Reece Shearsmith has teased that a League of Gentlemen reunion may be in the works.

The BBC Two comedy's co-creator tweeted a photo of himself with Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton, hinting that he has been working with the pair.

There might be some news about these people - coming soon. Keep em peeled.

When asked by fans about the extra hand on Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss's shoulder, he joked: "So much genuine bafflement at the extra hand on Marks shoulder in that pic. Like it wasn't deliberate. Come ON people!! My blood pressure!"

The League of Gentlemen ran for three TV series from 1999 to 2002 following the 1997 radio series, and spawned several live shows and the 2005 movie The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse.

Shearsmith and Pemberton have since collaborated on BBC Two's Psychoville series, while they have also reunited for the upcoming comedy Inside No. 9 with Gemma Arterton.

All three have worked together for a number of sketches for CBBC show Horrible Histories.

A new series of The League of Gentlemen has long been rumoured by fans since 2007, with the stars stating last year that they expect the group to "reconvene" in the near future.

The comedians clarified that they never officially "split up" after the show ended, adding that they would happily join with fourth member Jeremy Dyson for a new project.

This was one of my favourite comedies, but I wonder if a new series would live up to the original?

I'd have a disco in my pants if this was to happen.

That disco I mentioned, just might take place:party:

series 3 was kinda terrible

It's one of my favourite shows so I'd love this :amazed:

It didn't work as well as the first 2 but I loved it overall (it had some brilliant moments <3) The episode with the guy who had one arm was a flop though

The final episode wasn't great, I'll grant you that. But there was still some great episodes in that.

Turn Again Geoff Tipps
The Lesbian and The Monkey
The Medusa Touch

All fantastic episodes

The One Armed Man Is King.

That had one of my favourite quotes, which tickles me every time I hear it.

"We've a saying in Keighley, When the shyts been shat"

It's been so long since I watched it I just remember being a bit bored during that one, I've got the boxset so I'm tempted to watch them all again though. 'The Lesbian and The Monkey' and 'The Medusa Touch' were the standouts though :love:

My mum owned a caravan pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and about 10 minutes walk away there was a little white building that just had "LOCAL SHOP" painted on the side in big black letters ... :umm2:. Never risked going in tbh.

:clap1:

it’s not THAT funny and series 3 was absolute garbage

I made the TL watch 2 old eps and she was like :umm2: wtf is this now?

I told her you had to be there and that she had no taste

So now i have to let her watch some Strikeback sh1te before I can watch:oh: Essentially I am going to double strength her g and T and distract her palate with Bombay mix and she will be asleep by the time its on
