I’ve been bingeing Psychoville and League of Gentlemen on DVD these last two weeks after catching up on 7 1/2 series of Inside Number 9 on Dailymotion that I didn’t watch because I realised too late how brilliant they were.
These guys play the most convincing and hilarious female characters! Love The League of Gentlemen and Inside Number 9 (written by these two, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton) is a work of true genius. Bloody scary in parts though - be prepared!
I didn’t find them remotely attractive. More like the kind of gay men lonely, overweight, never been kissed, young women fall for before they realise they’re barking up the wrong tree.
I loved Little Britain until I discovered The League of Gentlemen. Absolutely hilarious! Also excellent is Psychoville and Inside Number Nine, written by two out of the three, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith.
God League Of Gentleman is sooo much better than Little Britain! And Inside No 9 is genius too - written by these two actors, funnily enough - very dark though, if you're expecting light comedy you may get a shock!
@@johnwedgbury6817 I grew out of Little Britain. I can't imagine rewatching it now, but I will definitely rewatch League of Gentlemen, along with Psychoville and Inside No. 9.
I hope the crew never stop and continue to produce brilliant writing, stories showing their marvellous humour and acting. Now that's something, which I think I can safely say cheers us all up when we know or hear of New Series of 'L.O.G', 'Physchoville' and 'Inside No 9' so let's hope they continue.
@@nunovski2002 I've just listened to it several times and she definitely says Judy. It's just the swallowed d sound in Judy followed by the l in Levinson, which when speaking quickly as Reece does, to be fair, makes it sound like Julia. Try saying "Judy Levinson" really quickly and you'll see. Anyway as the character is called Judy Levinson and the League are famous perfectionists I think it would be strange they left that error in 🤣 And I just googled it and apparently it's spelt Judee so whoops I've been spelling that wrong for years.
Great comedians, yes but also, all through the series, there was some fantastic acting. Bathos and pathos in droves. I think these guys were brilliant.
You know what? I've never been interested in LoG but I've watched so many amazing scenes from it on RU-vid that I might finally be a convert. It's dark and disturbing, but superbly acted and brilliantly written, and also remembers to be funny!
Order all of them and then one Sunday get a takeaway and when it comes dish it up and have the league ready to press play from start to finish it’s amazing!!!!
Tell my you've watched them now? I can remember the first episode I ever watched, when they were first ever aired. I thought, "what a strange thing". The next week and the next and the next, I sat there and I've seen them all now about 10 times.
Apparently Reece based Stella's voice on his mother who of course would have a Hull accent . As Maureen is also from Hull it sort of makes sense ..I like to think Maureen is Stella a couple of decades on
Series 3 doesn't get anything like enough love. It was different from the other two, but it'd be the one I'd rewatch if I were having a binge of one series only.
It's a pity they weren't allowed to shoot the scene where the guy with the swinger wife gets hit in the face with some stray jizz while he's boring on about something or other.@@Emilyb21-dm3bf
who is tony though? imdb shows one tony cluedo, for one episode, not played by one of the original cast. and a search on yt only shows a DVD bonus sketch but the description says tony reappeared with a different look in a later series
Tony is played by Mark Gatis. He’s Julie’s fiancé (I think) Stella and Charlie’s son in law. He appears in series 2 episode 6 and again in series 3 episode 5.
