The Complete Series 1
In a tour de force that's often referred to as "Monty Python meets Twin Peaks," three actors portray over 60 characters as they bring an entire community of hilariously inbred locals to life. Once you're hooked on The League Of Gentlemen and Royston Vasey, you'll never leave.
Welcome To Royston Vasey
Ben struggles to take in Auntie Val and Uncle Harvey's incomprehensible house rules, while Martin poses a threat to the precious things in Tubbs and Edward's Local Shop. At the local job centre, Pauline is furious when someone lands an interview without her help. Taxi driver Babs makes middling progress through her sex change.
The Road To Royston Vasey
The new road is good news for everyone except Tubbs and Edward. Pauline coaches a workshop in selling The Big Issue, and we meet butcher Hilary Briss, video hounds Henry and Ally, and the formidable Reverend Bernice.
Nightmare in Royston Vasey
Tubbs sees a map and discovers the world beyond Royston Vasey. Pauline buckles under pressure in the interview techniques workshop, and a terrible discovery is made on the road building site.
The Beast of Royston Vasey
As the monstrous discovery drives workers to flee the road construction site, Mr. Chinnery is called in to investigate the find. Legz Akimbo, a theatre-in-education group, pays the school an eye-opening visit, and Ben is left alone with the twins.
Love Comes To Royston Vasey
Mike's getting married. In retrospect it may have been a mistake to let Geoff be best man. Les McQueen regales the band with reminiscences of his rock-n-roll days. The Dentons mourn the passing of Uncle Harvey's beloved toads, Sonny and Cher.
Escape From Royston Vasey
Tubbs and Edward have an unexpected visit from their son, David. It's Geoff's birthday, but have Mike and Brian forgotten? Ben grows more desperate to leave his uncle's house, and it's Operation Day for Babs.

truly excellent - 4.25 out of 5 (2/8/2001)
this is probably the best TV comedy of the past few years. Much better than rubbish like friends. I ahd the pleasure of seeing this bunch live on stage and they're truly brilliant!
THe disk has a virtual tour that's missing from the UK disk (r2 residents take note), but is 4:3, which is strange as it was shot 1.78:1.
Still highly recommended nonetheless.
