Those of you who think you’ve got Inside No. 9 locked down are in for a bit of a surprise as the series reaches the midway point.
There might be a simpler way to avoid the situation where your fans are parroting catchphrases at you than simply doing away with dialogue altogether, but Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have never exactly done things the easy way.
Doctor Who stars Alex Kingston and Noel Clarke have been cast in the lead roles alongside The League of Gentlemen‘s Reece Shearsmith in Chasing Shadows, a new ITV crime drama.
Likely to be smuggled your way under a blaze of pretty much no publicity whatsoever, this dark delight from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith is BBC Two’s new modern version of anthology tales such as Tales Of The Unexpected and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But to sell it as merely some kind of unimaginative remake would be to sell it short.
ITV has announced the commission of The Widower, a new factual drama about the crimes of convicted murderer, Malcolm Webster.
Reece Shearsmith has described Mark Gatiss’s upcoming Doctor Who biopic, An Adventure in Space and Time, as “a lovingly rendered thing”.
Olivia Colman, Julia Davis and Sharon Horgan will star in a new half-hour Channel 4 comedy pilot from Peep Show creators Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong.
Last time, we were discussing the logic and challenge of producing a sitcom that has more sit than com. In this, the final episode of Psychoville’s second series, that trend continues.
When is a sitcom not a sitcom? When the Venn diagram of situation to comedy is balanced heavily in favour of the non-funny bits? This certainly seems to be the case with Psychoville as it nears the end of its second series.
Nobody’s safe. Anyone can die. There is no ‘main’ cast. And nobody is who they first appear to be.
