Review of Vesuvius Club Audio

The trouble with audio adaptations of books that you love is that they are abridged in order to get the book down to a two-CD car-friendly box set, and thus you find that your favourite parts of the book are often removed. However, in this BBC adaptation of Mark Gatiss' novel, they've been rather clever - firstly in allowing Mark to abridge the book himself (and rewrite it where necessary) and also to get Mark to read his own words. The obvious benefit, aside from "doing the voices", is that Mark has a passion for his own work - almost acting the story out for his listeners. Admittedly, some of the accents are rather dodgy (where on earth is Tom Bowler supposed to be from?) and the female characters sound rather masculine (Bella Pok reminding me of Matt Lucas' Latymer Crowe character) but the voice of Lucifer himself is perfect - Mark's best radio four voice with an added edge of winsome camp - just how I imagined Lucifer would sound.

The abridged story does race over, and sometimes miss out, some of the action - for example, the wonderful chases, through the cemetery in London and the underground sewer in Naples are both gone from this version. But the spirit of the book remains, and Charlie Jackpot is still as charming and impudent as ever. If Mark's plan was an Edwardian pastiche of James Bond then this comes across rather better in audio, through the idiosyncratic pronunciation ("weskit" for "waistcoat") and various humorous foreign accents used.

I would recommend that you definitely read the book first. But if you're a fan of audio, then you can't do much better than drive along on a bright winter's afternoon with this version on your stereo.

Official Press Release for the Film

THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN - Royston Vasey (Working Title)


London: October 4th 2004 - Principal photography has begun on the feature
film The League of Gentlemen - Royston Vasey (Working Title), it was
announced today. Directed by Steve Bendelack, (League of Gentlemen, Little
Britain), The League of Gentlemen - Royston Vasey, is a feature film from
the team that brought you the multi-award winning comedy TV series The
League of Gentlemen, created by and starring Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton,
Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson. Shooting commenced on Monday October 4th
2004 and is taking place on location in Dublin and in London.

The fictional world of Royston Vasey is facing apocalypse and the only way
to avert disaster is for our nightmarish cast of characters to find a way
into the real world and confront their creators. From present day Soho to
the fictional film world of 17th Century Britain, the residents must
overcome countless bizarre obstacles in their bid to return Royston Vasey to
safety. In addition to featuring the most beloved characters from the
original The League of Gentlemen TV series, this darkly hilarious movie
adventure will also bring to the screen a whole host of new characters and
cameo performances from numerous famous faces.

The League of Gentlemen - Royston Vasey is a Universal Studios and Film Four
presentation of a Tiger Aspect Pictures production in association with
Hell's Kitchen International. The League of Gentlemen - Royston Vasey is
directed by Steve Bendelack and produced by Greg Brenman and Ed Guiney.
Executive Producers are Peter Bennett-Jones, Andrew Lowe and The League of
Gentlemen.

There are a few types of Web Site, some will bring you every single spotting of a Gent or Gent article or pictures of them doing their shopping, if you want that then I can point you in the right direction but this web site will only ever publish the stuff that really matters, the real news!

Confirmation of Film Name!

According to these photo's the Film is to be called Royston Vasey...which is good news for our sister site http://www.roystonvasey.co.uk!

Read the full article here http://www.showbizireland.com/news/october04/03-gentlemen01.shtml but the pics are below!

05/10/2004

Newsflash! - Steve Bendelack confirmed to direct League of Gentlemen Film!

Other cast members confirmed include Welsh actor Michael Sheen, Bruno Langley who plays Todd Grimshaw in Coronation Street and Manchester born actor David Warner who says of his role...

"I'm going to be in The League Of Gentlemen film," laughs the Manchester-born actor.

"They wrote a part especially for me, which is very flattering. A few years ago they invited me to be in their TV Christmas special but I couldn't do it as I was living and working in America at the time.

"However, I became friends with them and now they have invited me to be in their film.

"Because I had been living in America, I hadn't seen the show when it was on TV, so when I watched some tapes I couldn't understand what was going on!

"They are really very clever and they are very good actors. It is a strange show, but I really like it and now I've seen all the tapes I am a huge fan.

"It is a real change for me too; it gives me a chance to be a bit stupid! I like to do comedy but rarely get asked to do it so to have the opportunity to do something like The League Of Gentlemen and hopefully make people laugh is great.

"They haven't got me dressing up as a woman as yet but you never know!"

David Warner has been in the acting business for more than 40 years with a varied career starring in Hollywood blockbusters like Titanic and The Omen and TV classic dramas like The Choir and Twin Peaks.

League Of Gentlemen Movie? Extraordinary!


Edward and Tubbs, the snout-faced shopkeepers of Royston Vasey,
aren't overly fond of things — or people — that aren't local.
Particularly protective of the `precious things' on their dusty
shelves, they've been known to burn strangers alive for daring to
enter their store. For them, the bright lights of the city are cause
for abject terror rather than fascination.

So it's a bit surprising that they're finally left Royston behind to
visit London. Shooting began this week in the capital for The League
Of Gentlemen's first big-screen outing, featuring all the bizarre
town's resident creeps, transexual cab drivers and wife-collecting
circus ringleaders.

The cult British comedy is one of the edgiest TV shows around,
constantly pushing the boundaries of acceptable taste. So God only
knows what the team (who have confessed that their favourite movie is
The Wicker Man) have in store for us with their bid for cinema infamy.

Whatever horrors are lined up, prepare for a time-twisting narrative
in which the monstrous characters break through the divide between
their fictional world and the real one in order to save themselves
from destruction. It's also been promised that the dark adventure
will feature a host of cameos from famous faces. Though considering
that the TV show guest-starred Roy Chubby Brown (whose real name is
Royston Vasey, fact fans), don't hold your breath for an appearance
from David Beckham
!

The Film...again...

Papa Lazarou, and Pauline could be returning to
Glossop to shoot their very own feature film.

League of Gentlemen - The Motion Picture will put the strange
folk of Royston Vasey on the silver screen.

Last week the comedy team were in Hadfield to check out
locations for the forthcoming shoot, which was scheduled to
start the end of September.

However, according to a spokeswoman for Tiger Aspect - the
company behind the film - they are having funding difficulties,
which could affect the smooth running of the project.

In addition, they will spend only one day filming in Hadfield and
the rest will take place in other locations.

Goldline taxi boss, Chris Woodward, who has worked as a
location finder on the BBC series, says he is unsure this will
work.

"It's like taking Last of the Summer Wine out of Holmfirth - you
can recreate some scenery to a point but you won't be able to do
everything and you might end up losing something.

"On the other hand it might be a ranting success, we'll have to
wait and see".

On a personal note I have heard that the crew will be there for two weeks (There now I have heard) and are making a mock up of the War Memorial ready for filming in Ireland!

And More...

"Fans of the BBC's gothic sketch show The League of Gentlemen will
surely agree that, considering the series's prominent debts to
classic British horror, a feature version is a tantalising prospect,
writes Donald Clarke
They will be delighted to hear that Royston Vasey: The Movie is due
to begin shooting around Dublin in September. A co-production of
Hells Kitchen and Tiger Aspect Productions, the local film for local
people hopes to build upon the partnership forged between those two
companies during the making of Pete Travis's Omagh.

"All the best-known characters are in the script," promises co-
producer Ed Guiney. "But it involves a major leap forward."

I have been meaning to put this up for ages but...remember in the First Episode of 'On the Town' when Benjamin is in Barbara's taxi and she says she gets her dresses from Bang Bangs...well...there is a shop in Chorley Town Centre (Where Steve is from) called Bang Bangs! Strangely enough it is the stockist for the local School uniforms...I only found out because my Girlfriends 5 year old daughter is starting school here soon (I live in Chorley) so when we go in to get the uniform I may just mention it to the owners!

Wild About Harry (by Phil Pinfold)

With a Golden Rose to his name from the Montreux
Television Festival, a very busy Steve Pemberton
reveals what the future holds for The League of
Gentlemen and the coincidences behind his latest role
as Harry Secombe alongside Geoffrey Rush

The rubber-faced actor, comedian and writer, who was
one of the founding fathers behind anarchical cult hit
The League of Gentlemen, has been filming opposite
David Suchet and David Soul in the latest TV version
of Death On The Nile.He plays an oddball German doctor
with an eye for the ladies.Now just about to start a
new BBC series, Blackpool, he will also appear in the
big-screen version of The Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy, playing Prosser, the foreman of the demolition
gang which arrives to knock down Arthur Dent's
house."The man, in fact, who actually starts the whole
complex adventure rolling," says Steve Pemberton.
But amidst all these fictional charcters, the
36-year-old has also just finished playing the very
real, much loved and much-missed Welsh singer,
comedian, actor, presenter and devoted family man, the
late Sir Harry Secombe for HBO.Work has just been
completed on a TV film called The Life and Death of
Peter Sellers, with Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush as
Sellers and Charlize Theron as Britt Ekland, one of
the comic's many wives.
"It was a great, great privilege to play Sir Harry,"
says Pemberton, "because he was one of the most
admired men in show business.No, his family weren't
consulted, as far as I know, but I'll be very
intrested to hear what they think.
"the funny thing was that I belivee the part was
orginally offered to JOhnny Vegas but he'd grown a
beard to appear in Sex Lives of the Potato Men and he
refused to shave.So because of his commitment to the
Potato Men, I landed a wonderful role."
He recouts another bizarre coincidence:"When The
League of Gentlemen was entred into the Montreux
Television Festival a few yeras ago-and we walked away
with the Golden Rose, the main prize-the publicist
from the BBC who came with us was none other than
Jenny Secombe, Harry's daughter.She was a marvellous
lady and very very supportive, a lot of fun.I never
dreamed then that I'd be playing her famous dad a few
years later.
"I even get to sing as Sir Harry.It's a scene at a
garden party and Harry and Ray Ellington-the
bandleader of the Goon Show-break into song and
perform DReam a Little Dream of Me.Incredibly, Ray is
played by his actual son, Lance, and he knew the
words.I didn't!He had to teach them to me."
The HBO show is expected to air in the UK in the early
schedules.
"The funny thing is," says Pemberton, "that I never
really listened to any of the Goon Show tapes before I
got involved, although I am absolutely sure that
we-The League of Gentlemen-are in a line of direct
comedy descent via Monty Python from those iconic
radio shows.
"When I knew that I was going to play Sir Harry, I
listened to just about every tape of the Goons I could
get my hands on.Milligan was an absolutely brilliant
innovator, a comic genius, that's all you can say.But
sadly, because of copyright reasons, we couldn't use
any of the original material in the film.Geoffrey Rush
and I had to come up with something that sounded as if
it was the real McCoy.A flavour of what was created in
the BBC studios and which millions of listeners used
to enjoy.I hope we've done them justice."
He continues:"It's a huge responsibility when you
bring something like HItchhikers Guide or a fragment
of the Goons to the screen because people have such
incredibly strong images in their minds of what their
favorite charcters look like.You have to be fresh and
new but you also have to be loyal to the original and
not betray your fans.We found out about that when we
took League of Gentlemen from Radio 4 to BBC2.The
radio version featured a lot of charcters that we had
invented but we couldn't take them all over to TV-they
just didn't seem to fit somehow.So some were
amalgamated with others, while others were 'lost' and
some new ones popped up."
Pemberton says that although the comedy team were
liberated on radio, they were not as liberated as on
Television.That was mainly because the radio show went
out at 6.30pm in the evening, where they had to be
fairly careful about what they could and couldn't
do.Because the TV version was after the watershed,
they could be a lot blacker-"and we were."
"nevertheless, I have a great fondness for the
original radio series.A guy told me the other day that
we were very nearly the cause of a nasty accidnet.It
seems that when the BBC audio tapes came out, he had
brought the entire set to play in his car-and very
nearly ened up wrapped around a lamp post on his way
home one night because he'd been laughing so much."
Pemberton and his League of Gentlemen mates have also
toured the UK with the show.He admits that they were
amazed at what a huge fan following the League has but
points out that, although it did pretty well in London
and the south of England, it was as they toured
further north that the audiences got warmer and
warmer.
"And in Scotland," he says, "we were like heroes.
"People are always quoting lines back to me, they love
the wackiness of some of the characters that I
play-like the perverted old schoolmaster Herr Lipp-and
the line 'a local shop for local people' has now even
gone into chatchphrase books.We never reckoned on that
happening, ever."
And there is even better news for League fans-the lads
are going back on the road late in 2005
and there is
also a movie of the show in the offing.The team spent
much of 2003 getting the script together.
"Now," says Pemberton, "it's the agonisingly slow
process of getting the finance together.Anyone who has
ever attempted to make a Brtish film will know what
that is all about and how complex and terrifying it
is.A truly agonising process.You go to see a British
film in the cinema and you have to spend about ten
minutes before the titles come up reading the
corporate names of all the companies who have put
their cash into it.
"Anyway, we hope to have everything in place within
the next few months and we hope that we'll film in
late August nad early autumn.We'll do the
post-production and editing in the winter and we hope
that it will be up on screen in spring next year." Thanks to Claire for the typing!

Film News!

League film finally secures financing

Filming on The League Of Gentlemen movie is finally set to begin this
autumn after delays over financing.

But now the team think they are weeks away from having the budget for
their 90-minute comedy, and expect to start work later in the year."

Star Steve Pemberton told Teletext: "Hopefully we'll be filming it in
September and October.

"I think the financial deal will all be sorted out by Easter but I'm
totally confident we'll make it this year."

Pemberton has completed the script with colleages Mark Gatiss, Reece
Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson in which the residents of Royston Vasey
battle to save their village ­ although Pemberton is reluctant to
reveal any details.

He said: "There is a threat to the very existence of the village, but
that's all I can say." (Also I believe Edward and Tubbs will return to help defend the village! - Jason)

Hopefully this time next year it will be in cinemas. It will be an
amazing achievement because the finance has been the main stumbling
block."

Because the Chancellor recently closed a tax loophole for filmmakers,
chances are that filming won't be local... but take place in the Isle
of Man or Ireland instead.

Pemberton is also playing Harry Secombe in the forthcoming film The
Life And Death Of Peter Sellers ­ a role Johnny Vegas had been up for -
and has a small part in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie.

Is this correct?

The rumour is that the base camp has been booked in Hadfield for late Summer so maybe it will be filmed local after all??

Shakewho?

From Bard to Verse starts on BBC3 on Monday at 7:15pm. Mark Gatiss appears in episodes 2, 3, 5 and 8

Hello! - Lots of News!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently...Just got back from Cyprus and I got engaged at new year...anyway enough about me, onto the news!

I am pleased to say I have a world exclusive...well kinda...A sneak preview of an Interview with Reece by an Australian Magazine called Fiend!

See the Interview here!

Marks Novel, The vesuvius club, has been delayed until November 1st to take advantage of the Christmas market and will be promoted by Actors dressed as the main character 'Lucifer Box' handing out sample chapters at London railway stations

Jeremy Dyson's novel, Still, is now set to be published on November 3rd, also to take advantage of the Christmas market no doubt! Jeremy is also writing the foreword for a new edition of Dostoevsky's The Double which is published the 20th of May.

Mark Gatiss stars in the new film Sex Lives of the Potato Men (rated 18), released this Friday (20th)! Don't miss it!

The first episode of Catterick aired on BBC3 on Sunday, with Reece appearing as a baddie called Tony. I will have a clip up soon!

The upcoming Doctor Who 'The Green Death' disk will feature a new sketch written by and featuring Mark Gatiss as investigative journalist Terry Scanlon. It will be released in May!

Mark did an Interview on the Simon Mayo show...here, thanks to Tara here is a quick overview...

From Simon Mayo/Five live show

1. They start filming the LoG Film late summer. The production is
with Tiger Aspect but they are looking for "several million pounds"
backing. The film is a single narrative but is "High concept"
and "cinematic"

2. Mark refused to deny he was involved in the new series of Doctor
Who. (way hey!). He said he would like to BE Doctor Who (in real
life...)

3. Mark's new novel will be released in December, pushed back from
July to spend more time on the cover.

4. In Footballer's Wives, Mark is in Episode 7 and plays an agent
and said he felt like Stephanie Beecham from Dynasty.

5. Mark is "the biggest fan" of Location Location Location. And
Relocation Relocation. ;) And got very excited that they were on the
show too.

6. Mark had a big moan-up (quite rightly!) about the
mispronunciation of his name on the Catterick trailer.

7. Stalker fact - Mark wants to move from Stoke Newington to a more
rural part of London. From an ex-Stoke Newington resident (I lived
there for years) I can agree with him!

8. Sex Lives... is out on Friday and Mark said most of his scenes
are with Julia Davis.

Steve Pemberton is to play Harry Secombe in the made for TV film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers...due to be released in 2004 sometime...IMDB says it is in production.

The Gents will be doing a Live show in New York at some point in the future...more details...League of Gentlemen will be appearing at the Village Gate sometime in March (along with several of the UK's hottest comedians) as part of WestBeth's British comedy festival. The dates are still being finalized but you can check back at our website in the next couple of weeks for details. www.westbethent.com.

Francis Ford Coppolas 'the conversation' has in the opening credits a production designer called Dean Tavoularis, is this just coincidence or is it where the league got the name for the character?

02/02/2004

Jeremy clip!

You can listen to an interview with Jeremy at this link...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/speech/workinp/dyson.shtml

It is all about his Novel which will be published later this year and whilst on the subject, Mark's Book, The Vesuvius Club will be published in May and this website will be running a competition to win one of ten copies of the book in May so keep visiting!

In other news...the Gents are appearing in a few individual projects as the previous news item mentions...I don't feel it important to update you on exactly which episodes they are appearing in as I am sure you wouldn't watch the shows JUST to catch a 5 second glimpse of a gent...or which Jools Hollands shows they are about to appear on as guests in the audience as this is a League of Gentlemen Web Site not a celebrity spotting web site!

07/01/2004

Happy New year!

This years individial projects are as follows...keep your eye out for them!

Nighty Night (Mark)
Shameless (Steve)
Shaun of the Dead (Reece)
Catterick (Reece and Mark)

The Leeds Signing!

Courtesy of contributing editor Tara!

First - the Gents are in "Word" Magazine - the one
with Paul Mcartney on the front. The Photoshoot was
done "in a lift" according to Reece and took hours!

The Leeds signing beat the Charring X one for numbers!
It was incredible. Thank god we were inside out of the
rain - I pity the people queuing round the block
outside!

Mark signed all my Doctor who books - and Jeremy and
Reece signed their names in Nightshade! I got
"special" dedications in each one.

Mark's NOT in "Doctor Who at 40" on Saturday - they
wanted to interview him but he had to leave
(Panopticon).

Jeremy's novel is FINISHED! Hurrah! The first draft is
with publishers so he thinks there will be a delay yet
till we can read it.

Reece said they'd LOVE to do another live tour but
only after the film is made.

That's it!

Series 3 DVD

I have just been watching the 2nd disc on the 3rd series DVD and one thing that has struck me is the music! There is a feature on the DVD that plays the music from the series and it is just incredible!

If you haven't already bought it (for yourself or for someone else) then buy it now, it really brings new dimension to the series!

Changes to the Signing!

Borders in Charing Cross Road printed posters for 6.30pm for todays (18th) signing in error so to make it easier the Gents will be starting half an hour later.

Mark and a footballers wife!

A star of cult comedy The League Of Gentlemen is to make a cameo
appearance in the forthcoming third series of ITV1's Footballers'
Wives.

Mark Gatiss, 37, told TV Plus: "My agent rang me up and said: 'I know
you won't be interested but do you fancy doing a cameo for
Footballers' Wives?'

"I almost ripped the phone off her going, 'Of course I would. I love
the show - it's like a modern-day Dynasty. It was a joy to do."

Gatiss will play Teddy, the showbiz agent of Tanya Turner (Zoe
Lucker).

"She's a Bollywood actress on the side and wants to do more TV work,"
said Gatiss. "Teddy is very camp."

He laughed: "I hope he goes down well and the fourth series is based
around him."

Footballers' Wives returns in the New Year.

Film News at last!

Gentlemen weave dark humour into a movie
Exclusive by Jonathan Donald
The League Of Gentlemen cast are turning their cult BBC2 series into a movie.

Stars Mark Gatiss, Reece Sheersmith, Steve Pemberton and their co-writer Jeremy Dyson are putting the finishing touches to the script.

Gatiss told Teletext: "We've got a draft now that we're very happy with and we've drawn up a list of film companies that we want to talk to. It's just a question now of whose money we take. We want total control."

The cast admit the move is a massive risk.

"We've always wanted to make one but we've just been building up to it over the last year," said Gatiss. "The last series was like a stepping stone, but it's a totally different business. It's so terrifying because there's so much more at stake."

They hope to begin production in the New Year with the release in 2005 and fictional town Royston Vasey — which is actually Hadfield in Derbyshire — will be the setting for the movie to be followed by a fourth TV series.

Pemberton said: "It will be set in Royston Vasey but it won't be what people expect. With a film there's obviously scope for a lot more special effects, but it all depends on the budget. It's all very ambitious."

With its grotesque characters and dark storylines careering between humour and tragedy, the show has become a cult. But the last series was not so well received, prompting speculation that it would be the last.

"We've created around 100 characters so far and with that many you don't feel that you've run out of things to say," said Pemberton.

Book Signings confirmed!

Leeds Borders at 6pm on 19th Nov!

Book Signing!

I received this email from the nice lady at the Beeb who is handling publicity for the Gents book and DVD release!

"Boys will be in Borders Leeds on 19th November at 6pm to sign copies of both. There will also be 2 possible signings in London"

Spot Mark!

Mark Gatiss interviews Rufus Wainwright in this months edition of Attitude Magazine. Thanks Lauren. Mark will also be making a short cameo in Stephen Fry's new film Bright Young Things, which is out Friday 3 October. I think he is playing a photographer.

According to The Times, Mark Gatiss is apparently the script editor of Little Britain. Which would explain the Royston Vasey comparisons that reviewers of LB have been making recently

To what degree?

IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE: UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES HONORARY GRADUATES League of Gentlemen to receive Honorary Degree

THE UNIVERSITY OF HUDDERSFIELD has announced its list of Honorary Graduates. Each will receive an honorary degree during the University's Graduation Ceremonies in November.

The League of Gentlemen, the former West Yorkshire drama students responsible for the cult TV comedy, will each receive an Honorary Doctor of Letters - DLitt. Well-known for the acclaimed series set in the fictitious Pennine town of Royston Vesey, actors and script-writers Steve Pemberton, Jeremy Dyson, Reece Sheersmith and Mark all studied locally at Bretton Hall and Leeds University.

Their multi-award winning BBC2 show has a large student following and ran for a third series last September. Acclaimed as one of the most innovative television comedies of the last 20 years, The League of Gentlemen started life on the Edinburgh Fringe where it won a Perrier Award. It then transferred to Radio 4 where it won a Sony Award then to BBC2 where more awards and critical acclaim followed.

"It's certainly dark but it came at a time when TV comedy was less prepared to take risks," said Philip Williams, Head of Public Relations who nominated the series' creators for the award. "Some of the show's catch-phrases have entered the language. On local buses and trains you'll often hear people saying things like 'It's a bit Royston Vesey up there' when referring to remote Pennine villages."

The show's creators will receive their Honorary Degrees at a graduation ceremony in Huddersfield Town Hall on 20 November.

Other figures to be honoured during the Award Ceremonies include Yorkshire-born Joanna Harris, author of Chocolat, the Bishop of Manchester, The Right Reverend Nigel McCulloch, James Dillon the composer and inspirational charity fund-raiser Jane Tomlinson. Other figures from the world of business, academia and public life will also receive honorary awards.

"The League of Gentlemen deserve their award for their sheer creativity and the way they've developed their darkly comedic vision from a Fringe sketch to one of the most innovative TV series of recent years," said Philip Williams.

01/09/2003

So...no news is good news? The League of Gentlemen were recently voted 4th best TV COmedy of all time, not bad eh?

Not the real Babs or the real Babs cab!Cabbie in frock lands himself in the dock

A CABBIE who picked up customers while dressed as a transsexual character in "honour" of his favourite TV show, found himself in court.

Chris Woodward runs a cab firm just a couple of miles from where the hit BBC comedy series, The League of Gentlemen, is filmed.

IN THE PINK: Chris as Babs

After helping out on the programme, joker Chris decided to start impersonating one of the show's characters, Babs, a transsexual cabbie . . . and dressed as a woman to pick people up in a pink taxi with Babs' Cabs written on the sides.

But council chiefs didn't see the funny side and brought five charges against him for driving a vehicle he wasn't licensed to, while impersonating someone else. The charges were later dropped in court.

Chris, who runs Goldline Taxis, in Henry Street, Glossop, said: "How on earth can you get charged for impersonating a transsexual television character?

"It's absurd. Everybody knows I love the League of Gentlemen and that I was impersonating Babs for a laugh. When I picked people up as Babs, it was only for a laugh - and I didn't take money from them."


A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Chris Woodward
The League of Gentlemen, filmed around Hadfield, follows a bunch of strange characters in an isolated community and has proved a massive cult hit.

A spokesman for High Peak council said Chris had been charged because Babs' Cabs did not exist and he was only licensed to drive Goldline taxis.

He also said Chris had "misled" the public because the phone number on the vehicle was still that of Goldline taxis - with no mention of that firm by name.

He added the council and police were concerned about "bogus" taxi drivers.

Chris and business partner Ivan Leachman, meanwhile, were fined a total of £950 for separate licence offences. They admitted 10 charges of breaching private hire legislation, at Buxton magistrates' court.

Chris was fined £850 with £225 costs and his partner £450 plus £125 towards costs. High Peak council said both taxi-private hire drivers' licences and the vehicle licence had expired. When it was pointed out, Chris obtained a new licence that day.

3rd Series out soon on Video and DVD!

The moslt likely date will be October but it may be November, a search on the Internet does not find a release date yet but I am told October by a fairly reliable source!

Ebay Fake copy!

If you have been unable to wait and have been tempted to buy a so called DVD off Ebay of the 3rd series then I have to advise you not to. I ordered a copy for review purposes and although it does exactly what it says it will do, the quality isn't even VHS quality. Also the guy selling them isn't 'Local' and is uncommunicative and wasn't exactly truthful in his dealings, it took 4 weeks to arrive and was posted the day before it arrived when he had promised that it had been posted 5 days before but postmarks don't lie! Stay away!

04/07/2003

League Film Rumour #1

Steve and Reece have been touring all the old Victorian theatres in London researching for a new movie they have been asked to write about an old ghost who lives in a theatre! This could be research for the much talked of League film (and whilst we are on the subject, the Extrordinary film is NOT a League of Gentlemen Film) or it could be research for this years hoped for League of gentlemen Christmas Special or it could be an altogether different project! So there you go, and before I get emails, I don't class this as a spoiler really but in future if many rumours start to come in I will put a seperate spoiler page up!

Rudolf Rocker with jeremy!

Received this email today, if anyone goes can they send a gig revue to me at jk@leagueofgentlemen.co.uk...

Hi Jason,

Just had Jeremy in rehearsing with the rest of Rudolf Rocker for a special, one-off gig in Leeds on Saturday April 5th. He suggested I get in touch, so here's the details:


Saturday 5th April 2003 - Mook All-Dayer at Joseph's Well, Leeds.

Mook Records and House of Mook Studios celebrate the release of the album scum by Pop Threat with an all-day event featuring 10 bands. This includes League of Gentlemen member Jeremy Dyson making a rare live appearance in his role as keyboard player with Rudolf Rocker. The last time all three members of Rudolf Rocker performed together was in March 2000, as one of the last bands to play at The Duchess in Leeds.

Other acts include Percy (featuring ex-Housemartin Hugh Whitaker on drums), the hotly tipped 10,000 Things and Buzzkill, fresh from a European tour.

Rudolf Rocker are currently working on their second album for Mook Records. Percy's debut album will be released later this year. Pop Threat are unfortunately unable to appear at the gig.

Admission is £5.00. Doors open from 2.00 pm. Rudolf Rocker will be on in the evening

Joseph's Well is on Chorley Lane, Leeds LS2 9NW. Telephone 0113 203 1861.

Tour Merchandise

I have been asked quite a few times recently about the official Tour Merchandise...T-Shirts and beanie hats etc...there was a company that used to have the license to sell official League of Gentlemen merchandise but I have been informed now that they are no longer allowed to sell Official Merchandise.

But better news...

We have managed to acquire a very small quantity of the original snowstorms that were given away with Series 1 Video. These globes have sold for crazy amounts in the past due to their scarcity. If you'd like to get your hands on one of the originals we are currently offering them on a first come first served basis...see here for details!

Ciccerones

If you go to http://www.filmfour.com and search in short films you can watch Jeremy Dysons Short film The Ciccerones starring Mark Gattiss!

It's your birthday now!

Apparently WHSmiths are selling League of Gentlemen greeting cards at some stores!

23/03/2003

Spielburg a League fan?

If you watched last nights final episode of Taken you may have wondered if Speilburg stole the Nose bleed scene but when the army guy said at the end...'There's nothing for us here' that clinched it for me!

17/03/2003

NOT TRUE!

The following article about the Gents being the next Dr Who was taken from The Sunday Mirror and the Chortle web site. Unfortunately I have had it confirmed from the League's management that this is not so. The official comment is...'Sadly no foundation in this rumour at all' - so there you go, don't always believe everything you read in the newspapers!

A League of Doctors!

The Daleks and Cybermen are coming back with Dr Who returning to TV after a break of 14 years.

The stars behind hit comedy The League of Gentlemen are in talks with senior BBC executives and have already written scripts. The Doctor will be played by League regular Mark Gatiss, a lifelong fan of the cult show.

The rest of the League - Mark Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson - are expected to play villains, with guest appearances by other big-name British stars.

The show, with millions of fans worldwide, will keep its trademark cheap wobbly sets and plastic monsters.

The last series, with Sylvester McCoy as the Time Lord, ended in 1989.

Doctor Who launched in 1963 with William Hartnell as the first Time Lord. Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Peter Davison were among others in the role over the 26-year run.

13/01/2003

Happy new year!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, there hasn't been much to say though!

Art has now finished and the bad news is that it seems it was never filmed, so for those of you that missed it, start crying now!

I have had loads of emails recently asking about a new League tour, unfortunately I have it from a good source that there are no definate plans for another tour. I think their plans is to have a rest and then start to write the film! It wouldn't surprise me if they did arrange a tour for later in the year though, maybe to try out new stuff?

For those of you that have asked if I know when the Third series will be out on DVD, well I doubt if even the BBC have a definate date, but from experience I would have a guess at August/September!

And...for those eager beavers asking when the next series is coming out, don't hold your breath! They have gone from writing the third to filming the third to art so they won't have had time to even talk to the BBC about commissioning a fourth yet, give it time!

I will be doing some research on Mark's solo project in the next week and will report my findings soon!

26/12

Competition!

There is a competition here to win the second series Video! There is also an article about this site and the league here!

Peter Jackson - LoG Fan?

You may have seen the new Two Towers film, Lord of the Rings? Did you spot the LoG reference? Maybe it was and maybe it is a coincidence but it would be funny if the Log were referenced in a film considering the amount of film references they manage to squeeze in! Anyway, during a scene between Elrond and Arwen where Elrond is explaining that if she stays she will be alone. At one point he turns to her and utters the following:

"Arwen, there is nothing for you here."

So, proof that Arwen is just not local. Would love to see her in my local though!

I have just ordered my first Dr.Who item since I was bought an annual when I was 8! Marg Gatiss wrote and directed a Dr.Who play called 'Invaders from Mars' and since January it has been available on double CD, you can order yours or learn more about it at this link, http://www.doctorwho.co.uk/bf028_invadersfrommars.htm I am not really a Dr.Who fan but this sounds a good story and may be an ideal introduction into the Dr.Who world, besides anything written by Mr Gatiss has to have a little humour in it!

TLC - Television likes Comedy!

Just a reminder that TLC starts tonight at 9.30pm! If you want to know a little bit about it, read below, may contain spoilers!

Dr Flynn (Reece Shearsmith) is on his first shift as a junior hospital doctor. He's
about to plunge a huge needle into a patients chest when he wakes
from a dream and finds that hes about to stab a corpse. Then the
lights go out and, fortunately, he's still dreaming. Woken by his
bleeper this time, he rushes to attend to a patient suffering a
cardiac arrest. Then he notices that he and everyone else is naked.

Before he can blush, Flynn is woken again - for real this time. He is
called to a real cardiac arrest but smashes into a door on the way.
So begins Flynns initiation into the hospital system.

Along the way, he meets registrar Dr Noble, the tough Sister Hope,
Staff Nurse Judy, monstrous surgical consultant Mr Ron and a host of
other, equally baffling characters who live and work in the hospital.
It is Nobles task to help Flynn settle in - and to keep him awake.
And its not long before the junior doctor discovers that there's only
one drug that really matters in this hospital - coffee.

loads already. We've actually shot a documentary ourselves. We spent the
whole year writing and producing it, which is probably gonna start on
BBC3. But there's an awful lot. We might actually have to go to 3 discs!
There's just so much stuff, but anyway, that's for next year..."

Half way there!

Or more if you have Beeb Choice! Anyway, after reading a lot of reports and opinions on the third series I thought I would add my bit.

Yes, it is different. No, it isn't as immediately funny, but has it ever been? It isn't the fast show and it isn't meant to be the fast show. The first two series weren't as funny on the first watch as they were on the second, third and fourth! Comedy is not a Big Mac, you shouldn't expect the same every time you take a bite, how boring would that be!

Having seen the first three episodes we have seen half of a film, you wouldn't walk out of a three hour film after the first hour and a half and expect to be able to say if it was good or not! I think they have made something truly original (well as original as it can be taking inspiration from everything around them!) and something that has to be seen in it's entirety. They are telling a story that will only become clear in the final episode.

Yes, they will have lost fans of the first two series but they will have gained fans who love how complex it all is! Remember that all fiction can be taken on many levels, Bridget Jones Diary was Pride and prejudice, Alan Bennett fans will love Marks monologues, documentary watchers will love the Doctor and the Debt collectors. You can watch the individual sketches or you can try to see the bigger picture and maybe enjoy it all the more.

For those of you who watched the Geoff Tipps episode last night this is what you have to look forward to!

The Medusa Touch.

Award-winning comedy series set in a remote town populated by a range of bizarre characters. B&B proprietors Alvin and Sunny invite their weekend 'Sexplorers' to join them in a voyage of auto-erotic discovery - although Alvin would prefer to be at the garden centre. But who is the mysterious femme fatale in the dwarf conifers and what is the secret of the fearsome 'Medusa'? ++ This week's magnificent slab of tawdriness focuses on a gathering of "Sexploers" at the B&B, led by the figure of 'Daddy' with his auto erotic asphyxiation machine. Interspersed with the sexual shenanigans is a superb portrayal of ultra-pushy parents putting their poor daughter through the misery of the Junior Miss Elegance Pageant

Anyway for those with Choice look out for next weeks episode entitled 'Beauty and the Beast (or come into my parlour) this is the review...

Award-winning comedy series set in a remote town populated by a range
of bizarre characters. The launch of Judee Levinson's beauty salon
proves to be a great success, thanks to Charlie Hull's unexpected
skill as a masseur. Meanwhile, Neds and Tris have a night-time
adventure in Maxie Power, the home-made, crime-solving car.

Cornerhouse in Manchester

On Friday October 25th, Jeremy Dysons short film THE CICERONES will be shown before the main feature DEAD OF NIGHT at 10.45pm!

DEAD OF NIGHT will be proceeded by an introduction from writer Ramsey Campbel

04/10

Two down...

Oh dear, two episodes down and only 4 left! I have to admit there are mixed feelings in our house over the new series, I love it but my wife isn't so sure. She thought the best episode was the third seen on BBC Choice last night and I have to agree despite it having Tish in it who I dislike! I am not sure about the ending though, it doesn't seem to be creating a storyline around the ending of each episode, they just all end there. Then again, I have faith in the lads, time will tell! Enjoy the new sound clips and video clips, youwill find them in news/series3!

You can now buy the Xmas Special Video that comes in a local Shop shaped tin, these are sure to become collectors items so order yours now HERE!

A reminder!
