The scarily versatile Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith are back, turning their hands to chaotic door-slamming farce with a Shakespearean flavour. The toying with The Comedy of Errors - Rory Kinnear plays twins who unknowingly both book rooms on a hotel's busy ninth floor - and the iambic pentameter dialogue create a delightfully breathless parlour game of an episode, with the show's trademark wickedness only peeping through via a torrent of smutty wordplay. Top-hole.
