Inside No. 9: 'The Bill' explores toxic masculinity
It's a spare, effecting and manipulative half hour that takes as long as possible before it lays all the cards on the table.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 21st February 2017Pemberton and Shearmith shine Inside No.9
If Inside No.9 has somehow passed you by you need to give it a go. We live in a bland time for TV comedy and three series in this remains a gold standard and a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to see what the duo have in store in the four remaining episodes and we already know there's a fourth series for 2018!
Luke, The Custard TV, 21st February 2017Inside No 9 review
Inside No 9 is an underrated retro treat, a throwback to the good old Seventies and their one-off TV plays. This was a devilish confection with a haunting aftertaste. Don't have nightmares. And, no, I didn't have a starter.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 21st February 2017Inside No. 9: Glenister and Watkins were brilliant
Jason Watkins and Philip Glenister became the latest big names to join Shearsmith and Pemberton's already impressive list of co-stars - and I sincerely hope they refused a fee. No one should be paid for having this much fun.

Anneka Honeyball, The National Student, 21st February 2017Inside No. 9 review
There have been episodes with greater atmosphere, invention or ideas. But as a 30-minute exercise in darkly comic suspense, this did the trick.

As the darkly funny anthology series returns, creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith explain why comedy and horror is a marriage made in hell.
Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 20th February 2017Preview: Inside No. 9 'The Bill'
Jason Watkins puts in a great performance as penny-pinching Kevin, whose line delivery and facial expressions generate a lot of the episodes's laughs.
