We've just finished gathering ourselves after three nights of brand new episodes of The League of Gentlemen finished airing on BBC 2. After 15 years, the epic Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson have delivered the perfect early Xmas gift for fans of the show.

It's great to see old favourites like Pauleen and Mickey, Charlie and Stella (tell him Luigi!) and Tubbs and Edward return for one last round of darker-than-dark macabre comedy gold.

Even though the 90-odd minutes run time seemed criminally short, there remains hope for Royston Vasey fans as the guys are taking their show on the road in 2018 with a series of live dates across the UK.

And bonus news comes in the form of the new series of Pemberton/Shearsmiths' excellent Inside No. 9 which kicks off early January too!
