What a shame that this once excellent comedy ensemble have lowered themselves to this cheap pantomime humour. The beauty of the Gents is the atmosphere the TV show creates but in this DVD, it's just some silly jokes on a huge stage. As if the film wasn't bad enough, they had to sell out even more and embarrass themselves again. It's a shame that some excellent gems of British comedy go this way. Why on earth did they feel the need to do this. I am a huge fan of the series but this is so disappointing. I'm really not sure if there is any way of them redeeming themselves.

The sketch comedy subgenre consists of a series of short, self-contained scenes or sketches, often connected by a common theme, style, or recurring characters. Each sketch typically lasts a few minutes and presents a humorous situation, scenario, or interaction that delivers a punchline, comedic twist, or funny observation.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The League of Gentlemen bring their dark but brilliant humour to the stage in this "alternative" pantomime... they're behind you!
