A unique and grotesquely funny award-winning sketch comedy show written by and starring Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith. The lives of the inhabitants of Royston Vasey, an isolated and rather odd provincial town, unfold and interweave in darkly comic scenes. Over sixty characters - male and female - are played with astonishing range and detail by the three leads.
