The League of Gentlemen is an acquired taste, especially for American viewers not used to British comedy, and to fully appreciate the Christmas special you'll need to have seen the previous seasons. That said you can also watch it as a self contained very dark and bizarre comedy about Christmas in a twisted English town. Regardless of your perspective, the reason why you or anyone really wants to view this disc is Papa Lazarou, one of the darkest characters in the history of dark comedy.
Incredible talent!

I can ply say that I wish there were many, many more episodes. I've seen them all, and loved them from the start. Helps that part of my family comes from a place in the North not unlike Royston Vasey...
IF you're a fan of the program, you'll love the special. Be aware, it is very dark and not at all what you'd expect from a Christmas program.
