A walk on the weird side
What apparently originated as sketches has here been opened out and adroitly blended into the bizarre mise en scene of Royston Vasey, but as the series goes by, individual sketch episodes might be increasingly difficult to shoehorn into this overall scenario. But for now The League of Gentlemen is a big hit: Sarah Smith's production is first-rate and Joby Talbot's weirdly catchy music sets the whole thing off nicely.
