBint · 01/01/2018 11:15

Me and DH totally LOVED it all! Will rewatch definitely.

Tubbs: "can you get me on Strictly?" Grin
