Does it matter what it is if you enjoy it? ;-)
Actually, is it a sketch show or a sitcom?
I'm a big League fan, so am looking forward to this anyway, but if it's a sitcom rather than a sketch show (which to me just sounds exactly the same as League of Gentlemen) then I'm looking forward to it even more.

Ah, found the synopsis:
Quote
Written by the Leagsters for BBC Two, Psychoville is a dark character comedy mystery featuring characters from all over the UK, who each receive a mysterious letter.
They include a blind man with a curious collection, a midwife with a very odd child, a dwarf who's in love with his panto Snow White and a one-handed clown and children's entertainer with a hook.
Yet despite having different backgrounds, different interests, and coming from different parts of the country, every one has been sent an anonymous, black-edged card which reads: "I know what you did..."
Sounds more sitcom-ish, intriguing. Hope it isn't too daaaark, in expense of jokes though, but usually the League are good gag-writers.

Yes, if only there was a site which provided genre classification, show synopses, and other such details.

Wow, very excited about this one!
I'm glad they're not just doing a new League Of Gentlemen...for one, the entire "League" isn't involved, so it wouldn't be right. Plus, this gives Reece and Steve chance to create brand new characters and a new kinda evil! Love it!
Is it too early for speculation...if not, anybody want to have a guess at what they "did" at this early, EARLY stage?

Dawn French appears in the series, so I'd say: YES!
As much use as a dolly bird in a cagoule. |

New clip from the series and small article here at the Guardian media section. It looks very funny. And horrible. No more than you'd expect!
