This week’s episode of Inside No. 9 is the third of the second season, which makes it literally Episode No. 9. It’s probably reaching to read too much into such things, particularly as the programmes were almost certainly recorded out of sequence, but there’s still a pleasing symmetry in that there’s a return to roots … >
People complain about telly not being nearly as good as it used to be. Annoyingly, those sort of people are exactly the type who probably aren’t taking a chance on this anthology programme in the style of Tales of the Unexpected and Comedy Playhouse, which is not only as good as telly used to be, … >
‘La Couchette’ opens up the second season of Inside No. 9, and here you should stop reading if you haven’t seen the episode. A group of disparate characters have been shoved into a confined space, and they are not exactly ideal bedfellows.

The second season of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s Inside No. 9 will begin on BBC Two later this month.

Shearsmith told Chortle: “We have now got a second series of [Inside] No. 9. We’ve got to get … >
Be careful what you wish for. Ever since the first episode of Inside No. 9, the latest comedy series from one half of The League Of Gentlemen, there has been an unholy chorus of voices demanding a return to the darker, more gothic tones that were scattered across Royston Vasey. You know, the early, scary … >
It can be a risky business, actors making up plays about actors. There’s every chance of so-called “civilians” being left cold by all the in-jokes and references to uniquely theatrical devices in the pursuit of a self-pleasuring gag. Thankfully, that doesn’t happen in tonight’s episode, although it could have been a very close call: this … >
