Big screen outing for the bizarre inhabitants of Royston Vasey, but with a very post modern twist.
Royston Vasey is, in fact, a real place where the characters' lives continue on in their twisted way, but slowly, surely, portents of disaster begin to appear.
It transpires that the real life writers of the show (Jeremy Dyson, Mark Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton) have decided not to write anymore League of Gentlemen, and to kill the format off. As a result, the inhabitants of the fictional village must find a way to break through into the real world to avert disaster.
Funny in places, this is neither as disturbing nor as irreverent as its small screen counterpart, though still wildly more enjoyable than most big screen 'comedy' output.
For LoG fans only.
