Now then, now then, what's all this? We'll have none of that here!

Just a [i]little[/i] bit excited...
= :87)
Is Jimmy Savile in it?
Still good. Very clever what they did with Babs.
Well that was rather ace 😀
Just setting the scene I think.
picked up right where it left off.
shame I can't remember the end of series three, but then it was 15 years ago!
Oh my, that was utterly brilliant. Mr Chinnery completely brilliant again!
That felt like the fastest 30 minutes of tv all year. Loved the couple of moments of genuine pathos.
Why even now you're thinking about using a broom on my wife's second hole
What a blast from the past...
just ace 😀
Brilliant
Bra shop
“Gone Bust”
And that shipping forecast
I've been watching the BBC4 re-runs of season1 for the last 6 weeks or so, all good reminiscing stuff (was a tad puzzled as to why they were showing it again, but not enough to google investigate). Have seen a few ads in the last week or 2 promoting League of Gentlemen returns, but just assumed it was return to re-runs ie season2 next, not completely new stuff. Shame, don't think I'm particularly thick, so musn't have been obvious to lots of people that it was promoting completely new material.
Kids - this is what TV used to be like. Quality. Especially the hedgehog.
Just fantastic. The twins are even more terrifying.
Was it papa Lazarus on the shipping forecast? I listened to a pod cast about the new episodes and they said it was hard to bring him back on screen due to blacking up might be why they made babs so militant. And the no 9 on the door of tubs flat very good
One word: Absolutely brilliant
Loved the hedgehog scene, Pauline in the jobcentre and the overall Brexit theme 😆
I missed the inside no 9 reference.
Yeah what’s with the No. 9?
Ah!
the hedgehog scene was so obvious I'm surprised how hilarious it was.
Was it papa Lazarus on the shipping forecast?
No, it looks like Pamela Doove finally got the break she was waiting for:
Was the clue when said “Here is the shipping forecast with Pamela Doove”?
Docliment?
Docliment....
Absolutely brilliant!! 😆
Very good indeed.
I could laugh at Pam Doove all day btw.
Oh so it was good then? I purposely didn’t watch to avoid the disappointment of it being another re make pile of poo
Will watch it tonight
'Is the key under the mat?'
'Sort of'
Not brilliant but very much just setting it up...more tonight!
yes, very much enjoyed the nods to former series e.g. Inside No 9 as above, also that the episode started exactly like the first series with Benjamin on a train and someone voicing what he's reading
Might have to watch it again tonight to see what other little gems I missed
What's with the photo booth? How's that going to feature?
And how did Edward and Tubbs survive? Weren't they hit by a train in series 3?
brilliant! I was a bit worried the corner shop was being too built up, and it wouldn't be good, but it was superb.
Why even now you're thinking about using a broom on my wife's second hole
had me in hysterics...
That felt like the fastest 30 minutes of tv all year
Agreed. I checked the time after what felt like 15 minutes and it was just about to finish. And it's on again tonight!
absolutely splendid. Where's Les Mcqueen??
hahaha so so sooooooo good, I want les McQueen too....
H Briss is apparently in it too at some point
so so clever, cant wait to go see it live in September! an amazing bunch of writers, such a shame they left it so long to do more
I absolutely love jeff tipps, hes a real hero of mine 8)
and legz akimbo, id love to see how they have progressed,
I love Ollie when he goes off on rants, angry, about his wife leaving him for a another woman....so so funny....
''LEGZ AKIMBO – PUT YOURSELF IN A CHILD'
absolute genius
Watching it again now to see what I missed because of the wife snoring.
an amazing bunch of writers
and actors! It's incredible how they completely become each character. You never think ah, that's Reece being..
I must confess to never having watched the League of Gentlemen even though everything about it appeals to me.
I just never got round to it.
Is it available on catch up anywhere?
Must be on BBC iPlayer
- from Episode 3 by the look of it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p008wlw4/the-league-of-gentlemen-series-1-3-nightmare-in-royston-vasey
Netflix
- from Episode 3 by the look of it
Cool. 8)
Will be watching these over the Chrimbo break.
My kind offer has been deleted! 😆
It was kind though.
I appreciated it you scoundrel! 😀

Perchy - don't leave it too long series 1 episodes have been disappearing off iPlayer
Really looking forward to this but the Mrs says she now wants to finally give League a go so that means having to watch the previous three series before this. Oh well, if we must...
Glad to hear it's hit the ground running, mind you, it had to to make up for the appalling ending to series three. What a way to cock it up.
Just watched it. Absolutely loved it. The attention to detail is superb
The old radio series was on R4 Extra at the weekend and is on iPlayer now in case anyone missed it.
I knew what was going to happen to the hedgehog but I still roared with laughter. Brilliant.
I'm in the same boat as Perchy - I've seen bits of it but it mostly passed me by at the time. I might binge on it over Christmas.

I could burn ... er, no I couldn't 🙂
I've got series one on DVD and on my PVR 🙂
I could burn ...
...in hell for copyright infringement?
You cheeky little scamp 😉
Anyone else think that Edward was a little subdued?

Yep.
Class 😀
In similar things, Inside No9 is on iPlayer, all 3 series
Watched it on catch up earlier - just brilliant - laughed from start to finish!
Anyone remember a character that used to guide down caves a - very quietly spoken whilst recalling disasters?

Mick McNamara of Stump Hole Cavern
Yes that's him - thanks nbt!
Just watched it on catch up.
Pam Doov reading the shipping forecast, bloomin brilliant!!
lesbians, eh! A pair of clittycats?
Beyond dark, this is warped. But genius.

Troglatrickery... 😉
ok I missed the name on the radio.
so do I save the other episodes and binge on all of them?
I can't believe that it's as good as before. Some absolute genius in it.
I could burn ... er, no I couldn't
I believe that what sir may be referring to is an off-site backup.
Just watched last night's show again. Just as good secund time round, especially with Mrs NBT almost crying with laughter next to me
Episode 2. Marvellous 🙂
She's my wife now.
That was even better.
OMG !
That was brilliant!
I've been catched in a tefalone.
🙂
All this, and yet Mrs Brown's Boys is voted "best comedy"
the world has gone mad, I tell you
I'd rather watch the U2 bile.....
As above - tefalone had me in stitches. Great stuff.
Perv Swerve had me lolling.
Occasional humorous quips, some decent comedy acting from the chubby faced fella - but the whole things feels a bit 'Dr Who' in production value.
Funny that.
(or not).
I was slightly disappointed that the Ollie Plimsolls second dream sequence didn't turn out to be the school kids cruelly encouraging him so they could take the piss behind his back..
I thought the bingo caller sketch was sublime.
See I didn't think episode 2 was as good? Was I in a strange mood?
No, I didn't enjoy it as much as day 1. I found the bingo caller sketch a bit dull
