Inside No 9

[Fanny Muchmore]

Another fantastic episode! I *did* have an inkling where it might be going when I saw all the harvest stuff, and knowing how much the guys love The Wicker Man, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of it. Love how creepy it got at the end.

Extra points for having male nudity for a change! (Plus a nice, lingering shot on Reece's lovely pert posterior )

How many people (not me obvs ) will be rewatching the escape room episode to see if they can spot where Steve was talking about when he said 'there's one scene where you can see it isn't me but the producer (I think???) in my wig'.

Today!!! How has it come round so quick. Excited and scared at the same time, I'm not ready.

 

[DrLoomis]

That one was an absolute cracker! It is certainly up there on my top ten I think.

I was just having a look about online about the rest of the series. There are titles and synopsizes for them all except Episode 6. I wonder what they are going to pull out of the bag for the last one. I would really like to see:

Spoiler: My Theory

Steve and Reece playing themselves in the writing room, speaking about previous episodes, and building to the realization that one of them/both of them are slowly going mad because of the darkness of writing the show.

...or they just give us the bloody Bus episode!!

I loved all of the series, but they are all quite dark this time round. The lockdown really seemed to have affected their writing.

Not a complaint, just observation.

Im not finding them dark enough i want the chills and im not getting them

Maybe now they can make my wish come true and bring back Psychoville that show was genius. Don’t get me wrong I think inside no 9 is fantastic but I loved the characters on Psychoville

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

LOVED tonight's episode. Reece was amazing in it!!

 

[Web30]

My fave so the season!

That was brilliant after 2 heavy ones and I think it'll be very rewatchable.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

done a couple of rewatches now and it really stands up

I can understand how a casual viewer might be disappointed, but it was a properly fitting end for the fans tbh

I love that they made it a proper ‘thank you sticking with us for almost a decade’ treat for the ardent fan base.

I don’t think it matters that 95% of the internal references might have whooshed over the head of the casual or occasional viewer; it still had a plot line that didn’t rely on extensive knowledge of previous episodes.

I’ve just remembered Jason Watkins kicking off about being overcharged at the bar

Series 6 on the way ...

 

[Ginnyjo]

Katherine Parkinson was the first person on screen in the first episode too nice touch

 

[kachoochoo]

The moment when the bully teacher was strangling the man and the passengers didn't do anything felt so real that my heart just dropped. It reminded me so much of that recent situation from the US where the marine strangled a man to death on the train in New York and everyone in the subway just watched...

 

[kev1974]

Oh I'd forgotten the podcast guy, oh god it was such a funny episode!

ha ha he was so perfect when he broke out into the ads, so seamless!

not only playing an annoying podcast guy, but playing a crap podcast guy who has to do his own ads

 

[NowIsGood]

If Reece was just an ordinary guy walking down the street it would be a hard no, but something about the intelligence and cleverness of inside no 9 makes him sexy!
However it took a while to get over his gross fishy smelling character on car share

 

[Chunkymunky]

Does anyone else adore this show?
Blows me away each series.

Was so excited to see them revisit old Psychoville characters in the second episode, utterly brilliant!
It’s so creative and unique I think it’s fantastic and there’s such a joy in never knowing what sort of story you’re going to get. Never predictable.

I absolutely LOVE it! Was also a big fan of league of gentleman

When the advert came up at the end to advertise series 1-9 on iPlayer I was convinced something would pop up in there as a massive twist, like a new series or something, but nope. Just an advert.

 

[Sweet Jane]

I enjoyed it and it definitely merits a rewatch. Their absolute best was “the 12 days of Christine” but even the worst episode of No 9 is better than 90% of the
the stuff on TV.

 

[kachoochoo]

well fuck...

loved that one, proper slow burn, fully expecting it to be some kind of elaborate role play sitch but an absolute smack in the face in the last minute

and officious lotus inspector Reece is my new fave
