Has this one got a laughter track? First two series would have been perfect without it

Snap snap, Dave. You’re in MY photos now...

No laugh track

Just saw this pop up on iPlayer, about to watch it right now. Knew it was coming but didn't realise the first episode was up. Keep the thread alive!

>laughter track
Live audience =! laughter track, retards. Not all shows are TBBT.

LEGS AKIMBO

Chill out. No need to be so mad.

(You)

>this story

>excuse me, would this kill a fat woman tonight?

Fucking hell Gatiss earned his keep in that bingo scene.

Yeah, that's been the highlight so far.

Five minutes in and I'm already relieved to see they've still fucking got it. God bless these fuckers

Don't teach your grandma how to suck cocks.

>Suck It And See, a play about revenge porn

Lads, are we experiencing the return of kino UK comedy?

It's fucking beautiful user

Absolute fucking gold

TELL THEM THE CIRCUS IS COMING TO TOWN

Pop's storyline is some NTR shit

This has been amazing so far. Sad there's only 1 more episode.

He's clearly behind the photo booth.

Shit that face Shearsmith did legit creeped me out at the end

It's making me uneasy. I can deal with the rest, but Pop's bit is unnerving. Maybe because the rest seems outlandish, but that seems believable.

The Bingo scene was the most kino moment of telly this year. Prove me wrong.

Legz Akimbo guy is relatable.

The Sheersmith/Pemberton duo are bringing back the good stuff. This, and the upcoming new series of Inside No. 9 gets me well excited.
I'm halfway through this episode and it's perfect. Not a single line of dialogue that falls flat, not a single shot or joke that fails. I can very much see a full series of League of Gentlemen coming up next year. Finally the BBC sees sense.
Even though Inside No. 9 has bad ratings, the execs know it's gold so they keep giving them more series because it's genuinely good.

>Expecting them to blow their load with Papa Lazarou until the end
>Expecting them not to include the most iconic character after Tubbs and Edward
YOU'RE MY WIFE NOW, PLEB

>now some cunt is whining about Weinstein

Don't care.

There's three in total, right? Is the second one airing right now? In that case I've got a great evening ahead of me, just watching the first one, second one should be on iPlayer later on.

I immediately turned off at that point

>I can very much see a full series of League of Gentlemen this year
Fuck I can only hope. Imagine this was a litmus test as to whether audiences would react favourably to new LoG 15 years later.
TELL THEM THE KINO IS COMING TO TOWN

It finished 10 mins ago so it should be up.

>prove me wrong
I-I can't user.

Have you all fitted locks to keep your Dad out lads?

You're correct, sir.

Correct, last one is 22:00 tomorrow.

>mfw Geoff doing his MGS stealth up to the house

Fucking Jeff

We’ve still got Les McQueen as well.

>alright Jeff?

>watching this with my dad
>we used to watch LoG and laugh together when it aired
>he watches shows like the last leg and HIGNFY relgiously now
>he stormed out during the taxi scene yesterday in disgust

TV really does rot the brain.

>It's a shit business.

>Fuck I can only hope. Imagine this was a litmus test as to whether audiences would react favourably to new LoG 15 years later.
Can definitely see this happening. Only problem could be Gatiss not being available because he's doing a new Sherlock-like project with Moffat and might not be available.

Just what I wanted to hear. I'll crack open a can or two and enjoy some 100% undiluted comedy kino.

Stop telling lies on the internet user.

>the last leg

God I hate that show. Alex Brooker is ok though.

>Even though Inside No. 9 has bad ratings
Does it? I'd assumed it was pretty popular. Guess it's not for everybody.

Gatiss has serious power at the BBC, they'll be able to work something out.

Why the taxi scene? For taking the piss out of militant LGBT? Fuck your weirdo Dad.

What an idiot. The taxi scene was an obvious jab at the whole political correctness pronoun stuff. If he can't understand that, he's not worth it.

Serious question: Have we still got Hilary Briss to come?

Sounds like he needs a kikercism

Why is Gatiss a big shot at BBC? I know LoG was his break out but has he been in loads of things I have missed?

I doubt it, he scarpered to the bahamas didn't he?
Although he could be, I'd never have guessed they'd bring Herr Lipp back.

I hope so. As much as I'd like Lazarou to come back, it'd be very much like the last episode of season three.

>Pop

It gets very, very low viewer ratings, but has a cult following. It's seriously good, but dark humour isn't for everybody. That's why I was praising the BBC for commissioning more of it because it's actually good, whether people tune in or not, it's still great, original telly.

He's written a lot for Dr Who, been in Sherlock, he was in that Gunpowder plot thing recently and even has the media credibility of being a small yet recurring Game of Thrones character.

Doubt it, they need room for Lazarou for the catchphrase brainlets.

>Catchphrase brainlets
It's been nothing but kino thusfar, why would you assume it'd end on a bad one?

He co-wrote/produced Sherlock which was a huge international hit. The BBC like him and Moffat and will want to keep him.

If this Dracula thing he and Moffat are doing is going to be as big as early Sherlock I'll doubt he'll have time, that's all I was saying. Knowing Gatiss, he'll want a role in the Dracula thing. That said, he seems up for it if time allows, if they do more LoG

They just need to bring back Jam as well and British TV is fixed forever.

youtu.be/CuoCiAok83M

I've still got the aftertaste of kino from that bingo scene. Holy fucking moly that quality.
I love how both episodes thus far haven't just been punchline after punchline after reference, they're willing to make sad scenes that hit home with original characters.

Merry fucking Christmas, lads. I've missed this show and it's still fucking great.

>that Jam sketch with the couple looking to buy a house
>She's a bit... uncomplicated

This is honestly the first funny scripted show I've seen on UK TV for years.

Best comedy I've seen all year. These bastards still have it in them, long may they continue, be it LoG or Inside no 9 or any other project, the BBC needs to keep hold of them because they're the only ones producing good comedy.

I'm still a bit annoyed there wasn't a third series of Psychoville.

I'm so fucking glad this show is back. I was rewatching some episodes on netflix and I can't believe I forgot about this one.

>oh nooo

>any of the visual gags during the opening
>any scene with Geoff
>any line of dialogue from Bernice

it's glorious lads

It's been years since I watched League of Gentlemen, literally only once when it aired. I know it had surreal dark humour but was it always this level? Pauline's dementia and the job seekers playing along feels like the final twist from an Inside No. 9 episode. It's sad, uneasy and creepy

>Don't teach your Grandmother to suck cocks

Brainlets or not, you can’t deny this wasn’t a great reveal.

"When dancing, lost in techno trance, arms flailing, gawky Bez, then find you snagged on frowns, and slowly dawns, you're jazzing to the beep tone of a life support machine, that marks the steady fading, of your day old baby daughter. And when midnight sirens, lead to blue flash road smash, stretchers covered heads, and slippy red macadam, and find you creeping 'neath the blankets, to snuggle close a mangled bird, hoping soon you too will be freezer drawered... Then welcome, blue chemotherapy wig, welcome in Jaaaaaaaam."

It's as if they never went away. Seamless. God, I've missed it.

>Was it always on this level
Watch the series again, there are several very dark moments that come out of nowhere.
>Forensic Pathologist being arrested
>Gangsters tying up a retard and a kid and setting a fire nearby
>I DIDN'T FORCE HER
>Special stuff
>Twins tormenting the man in the scarecrow
Those are just a few that come to mine.

And the special stuff leading to everyone just walking around with nosebleeds

>I didn't ask for sauce!

>Just walking around with nosebleeds
Mate they ended up dying with pained looks on their faces

I mean... Can Black Comedy get too Black?

youtu.be/_9Hu6J3pEwQ
Yes it can

>burying a teenage boy alive after attempting to drug and rape him

>what's happened here is, I've gone to the wrong house

>Just a few that come to mine
H...Herr Lipp?!

Chris Morris uses the line between tragedy and comedy as a skipping rope.

Skits like that are what stop me from fully embracing Jam. Sometimes it can be too fucking grim.

I'll watch the original series again this week, it's been so long. It's just that moment where Pauline's at the job centre and it's revealed everyone's just indulging her because she's got dementia that felt like the final twist they always do in Inside 9.
I remember it being dark, but that sort of sad twist was something I associate with No. 9 more than LoG. I'll rewatch it to see if I'm wrong though.

Really don't get this sort of "comedy," it's not funny in the slightest. I'm sitting here now with it on remembering why I disliked it so much the first time round. This is on a par with shit like The Mighty Boosh.

I agree, most of the stuff is great surrealist humour and at the very least gets by on it's unique ambience... But fuck me some of the sketches would never air today.

What a fucking pleb.

>But fuck me some of the sketches would never air today.
Most of it, or Brass Eye probably wouldn't.

That's fucking insane. Bit too dark for me.
Was Jam also the one with the guy who kept attempting suicide from a two storey building? People were interviewed and they showed footage of this guy just jumping off the building, not dying, crawling up the stairs and throwing himself off again for like 15 times. That fucking made me laugh, I guess that's the level I'm at.

...

If its not your bag then it's not your bag lad. Some people just aren't local enough.
The appeal of surrealism is being interested in and trying to get in line with the creators imagination, LoG just happens to tie it together with traditional puns and jokes.

>Was Jam also the one with the guy who kept attempting suicide from a two storey building? People were interviewed and they showed footage of this guy just jumping off the building, not dying, crawling up the stairs and throwing himself off again for like 15 times
Yeah. Suicide With An Escape Clause.

There was also the one with the mum fucking her own son, to stop him fucking another man.

Yes, that's the one. Imagine being 15 and catching it half asleep at 3am, having absolutely no prior knowledge that it even existed and not even sure if you're awake.

Quite the experience.

It's Nonce Sense

This is LOCAL COMEDY for LOCAL PEOPLE
Fuck off the the model village
