Summary
These and other memorable townsfolk are ferried around by Barbara, a taxi driver half way through his sex change, and served by Mr Iingleby, who brings a whole new meaning to the term 'small shopkeeper'.
Murderously funny and actuely observed, The League of Gentlemen's highly acclaimed brand of comedy shows human nature at its most extreme, and most hilarious.

So glad this is available digitally
Some of the humour hasn't aged well, but the characters, plots, and dark, bizarre situations are superb.
If you enjoyed the TV series, I'd highly recommend listening to this and going back to where it started!

Genius!
No other words to describe this.
Some parts will be familiar to those who have viewed Series 1 but there are plenty of unheard/unseen characters also.
I’ve listened to this numerous times & it is a delight to devour it.

Wonderful but probably dated
Loved this so much. It's slightly different to the tv series but the performances are just as good and characters just as fabulous, even though you can't see them.

Fans of the TV series will enjoy these.
I’ve seen the 3 LoG TV series, but not heard any of the radio series. This has a lot of familiarity with the first TV series, and contains many of the characters that fans of the TV series will know. These include Dr Chinnery, Pauline, Pop and the Dentons.
Well written and acted.

Okey cokey pig in a pokey!
I Love the league more than life itself! So much fun, interesting play of the TV show in its infancy.

Laugh-out-loud bizarre comedy genre of its own
If you could sum up On the Town with The League of Gentlemen in three words, what would they be?
Expect the unexpected. A neatly segued series of sketches in the village of Spent, built into a story line, which led to the dark and hilarious TV series in Royston Vaisey - you'll not want to turn it off. Prime yourself for the side- (and other-) splitting effects of the incompetently murderous vet tending to an unwilling panda, the cockatoo with tooth ache, the swollen hamster and pregnant cow. Meet gruff Barbara the trans-gender taxi-driver. Enjoy the toad-related horrors and more of Naked Thursday - and relish the quickfire timing and puns. What other comedy team could end an episode with "Alas, hoist by my own pet-toad"? Unmissable.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The living scarecrow - but you have to listen to find out it and it's keepers dark secrets...so I'll also nominate Pauline the sadistic Job Centre Manager and her pen-friends - listen in to laugh out loud...
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favourite?
This is like asking which member of a band is the best; one can't disentangle the cogs in this comedy machine...
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Feeling Spent
Any additional comments?
So much better in digital than on original tape (!) - easy to rewind to rehearse the jokes! Do not read anywhere where you'll be slapped for obviously enjoying yourself too much.

Brilliant!
Very enjoyable - I'd recommend this to any League of Gentlement fans. I have this and series 2 and 3 - I listen to them all, wait a few months to forget the jokes a bit and then listen again. I've done that several times! It's a work of genius! Only thing I'd like too is series 1 which doesn't seem to be available. Thanks to the creators of this for making me laugh many times over.

A fantastically dark and fully realised world.
I'm a huge and oldschool fan of the TV show, this is sufficiently different to be both funny and insightful. While not as dark as the TV show, great voice acting and exceptionally tight scripts make it stand out.
