Inside No. 9 review: 'Diddle Diddle Dumpling'
That Inside No. 9 has not even managed a single BAFTA nomination yet alone an award for work of this quality and strength is a travesty.
Dodo's Words, 20th March 2017TV humour is lewd, lavatorial & lacking any form of wit
The problem, however, is bigger than just one show. For the abject and high-profile failure of The Nightly Show raises a disturbing question. What has happened to British comedy? The sheer unfunniness of much of it is beyond depressing.
Christopher Hart, Daily Mail, 18th March 2017Inside No. 9 Season 3 Episode 5 review
Blending elements of ignored classic Roger & Val Have Just Got In with Shearsmith's own short story Dog, and giving an ending that's either dark or very dark, depending on your tastes (students of writing, take note of how much can be said without being explicit), Inside No. 9 once again burrows into the back chambers of your mind, and stays there for days afterward.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 16th March 2017Inside No. 9 - Diddle Diddle Dumpling review
The latest No. 9 from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton is a return to darker themes, exploring an uneasy tale of mystery and obsession.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 15th March 2017Preview - Inside No. 9: Diddle Diddle Dumpling
Every series of Inside No. 9 appears to have an episode set in suburbia. This time around, the family living at No. 9 sees one of its residents going slowly insane.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 14th March 2017The devilishly smart, ever-dark anthology series reaches the penultimate episode of its latest run. David (Reece Shearsmith) is unemployed, and wife Louise (Keeley Hawes) is keen for him to get back to work, presumably not only for his own good, but also to pay for their big suburban house. But David has other plans, namely becoming dangerously obsessed with the provenance of a mysterious shoe. Not the strongest episode of the series, but excellent nonetheless.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 14th March 2017Inside No. 9 review: Diddle Diddle Dumpling
The latest Inside No. 9 is a dark tale of obsession guest-starring Keeley Hawes.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 14th March 2017Inside No 9 review: madness and tragedy from a shoe
There was clearly something off about this polished, brightly-lit vision of domestic bliss. And so it proved.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 14th March 2017Preview: Inside No 9 - Diddle Diddle Dumpling, BBC2
A couple's world is changed forever by a seemingly chance find in a local street in the penultimate film of the series.
