Inside No. 9, Thinking Out Loud, review
An unusually clumsy effort from TV's most inventive duo.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 2nd March 2020Inside No. 9 review: Thinking Out Loud
Inside No. 9 gets bolder and more slippery by the week.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 2nd March 2020Review: Inside No. 9, Thinking Out Loud
As we approach the end of Inside No. 9's long-awaited fifth series, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have given us another gripping half-hour in Thinking Out Loud.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 2nd March 2020TV preview: Inside No. 9 - Thinking Out Loud, BBC Two
It's another stylistic curveball for the fifth episode in the fifth series of Inside No. 9. I wondered if creators/stars Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton could sustain their high standard in this run, but if anything they have surpassed it.
