Inside No. 9 series 7 episode 5 review: A Random Act Of Kindness

Love the BBC as we do for being the home of Inside No. 9, scripts as ingenious as A Random Act Of Kindness deserve more investment.

Inside No. 9 - 7.4 review: Kid|Nap

The great thing about an anthology show like Inside No. 9 is you can have a misfire one week, and then follow it up with a great episode without missing a beat. "Kid|Nap" is a return to form of sorts, with strong performances across the board, and some extraordinarily suspenseful moments.

Inside No. 9 7.3 review: Nine Lives Kat

When an episode of Inside No. 9 goes wrong it tends to be for one of two reasons, either the story itself was uninteresting, with an obvious twist, or the writers tried to do too much with their limited running time. "Nine Lives Kat" is most definitely a case of the latter - it's a little too ambitious for it's own good but I'd still rather have an experimental failure than a plodding safe bet. Seven seasons in, Shearsmith and Pemberton are still playing around with the format and audience expectations, which in itself is reassuring.

Inside No. 9, Nine Lives Kat, review: too clever by half

The latest episode of the BBC's anthology struggled for pace and stuck in far too many competing twists and turns.

Inside No. 9 Series 7 Episode 3 review: Nine Lives Kat

Sophie Okonedo guest stars in a cliché-riddled episode of Inside No. 9 filled with generic characters and terrible dialogue.

Inside No. 9, Series 7, Episode 2, Mr. King

Before it takes a week's break, this week's Inside No. 9 leaves you with a potentially troubled night of warped dreams and fearful thoughts. Because make no mistake, Episode 2 of Series 7, entitled "Mr. King" is a truly disturbing offering from the dark comedy masters, and an excellent piece of misdirection.

Inside No. 9 7.2 review: Mr King

The episode raises numerous questions as it goes along, leading you down several garden paths at once, before pulling the rug out from under you.
