Local Histories: The Dentons (The League of Gentlemen)

[@josemaria8177]

Unpopular opinion: The Dentons are the scariest residents of Royston Vasey. While Papa Lazarou and Edward and Tubbs are almost cartoonish in their evilness, The Dentons provide a picture of suburban horror, that nagging feeling that your distant relatives are a bit more "weird" than normal

[@WeeLin]

Yes, I think you've hit the nail on the head there! It's the awkwardness of having to be polite at all times, plus the knowledge that these people are actually related to you and there's no escaping that. When you stay in someone's home for a while, you get the full weirdness that no-one else sees, and it's hard to say what would be a "normal" amount. On the other hand, you'd see Edward Tattsyrup or Papa Laz and probably just run for it!

[@NidgeOSullivan]

I love Edward and Tubbs.

[@fransb8543]

If none of your distant relatives are weird, it means you are the weird distant relative.

Absolutely loved the league of gentlemen back in the day. Mark Gatiss in particular really did the ‘creepiness’ in a funny but non-over the top way that I just love. I was always drawn to *his* performance in these scenes.

[@am_lara]

Ben is actually my favourite character. I don't know why, considering that there's so many amazing and weird characters in the show, and I really do love all of them. I guess he's really just a nice guy in this genuinely terrifying town. But yeah, I know I'm commenting over a year late, but I just wanted to say how underrated your channel is. You've gained a new subscriber, and I hope you have a nice day :)

I remember Edward freaking me out when I was really young

[@-b_i_b_b_y-]

WeeLin, I love your content and so appreciate all the work you put into your videos! On the Dentons: Not long ago I lived with/worked for a couple as a carer for their three disabled children in a tiny village and had a really, really horrible time. I struggled to explain to people what it was about this household that made me leave after just a month, then when I watched the LoG for the first time this year I finally had the Dentons to point to and say "you know them? It was basically that". The show actually really helped me to feel like my feelings and reaction to the whole experience was valid. Thankfully in the real world we have a much better chance of coming out of toxic situations not quite as screwed up as poor Benjamin....

[@WeeLin]

Thanks! So sorry to hear you had your own Denton experience, and it's funny how a weird show like the League actually managed to help you make sense of a horrible situation. It's so difficult when you're in someone else's home to decide what is and isn't a reasonable request, especially when you're trying to be a good guest (plus those confusing mixed messages, such as when "get up whenever you like" actually means "6.15am, no later!")

[@-b_i_b_b_y-]

@@WeeLin Oh, so much. And how performative they are- there would always be a full spread at breakfast, spoons in jars and bits of butter on dishes like in the show... only for them to never get eaten! I would end up washing millions of finnicky little spoons that had been sitting in pots of chutney that nobody liked

[@nevecariad]

I’ve also found it really helpful. I think it touches on ideas around hygiene, etiquette and ageing that we all witness through family members and eventually must come to terms with within ourselves

[@nevecariad]

Even in their interiors with ugly patterns and colours. Even though we know order and cleanliness is paramount in the Denton household, there is so much grotesqueness and dirtiness that surrounds the characters and their homes. It’s like an intangible dirtiness that you can’t put your finger on and can’t be gotten rid of, which is pretty symbolic.

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

Definitely one of their best sketches. Being shot in front of audience makes it the most traditionally sitcom. The Nude day sketch was my first intro to the league, much to my shock and confusion. In regards to the man in the scarecrow, I kind of wished he appeared in Apocalypse, inside scarecrow in the background of Jeremy's garden, just to give Mark something to do in the opening.

[@WeeLin]

That's a good point - there was no Mark in the opening of Apocalypse (but we ended up with two Reeces!) Maybe if he'd been chased by Tubbs outside, then heard the scarecrow shouting for help and pulled off the hood to see Mr Ward, then Papa Laz could have scared him off the cliff. Or something like that! Shock and confusion - that's Nude Day alright! I think the Dentons worked really well because it started as more of a normal, awkward sitcom, but gradually got more scary and ridiculous. They were my favourite part of the Anniversary Specials too.

[@luckyystrikerr]

Just finished watching all of League of Gentlemen for the first time, so glad you put this out this week! Mark as Val is so simultaneously hilarious and unsettling, I think it's one of his best performances in the show.

[@WeeLin]

Mark was amazing as Aunty Val! I love the awkward smiling, and all the fearful little cringes whenever Benjamin does something that's about to upset Harvey. I love how seriously she seems to take things - the bit where she plays the cello at the funeral is probably one of my favourite Val moments. I'm also glad that Mark didn't use a high or "girly" voice for the character, as the deep, dulcet tones are just perfect.

Also, I have a vague memory of people talking about someone who was a guest on This Morning maybe 10-15 years ago or some such, who drunk their pee and genuinely believed it was great for their health. They were so pale! no wonder frankly. I also remember there was someone on the 90s show The Big Breakfast, who ate both cat and dog food regularly and they looked extremely pale too. I almost wonder if it would be allowed to have such people on TV, chat shows etc., these days, or if it'd be viewed as cheap/distasteful 'entertainment'. Dear.

Usually if the gents love something enough to reference it, it'll come up over and over again (Wicker Man, Monkey's Paw and The Exorcist come to mind).

Hey Lin, love the Local Histories. What's your opinion on series three? I am watching it at the moment and I have mixed feelings about it, not really sure that I fancy it like previous two. It's a bit off.

[@WeeLin]

Good question! I can absolutely see why there were mixed opinions on series 3. I was initially okay with the single character/group focus, probably because they started with Pauline who was one of my favourites. But I remember feeling that if the episode was about a character you didn't enjoy then you were stuck with them for nearly half an hour (also I wasn't a huge fan of most of the new characters, apart from the doctor from the first episode and the Welsh pathologist from the second). Having said that, I appreciate the storytelling in series 3 a lot more than I used to, and I think it was quite bold of them to ditch the popular sketches, catchphrases and laugh track to try something new. I talk a bit more about the changes between series 2 and 3 in my Tubbs and Edward video if you're interested? But of course, we were missing the Dentons in series 3, which was a real shame, even if they did make up for it in the Anniversary Specials.
