====Events in the fictional town====
In the first television series of ''The League of Gentlemen'' a construction company called PQ Construction threatens the isolation of Royston Vasey by building a "New Road" near the Local Shop.<ref>{{cite web |title=The League of Gentlemen: Series 1–2.

In the second series Royston Vasey receives visits from both a travelling circus and a group of German exchange students. The town becomes gradually overrun by a deadly nosebleed epidemic which causes a high percentage of the town's residents to experience incessant bleeding and death, usually within 24 hours.<ref>{{cite book|last=Terrace|first=Vincent|title=Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925 Through 2010|year=2011|publisher=McFarland}}</ref> Eventually the epidemic devastates the town, with the [[Ministry of Health (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Health]] running riot in a desperate attempt to stanch the plague. The cause of the nosebleeds can be traced to a substance known only as the "Special Stuff", a highly addictive and mysterious foodstuff served by demonic butcher Hilary [[Briss]], which becomes deadly when cut with sandwich paste. However, the surviving local residents mistakenly accuse Edward and Tubbs of spreading the disease and burn the Local Shop to the ground.

In the third and final series, several of the residents of Royston Vasey are involved in a traffic collision which leaves Lance Longthorne and [[Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen]] dead while Geoff Tipps is facially disfigured. The travelling circus also returns.

In the film ''[[The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse]]'', the town is on the verge of destruction when the League of Gentlemen – [[Jeremy Dyson]], [[Mark Gatiss]], [[Steve Pemberton]], and [[Reece Shearsmith]] – agree to stop writing for Royston Vasey. This causes meteorites to rain from the sky until the entire town is razed to the ground. The destruction of Royston Vasey can only be prevented when all four of the writers are killed, but it transpires that the entire ordeal was conceived by Dyson while unconscious in a hospital.

In the Anniversary Specials, the town of Royston Vasey is facing a threat more terrible than anything it has faced before: boundary changes that will erase the town from the map forever.  The fight to save the community from administrative annihilation comes from unexpected and surprising directions, all of them local, as the crisis reaches its earth-shattering climax.
