Production[]
This series was the first time Dyson, Gatiss, Pemberton and Shearsmith had made for television, and was based upon the concepts of their tour and radio series already made.

This series introduced the location of Royston Vasey - the real name of actor Roy "Chubby" Brown - the radio series having been set in the fellow fictional town of Spent.

The series aired on BBC Two between 11 January 1999 - 15 February 1999.[1] Each episode had an approximate running time of 30 minutes, as with all regular episodes of The League of Gentlemen.
