The League of Gentlemen Season 2 Episode 4 Death in Royston Vasey Reaction

[@1989stoneroses]

the mayor is played by an old comedian called roy chubby brown, real name royston vasey!

[@SaintDomingo1]

The mayor is played by Roy Chubby Brown whose real name is Royston Vasey - the name of the town.

[@SaintDomingo1]

@1984 is now. I understand why people don't like him, but I adored him. I mean I proper loved him. I'm not into all that racist old school comedy shit but Chubby was never really like that. He was vulgar. Not very PC. But as a youngster, he made me and my brother piss ourselves. He has some brilliant material. Vulgar. But brilliant.

[@81Mace81]

@1984 is now. Agreed

[@SaintDomingo1]

@1984 is now. Agree on Bernard Manning. He went too far though. I do agree also with things having to be clever and have a point. But with Chubby, it was proper stupid vulgarity, and it was glorious. I will always have a lot of love for Chubby Brown. At one time, he was easily the biggest comedian in the UK.

[@JohnKielyreplicant]

These guys are fantastic actors and cemented themselves on British tv after this show

[@PantheonLincoln]

@ 2:19 ‐ the "Spastics" refers to a UK charity once known as "The Spastics Society" who focus mainly on helping people with cerebral palsy. They changed the name in 1994 to "Scope"

[@1989stoneroses]

consignia and scope… it’s the post office and the spastic society!

[@frglee]

The mayor of Royston Vasey is played by famous sweary comedian Roy Chubby Brown, whose birth name is...Royston Vasey! This comedian has not been on tv that much because his act has always been considered too offensive, even for British tv, but he is very well known as a stand-up comedian and has recorded lots of videos.

[@PerryCJamesUK]

I have the box set and I didn't realise that was him 🙂

[@vincentconnolly5499]

The best thing about this episode is Roy Chubby Browns (Royston Vasey) cameo as the mayor, whilst not a huge fan of his stand up, his cameo in a show that used his real name as the name of the town is great.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Jeff Tipps: 💨 “One nil” 😂😂😂 The Great British Dystopia. Magnificent. #TLOG

[@DaveBeatz]

the dog scene was one of the funniest things id seen on tv when it first aired.

[@lordcharfield4529]

Mayor, played by the great Roy Chubby Brown (real name Royston Vasey) doing just what we expected him to do 😆

[@sijohnson5632]

Loving it that you love League of Gentlemen. I've always thought of it as comedy that's uniquely British. S1 E4 has some of the most memorable and hillarious scenes for me. I laughed so hard I still ached the next day. All the best to you.

[@jamesharland5137]

Tubbs is pops ...theres only three guys its insane

[@chrisspere4836]

For just three actors the amount of characters is quite amazing, and they are all so different from each other.

[@garyproffitt5941]

You are obviously the lunacy local shop and laugh a minute with The League of Gentle 'thing' 😂🤣👍

[@emuman09]

Oh man that orange juice bit. I forgot about that I'm dying 😅

[@danieleyre8913]

I remember watching this when it was new. And thinking: That mayor looks a lot like Roy chubby Brown.

[@Stidean]

Dude, you gotta listen to the commentary. It's the four of them explaining the origins of ALL this crazy shit 🤣🤣🤣 it's like watching a whole new show. It's hilarious.

[@607462]

pop is played by the same guy that plays pauline

[@BaronVonGreenback1882]

And Tubbs and many many more

[@Bashimillar]

Pops is apparently based on one of Steve's old landlords

[@chrisbfreelance]

Yes who would only speak to Steve, and nobody else who lived there.

[@olatron]

I think it was Papa Laz who was based on the landlord. 'this is just a saga now' came from him.

[@gazthreedob]

The Special Mark is the the Kitemark or British Safety Mark. It's a standards thing

[@davidcooks5265]

I think chubby still with us, he's been on tour😜

[@sexymuthafunka8240]

I can't believe no one has mentioned that the mayor is played by Raymond Vasey who's real name is actually The League of Chubby Brown!

[@dannythedoodle]

😄

[@darrellpowell6042]

Just a crazy crazy show. Just as funny as it was when it was aired. The badly spoken line" Has anybody got a bottle of orange juice " was used by so many people in pubs and shops for a few days / weeks after this episode.

[@carterlink]

I can’t believe you edited the bush! I was looking forward to that.

[@harrynelson9203]

[@keegs4369]

Are you aware all the main characters are played by the same three actors?🤔

[@soulfoodie1]

Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith - three of the finest actors of their generation..And they wrote the show with 4th member Jeremy Dyson. The level of talent all four have shown across their careers

[@Lezzyboy87]

It's also worth checking out inside number 9 and pyschoville

[@VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

YESSS! Another one!

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

The nudity scene in this episode was so funny! The scene with Pam Doove is one of my favourite bits too!

[@ajivins1]

The T.A. are the Territorial Army, National Guard to you.

[@Whytesnake77]

The Christmas Special is the best work they did!

[@chrisbfreelance]

The bear was meant to be her deceased child's, the special mark just being the lable to say what age group it is safe for etc.

[@TheNosnets]

usually a CE mark or a fire safety tag for donations.

[@AlanJohn]

React to Fonejacker. Great British comedy.

[@lucywillis4535]

Scuse meeee? Have annyee body got any bokkle orrrrrraaaaannngggee duce????

[@deannawinsletthughes5958]

In our house when you want to move around someone we say “scooze beef”. My son says it and he has no idea what it means bec he’s never seen the show. It’s bec I say it all the time and it made everyone laugh so they all do it too.

[@MattWilliams482]

@@deannawinsletthughes5958 I'm glad someone else says this because we say it all the time in our house. Excuud beef!

[@nigelth]

Hi, I do love your reviews, I’ve been a fan of yours for a while. I do so wish I lived in Royston Vasey. Keep it up! Nx

[@ajivins1]

There's nothing for you here!

[@adamdenby1282]

Death by pens that sounds a bad way to go

[@richarddimeck4578]

[@XdjdaleyX]

Funny story.. the mayor is a comedian Roy 'chubby' brown. Is real name is Royston Vasey which is the name of the town in the show.

[@esinach]

Where's the rest of series 2?

[@intergalactic99]

David has just gone weird from spending time not local. Tubbs and Edward are just local that's what's wrong with them lol

[@nearsightedfromthefarside6534]
