What is Royston Vasey?

Some say that it doesn't exist...

  • That it's a fictional north country community invented for The League of Gentlemen, a comedy series first heard on BBC Radio 4 as On The Town with the League of Gentlemen in 1998.
  • That this radio programme won a Sony award for comedy.
  • That it was then reincarnated and expanded as a television series shown on BBC 2 television in the UK in January 1999 and repeated in November 1999.
  • That it was filmed mostly on location in Hadfield, a village near Glossop in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England.
  • That this television series won the Golden Rose comedy award at the Montreux Television Festival in April 1999.
  • That the programme won the British Academy Television Award for Comedy in May 2000 (and was nominated for Innovation).
  • That a second television series was shot in Hadfield in September/October 1999 and shown on BBC 2 television in the UK in January and February 2000.
