A short few years ago, probably longer than that, there was a seemingly sweet British television series on comedy central. The setting; a small European village chalk full of loony characters, specifically an old couple who either owned the only inn in town or rented out the spare rooms. The hook was that people would visit; check in, and then desperately want to leave this place.

 It's worth mentioning that it was a gross out comedy.

Some events that occurred during the series were a mal-partitioning veterinarian; with and incident involving a pet turtle and an air hose.

A petting zoo.

And I think the series finished up with the excavation of an occult artifact the turned out to be only a sadist's practical joke.

I only ever watched this show in passing so I can't remember the title, I cant even find a list of British comedies that have aired on comedy central. I've grown a bit sentimental of it these past few weeks and would love to know if you could help me.
thanks.
   

it was a pretty bizarre comedy, thats for sure, also keep any eye out in your local video shop. they made a feature length movie too (The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse).

and oh yeah, Netflix has the entire series on 'instant view' Ive been watching it through my xbox i never saw past the first season.   I'm really excited.   

Sorry about the lateness, but I though Roberto may like to know that their new series, "Psychoville", just finished airing on BBC.

Some think it's even better than "The League...", not me, not compared to the first season of that, at least, but it's still pretty good dark humour, and with a pretty disquieting Dawn French to boot
