ReportSynopsis
The League of Gentlemen is a British comedy television series that premiered on BBC Two in 1999. The show is set in Royston Vasey, a fictional town in Northern England based on Bacup, Lancashire. It follows the lives of dozens of bizarre townspeople, most of whom are played by three of the show's four writers—Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith—who, along with Jeremy Dyson, formed the League of Gentlemen comedy troupe in 1995. The series originally aired for three series from 1999 until 2002 followed by a film in 2005. A three-part revival mini-series was broadcast in December 2017 to celebrate the group's 20th anniversary.

Dr. Chinnery is a veterinarian who's entire gimmick is that he accidentally kills animals under his care. The most cruel example of this is likely in the first episode, where he unknowingly euthanizes the wrong dog.

SEASON 1
S01E01-E03 SAFE
S01E04 NOT SAFE [FULL VISUAL, AUDIO + MENTION]
[6:30-6:43] Chinnery is brought to a small tent to analyse ‘the beast of Royston Vasey’. The policeman (played by Steve Pemberton) lifts some foil off of the body, and Chinnery v* into his mask, then ducks behind the table. I’d recommend skipping the scene if you’re sensitive.
[24:25-24:32] Later, after Dave, Ollie and Phil have finished their performance, Dave says to ollie that he’s leaving Legz Akimbo. When Dave walks off stage, Ollie says ‘excuse me a moment, I think I’m gonna be s*’ and runs off stage.
He does not look nor sound ill so hopefully it shouldn’t be too triggering
S01E05-E06 SAFE
SEASON 2
For the most part it is safe, the nosebleed epidemic *could* be triggering for some, but – rest assured – no one is s* as a result.
S02E01 SAFE
S02E02 SAFE*
Throughout this season Benjamin appears quite unwell when onscreen, but not at any point does he v*.
[14:50-14:57] However, during the Denton’s house rules song (an absolute banger by the way), when Benjamin is taken to the bathroom, he crawls along the floor to the toilet, and hovers his head over the top before he is shoved in by Harvey. He doesn’t make any gestures or expressions but I thought I’d put it here in case it’s triggering for some.
This is a silly detail but if you’re as a big a fan as me and you’ve bought the script book, on page 216 there is a deleted scene involving Benjamin that is rather triggering.
[9:10-9:18] Pauline does spit a rather gratuitous amount of saliva onto a burger, just in case anyone finds that triggering.
S02E03 SAFE
S02E04 NOT SAFE [FULL AUDIO, VISUAL (?) + MENTION]
In the opening scene, Hillary takes Maurice into the woods, when they accost the two figures, Maurice sort of doubles over and coughs, no v* though!
[26:16-26:25] However, after Maurice’s wife mentions ‘compulsory health inspections’ he v*, you see him lean forward with audio, the scene then abruptly cuts to Pop pouring a bowl of macaroni onto his plate. This scene is a bit of a weird one in terms of visual because it’s a match cut, so be wary.
[19:28-19:43] Iris is speaking to Judee and mentions her daughter, Nicola, having bulimia – just something to be mindful of.
S02E05 SAFE*
[10:38-10:45] When the police invade Hillary’s home, they pull a blanket over a mound to reveal a cow, they g* slightly at the smell. It’s sounds more like coughing to me though!
S02E06 SAFE
S02E07 (CHRISTMAS SPECIAL) SAFE*
[25:15-25:20] I believe this episode is mostly safe, however, when Lottie unveils a plate of German breakfast in front of Matthew, he groans squeamishly and sits back but does not v*.
SEASON 3
S03E01 SAFE*
[15:48-15:57] Carlton takes Gina to his home to stay overnight. As she’s walking along the hallway beside him, she gets a sudden pain in her head and tells him she feels nauseous, but does not v*.
Although, if you’re going to watch the deleted scenes, be wary of the scenes with Gina. In one of the takes, when she reaches the top of the stairs, she runs towards a drawer and v*s in it, full visual and audio. It explains why she is wiping her mouth in the scene following the one mentioned above.
S03E02 SAFE* [MENTION]
[12:53-13:38] Gatiss’s monologue in the mortuary does mention v* in relation to seeing bodies in a morgue, it might be slightly triggering.
S03E03 SAFE
S03E04 SAFE*
[21:03-21:07] When the bodies Alvin has hidden begin to squeak, Judith coughs slightly as a result of the smell, I wouldn’t call it a g* but better to be safe than sorry if you’re particularly sensitive!
S03E05-E06 SAFE
SEASON 4 (2017 SPECIAL)
S04E01 SAFE
S04E02 SAFE*
[13:19-13:26] The Denton twins shove a frog into Benjamin’s mouth, he g*s slightly as he tries to resist it.
S04E03 NOT SAFE [VISUAL, AUDIO]
[25:00-25:20] Not technically v* but has the potential to be very triggering. When Val exorcises Benjamin (possessed by Harvey), he flings the curtains open and flops onto the couch. He then proceeds to cough up a toad, the visual is just a mucus covered frog but the audio is quite visceral, so maybe skip this one.
Also, earlier in the episode, after Pop pays Ritchie a visit, he comes out looking rather uncomfortable and ill, but he doesn’t v* so don’t worry.

Though not directly ablist, there is one character who doesn't really know how to interact with disabled people, and talks to them awkwardly. He says things which imply that he thinks they can't have fulfilling and independent lives. He ultimately means well, and is presented as the butt of the joke, but could be jarring if you've had those kinds of interactions before.

There are themes of BDSM throughout S3 (a couple own a hotel which also hosts BDSM events). This is most prominent in S3E4 which centres around a BDSM meet-up event, including an orgy scene and auto-erotic asphyxiation.
