Royston Vasey is a small fictional town set in the north of England. It is the setting of the BBC radio and television comedy series The League of Gentlemen.
Town
The town has a sign which ominously declares "Welcome to Royston Vasey. You'll never leave", apparently a play on the former slogan for Gloucester that was dropped after the Fred West scandal. The first building the visitor comes across is the "local shop", ironically located on a lonely hillside moor. The town itself is some way away from the local shop, but can be accessed by a small hill track and a new railway line.
Characters
See also List of characters in The League of Gentlemen
The town has many inhabitants:
- Edward and his sister Tubbs, who own the local shop, an odd little building that stands on its own in a field close to the town sign.
- Hilary Briss (a play on Bris?) the butcher
- Pauline the restart officer
- Dr Chinnery the cursed Veterinary surgeon
- Barbara the transsexual taxi driver
- Dr Seuss, the local GP
Facts
- Royston Vasey is the real name of comedian Roy 'Chubby' Brown, who played the part of the town's Mayor in a cameo appearance.
- The town of Royston has nothing to do with Royston Vasey
- The filming of the television series took place in the Derbyshire town of Hadfield
