We’ve known for a while now that Tubbs and Edward, Hilary Briss, Pauline and all the rest would be returning (here) but now we have our first look… and it’s beautiful. Well, in a League Of Gentlemen sort of way.
The images and footage below feature – among other things – Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton back as Tubbs and Edward! Yes, twenty years later they’re back!
But you will also spot The Walking Dead’s Governor himself, David Morrissey, making an appearance!
There’s also a cool image of Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson altogther before filing began back in September.
BBC Two can confirm that the much-loved and critically-acclaimed comedy The League Of Gentlemen will be back on screen later this year for three special episodes, to commemorate the twentieth anniversary since their debut on BBC Radio. Their career launched with the BBC in the same year they won the Perrier Award for Comedy at the 1997 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson will be reuniting for a return to Royston Vasey. The League Of Gentlemen ran for three series on BBC Two and won the Rose D’Or and the BAFTA for Best Comedy Series in 2000.
The specials are commissioned by Patrick Holland and Shane Allen, Controller BBC Comedy, and they will be produced by BBC Studios. Executive producer is Jon Plowman, the producer is Adam Tandy, and the director is Steve Bendelack.
An official airdate for the specials is yet to be confirmed but we’re guessing Christmas time is the most likely… either way, we’re heading back to Royston Vasey in December for the three specials. Are you?
Mickey, Pauline and Ross are back! The new #LeagueOfGentlemen specials will be on TV this December.https://t.co/x7raSwTII5 pic.twitter.com/CyBhW1vK24
