BBC Two has announced the start date for the third season of Inside No.9.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s critically-acclaimed and award-winning anthology series is back with five new episodes, following last December’s festive special, ‘The Devil Of Christmas’.

Season 3 begins at 10pm on Tuesday 21 February on BBC Two with ‘The Bill’, guest starring Jason Watkins and Philip Glenister.

The official synopsis for the episode reads: “After a tiresome game of badminton a group of friends go for a night out at a local restaurant. They indulge in some tapas and a few drinks, which sounds like a lot of fun – but ultimately somebody has to pay the bill at the end of the night.

“What has started out as a pleasant evening ends with a shocking twist, as an argument about who is going to pick up the bill erupts – and then spirals out of control.”

Guest stars in the new season will include Felicity Kendal, Tamzin Outhwaite, Fiona Shaw, Morgana Robinson, Keeley Hawes and Mat Baynton.

A fourth season of Inside No.9 was commissioned by BBC Two last month.
