20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [2003]
The heroes of 1899 are brought to life with the help of some expensive special effects in <I>The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen</I>. From the pages of Victorian literature come Captain Nemo, Dr Jekyll (and his alter ego Mr Hyde), Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, the Invisible Man, Mina Harker (from <I>Dracula</I>), and the hunter Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), all assembled to combat an evil megalomaniac out to conquer the world. <p>It's hardly an original plot, but perhaps that's fitting for a movie sewn together like Frankenstein's monster. It rushes from one frenetic battle to another, replacing sense with spectacle--Nemo's submarine rising from the water, a warehouse full of zeppelins bursting into flame, Venice collapsing into its own canals. It's flashy, dumb, and completely incoherent. Fans of the original comic book will be disappointed. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>

BBC WORLDWIDE PUBLISHING The League of Gentlemen -- Christmas Special [1999]
A Gothic-comedy masterpiece, <I>The League of Gentlemen Christmas Special</I> is a horrific anthology of three related stories, all set in Royston Vasey, which takes its inspiration as much from the writings of MR James and Edgar Allan Poe as the low-budget Hammer and Amicus shockers that the team parody so affectionately. The stories are all linked by the Dickensian device of Reverend Bernice receiving unexpected guests on Christmas Eve: the first concerns troubled married couple Charlie and Stella becoming unwittingly involved in voodoo and witchcraft; the second features the horrendous Herr Lipp in a <I>Nosferatu</I> skit that reveals the terrible truth about what really goes on in Duisburg; while the third, and best, tells of the horrible hereditary curse that afflicted Dr Chinnery's great-grandfather. This one-off special distils all the League's penchant for disturbing, twisted characterisation and macabre humour into a single hour; the result is one of the most daring comedies ever seen on British TV. <p> <B>On the DVD:</B> <I>The League of Gentlemen Christmas Special</I> on disc contains the hour-long main feature accompanied by a diverse and entertaining array of extras. There's another illuminating group commentary; a 20-minute documentary Tales from Behind the Crypt, in which we get to see excerpts from the team's first ensemble effort, Highgate House of Horror; a chat with composer Jody Talbot; and the League themselves In Conversation with Paul Jackson in the complete Radio 4 broadcast. A selection of out-takes, extended scenes, character biographies and a photo gallery are all worthwhile, but best of all is a <I>Jackanory</I> special with Mark Gatiss as the Victorian Dr Chinnery telling the Gothic tale of The Curse of the Karrit Poor, a spot-on Arthur Conan Doyle spoof. --<I>Mark Walker</I>

BBC WORLDWIDE PUBLISHING The League Of Gentlemen - Series 3 (2002)
The third series of <I>The League of Gentlemen</I> takes the portmanteau horror approach of their Christmas Special and extends it daringly across the entire six episodes. Here, each half-hour instalment is a self-contained story featuring various familiar and less well-known inhabitants of Britain's most accursed town, Royston Vasey. But each individual tale leads--horribly, inevitably--towards a single shocking event, the full circumstances of which are only realised in a final, macabre twist. It's all far too bleak to be called comedy, just too damn funny to be anything else. This is a team who have always defined their own rules, nowhere more boldly than here. <p> Opening with a funky new theme tune, the six episodes feature--among others--ex-con Pauline and Mickey in a touching tale of transvestisism; Lance the one-armed comedy shop owner yearning for a new limb; foul-tempered Geoff Tipps trying to make it as a stand-up comic in Lundun; some eye-popping fetishist behaviour at the local B&B; seedy goings-on in the massage parlour; and, most horrendously of all, the dreaded return of Papa Lazarou. It all proved too much for some viewers--too grotesque, too offbeat, too surreal. Packed with knowing references to obscure movies and filled with the most unpleasant characters ever to grace a sitcom, this is certainly an uncompromising series, and one that invites fascinated speculation on what dark delights await in their upcoming movie. <p> <B>On the DVD:</B> <I>The League of Gentlemen, Series 3</I> two-disc set maintains the high standard of extra features established by the previous series. Here there's more raucous Local Gossip with the four gents on the first disc, plus a second disc of insightful background material including: a 30-minute making of documentary by Adam Buxton (of Adam and Joe); a candid video diary from Steve Pemberton; a truly dire magic tutorial from Dean Tavalouris (Reece Shearsmith); Joby Talbot's music score; an interview with costume designer Yves Barre; outtakes and deleted scenes; plus a Mike King Enterprises editing suite, enabling you to muck about with the ending sequence and ruin it completely. --<I>Mark Walker</I>

Fourth Estate A Local Book for Local People
This is <I>A Local Book for Local People</I>. There is nothing for you here. They have been described as comedy's new macabre shock jocks, but Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith and Jeremy Dyson insist they only want to entertain each other. The League of Gentlemen were first noticed at Edinburgh in 1996 and scooped the prestigious Perrier Award the following year. Their first BBC show was Radio 4's <I>On The Town With The League Of Gentlemen</I> followed swiftly by the BBC 2 series which unleashed the freakish inhabitants of Royston Vasey.<p>You don't need an excuse to enjoy the charms of Barbara the transsexual taxi driver, Mr Chinnery the lethal vet, on the job with Pauline Campbell Jones or the fun of putting yourself into a child with Legz Akimbo, but the League have provided one anyway. In true Blair Witch style, <I>A Local Book for Local People</I> is found evidence, Tubbs' secret scrapbook, retrieved from the fire which destroyed the local shop. I like to find things, says Tubbs. When I am out on the moors burying people with my husband, Edward, I offen find things. Shiny things or things of intrest. Edward tells me not to pick them up, especially the brown ones, but I allways do. Edward, it transpires, has been living something of a double life--and not a particularly local one. Edward has been given lots of medals for bravery in the war. He had lots of little medals called pesetas. I asked him why his skin turned brown and he said that he had been tortured.<p>As in the TV series, the attention to detail is astonishing. Every character emerges from the shadows on some pretext or other (local ad, news clipping, etc) for their own star turn. If you have a penchant for the absurd, bizarre or downright surreal, <I>A Local Book for Local People</I>'s dark humour is for you. You will never leave the Royston Vasey book, Mickey love. --<I>Iain Campbell</I>

Vision Video Ltd. The League Of Gentlemen - Live At Drury Lane [1999]
What do you think this is... Dick Whittington? shouts Reece Shearsmith in <I>The League of Gentlemen--Live at Drury Lane</I>--the West End version of the BBC2 series--You'll be wanting to see men dressed as women next! Reece is, needless to say, dragged-up to the nines at this point. The first half of the production--which Shearsmith, alongside Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton took to Drury Lane in March 2001--sees the trio revisit their Perrier Award winning show of 1997. Clad in tuxedos, the League explore a public schoolboy's love of theatre and smut with sketches that border on post-modern: football fans chant Ooh-ahh, Ophelia during <I>Hamlet</I>; a Restoration comedy turns into a Faustian pact; Artic explorers battle repressed homosexuality. The second, and funnier half sees the action move to Royston Vasey, as Tubs looks over the audience and coos we can't kill them all. The favourite characters transfer to the stage brilliantly, thanks to swift direction and filming that captures every macabre expression. Herr Lipp--looking like Richard Whitely in twin set and pearls--is a scream, and the closing mystery of Who Shot Pauline? is heaven for any League fanatic. --<I>Ian Watson</I><p><b >On the DVD:</b> Not a great many extras here, but a couple of additional scenes are welcome. We get Benjamin and the Dentons at breakfast, familiar from Series 1 of the TV series, plus demented newsagent owner Pop and his dynastic ambitions for his two sons. There's also the Big Woman phone message which first appeared in the League's radio series, multi-angle versions of two sketches (Scott of the Antarctic and Go Johnny Go Go Go Go), Web site links and a screensaver. --<I>Mark Walker</I>

Titan Books The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Book 2
<I>The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume II</I> finds cocreators Alan Moore (writer) and Kevin O'Neill (artist) back on familiar ground, revisiting the classic Victorian-era characters that they used to such effect in the bestselling and rightfully acclaimed first volume. It's a superhero tale, but--as expected from Moore--a rather unconventional one. This League is drawn from some of the classic characters from English literature: Alan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Hawley Griffin (the Invisible Man), Mr Hyde and Miss Mina Murray (formerly Harker, the heroine of <I>Dracula</I>). And this tale is taken directly from HG Wells' classic <I>War of the Worlds</I>, as Martian invaders (complete with tripods and heat rays) begin to land in England, bent on conquest. They seem unstoppable as they rage across the countryside towards London, but they hadn't counted on the League, or the eccentric genius of Dr Alphonse Moreau. <p> As with the first <I>League of Extraordinary Gentlemen</I>, it's the meticulous sense of era and place that makes volume II a success. The minutia of Victorian England is set seamlessly alongside objects and ideas that never appeared outside of myth and legend, while references to other famous fictional characters and events are casually introduced, then quickly tossed aside. And, of course, it's a ripping yarn, in the classic <I>Boys' Own</I> style (right down to the cliff hanger-style, end of chapter narrations). However, unlike volume I, there are several scenes that aren't suitable for all readers (particularly those of a delicate disposition). It's almost as if Moore and O'Neill, anticipating the heightened interest that 2003's <I>League of Extraordinary Gentlemen</I> film would bring, have willingly set out to shock and even alienate newer readers. So there's a fairly explicit sex scene, some rather brutal violence and, perhaps most unnerving, it's almost inevitable that no reader will ever look at Rupert the Bear in the same way again. <I>--Robert Burrow</I>

Titan Books The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Proving that mainstream comics could be infused with past literary/cultural ideals and still be best sellers, the <I>America's Best Comics</I> imprint took the dilapidated superhero genre and created three vastly entertaining hybrids with <I>Tom Strong</I>, <I>Promethea</I> and <I>Top Ten</I>. Now, a stunning <I>coup de grace</I> is delivered with this masterful pairing of Victorian adventure fiction's greatest characters and the old war-horse of the super-group. With the stunning <I>The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen</I>, it would be no exaggeration to say that Alan Moore has produced a near-perfect piece of adventure fiction that is clever, literate, rich with excitement and hard to put down.<p>It's 1898 and at the behest of M, the mysterious head of the secret Service, Campion Bond is dispatched to procure the services of Miss Mina Murray (nee Harker), adventurer Allan Quartermain, Science-Pirate Captain Nemo, Henry Jekyll (and his monstrous alter ego) and Hawley Griffin (aka The Invisible Man). Together, they must combat an insidious threat that will decide supremacy of the London skies, but their success may unleash a far greater threat. With no shortage of action, Moore and O' Neill sustain a high level of suspense, intrigue, mystery and terrific wit that all contribute to an indispensable read. O'Neill's art, so memorable in <I>Marshal Law</I>, produces a London filled with vivid, magnificent architecture and a malevolent atmosphere ripe with thrills and danger. An unmitigated triumph, the sequel cannot come soon enough, with such a glorious past showing what the future can hold for comics. Magnificent--pure and simple. --<I>Danny Graydon</I>
