Wiki.
The League of Gentlemen is a surreal British comedy horror sitcom that premiered on BBC Two in 1999. The programme is set in Royston Vasey, a fictional town in northern England, originally based on Alston, Cumbria, and follows the lives of bizarre characters, most of whom are played by three of the show's four writers – Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith – who, along with Jeremy Dyson, formed the League of Gentlemen comedy troupe in 1995. The series originally aired for three series from 1999 until 2002, and was followed by a film The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse and a stage production The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You!, both in 2005.
The BBC announced in August 2017 that three new episodes would be produced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the group's first appearance on BBC Radio 4. The aforementioned episodes aired on BBC2 on 18–20 December 2017.
The series was filmed mainly in Hadfield, Derbyshire; other locations include Bacup, Lancashire; Glossop, Gamesley, and Hope Valley in Derbyshire; Marsden, Todmorden, and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire; and Mottram in Greater Manchester.
