A Gothic-comedy masterpiece, The League of Gentlemen Christmas Special is a horrific anthology of three related stories, all set in Royston Vasey, which takes its inspiration as much from the writings of M.R. James and Edgar Allan Poe as the low-budget Hammer and Amicus shockers that the team parodies 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 Nosferatu 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 characterization and macabre humor into a single hour; the result is one of the most daring "comedies" ever seen on British TV. --Mark Walker

Thw League's Christmas special is a fanastic show to see. I would not recommend it to the eaasily scared, because it's all normal until the last bit. I am actually a bearded hermit who is 64, and I don't have an email adress so I am using this section.

- what the heck is going on in DUISBERG?
FINALLY....that question has been answered!! Herr Lipp is featured, along with his wife and choir (pronounced "queer") boys. This is by far the funniest of the three stories (the others featuring charlie/stella and Dr. Chinnery). If you're a fan of Herr Lipp (who isn't?), this is a must purchase.

Be warned that this is more like Series 3, and it's pretty dark (duh) for a Christmas Special.
