Inside No 9: The Stakeout, review

A bloody good end to another brilliant series.

Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 6 review: The Stakeout

There are limits. Whatever Time Lord technology Inside No. 9 uses to pack its 30-minute episodes fuller than a foie gras goose, there isn't always room for everything.

Inside No. 9 puts a twist on the police procedural

It feels strange now to think that the first series of Inside No. 9 included one episode without Shearsmith among the cast and another without Pemberton because they were worried that viewers might get sick of the sight of them. Five series in and fans do really seem to watch the show for them, rather than for whoever the guest stars of the week might be, and their longstanding chemistry is put to good use in this two-hander episode.

Oh bloody hell. It's the final episode of the fifth series of Inside No. 9. And I'm probably not the only person who thinks that this is the best series yet.

Inside No. 9, Thinking Out Loud, review

An unusually clumsy effort from TV's most inventive duo.

Inside No. 9 review: Thinking Out Loud

Inside No. 9 gets bolder and more slippery by the week.

Review: 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.

The Referee's a W***er review

That wonderfully distinctive ability to constantly and consistently raise their creative game shows no signs of flagging five series in.

Dodo's Words, 2nd March 2020

TV 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.

Review: Inside No. 9 conjures up an elaborate treat

In what has so far been a very experimental series of Inside No. 9 (Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have said themselves that they think it's their most varied series to date), this fourth episode, "Misdirection", is the first one that perhaps wouldn't feel out of place in an earlier series of the show.
