ReCall: The League of Gentlemen

As confirmed anglophiles, we're fans of the grand guignol sketch comedy of The League of Gentlemen(not to be confused with the shit-awful graphic novel-turned-film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). We just finished re-watching the first season of their show, and again we're struck by the complexity of the characters. The Gents are more interested in character development, narrative and mood than the cheap one-liner or repetitive gag, making their fictional town of Royston Vasey a fully-realized vision, akin to a waking nightmare.

Best to start off with a little bit of Tubbs and Edward, the proprietors of the town's shop. "Are you local?"
