		Their radio series was a classic, bringing the best of their stage sketches together in the fictional town of Spent.
		Viewers new to the League are given a crash course in who the characters are and what to expect from them, before the real story takes hold and Briss, Lipp and hapless loser Geoff emerge into the real world to track down their real life counterparts Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Mark Gatiss.
		Whereas in Series Three of the TV show it seemed that the narrative occasionally swamped the laughs, here their touch is far more deft, and the gags rarely let up for a moment.

		What is noticable about the radio series is the amazing energy & inventiveness on display - although some of sketches are more rushed & shorter than how they finally ended up in the TV series.
		The radio series was recorded in front of a studio audience & clearly illustrates the League's brilliance as live performers.
		The radio series is more whimsical than the TV series (probably due to the fact that the series was broadcast in a 6.30PM slot) but considering the restrictions that this must have put on the material, it is still startling dark (definitely not typical Radio 4 6.30PM comedy fare!)

		The minor leaguers wear blue-colored mesh Dodger jerseys for their workouts, but for the official mug shot, they chose from four different-sized white home uniform tops, the same "look" as the big leaguers' photo day on March 1.

		On the Town With the League of Gentlemen is an odd series in that it is clearly fresh and original, while still fitting perfectly within BBC Radio 4's format for a 30-minute comedy show.
		The radio series starts this in its very first moments, with its foul-mouthed nun stealing a man's train ticket and an unpleasant radio agony aunt heaping withering scorn on the people making requests.
		The TV series might have been able to swear a bit more, and indulge the boys' taste for parading around in female flesh-suits, but it really was on the radio that this series first started flexing its muscles.

	Blogcritics.org: The League of Gentlemen
		One thing about the entire series is that you'd have to watch the seasons progressively to fully appreciate all the jokes, because they often pick up from where they left off, and also dig up older references from seasons past to construct their discourse.
		While season one was mostly a sketch show, with little intertwining of characters, season three was more complex in that they centered on fewer characters and went deeper into the plots; cleverest was their tying in all six episodes in the final season to one, giant bang (and I mean bang) of an ending.
		I was, however, fascinated by the talk of a rashomon style affair to it all, with the same incident being the focus of the series.
