New ones on bbc2 next week.
I have just watched Series One, Episode One!
episode 2 is even better, for me
I never got around to watching it (despite absolutely loving League of Gentlemen) as my wife can’t stand that sort of comedy
Honestly, Inside No. 9 is not "that" sort of comedy. The only thing the episodes have in common is that they have nothing in common. There are dark episodes sure, but they run the gamut of comedy and some aren't comedy at all. Some are daft, some are poignant, some are... well, just watch it.
@cougar - I know it isn’t the same as League of Gentlemen, but it is 2/3rds of the same writing team and I like their irreverent style.
Oh, sure. I was meaning in terms of content. Every episode is standalone (almost?) It's not like LoG, there is no "that sort of comedy" here unless wrong-footing the audience is a theme. One of the episodes in I think the first series is essentially slapstick. Another, deeply sad. I thought Sardines was a bit crap personally, it didn't quite land for me, but that's OK because there will be another one along shortly.
I would never sit my partner down in front of League of Gentleman, I know she'd hate it. She'd have nightmares about Papa Lazaru for weeks. Inside No. 9 on the other hand, I wouldn't do it blind (at times it's 'worse' than LoG) but carefully curated episodes absolutely.
PSA theres a live stage show next year

I set a reminder on my phone for tickets but still missed it
queue appears to be about 2 hrs atm!
Well that was different.
Makes you think.
It was great full line up of good actors too.
Just seen Series one, episode 3 – Tom and Gerri.
Wow, so dark – it put me right off my lunch.

Try that for the next level
A group of seemingly unrelated strangers all receive a mysterious note stating "I know what you did", and it sends their lives into a downward spiral. They include a birthing coach nurse who believes her practice doll is a real baby; an alcoholic, one-handed clown; a young man obsessed with serial killers; a telekinetic dwarf; and a miserly old man with the world's biggest Beanie Baby collection.
Yeah, I am planning on catching up with Psychoville once I have completed all of Inside Number Nine.
Just rewatched "Once Removed" from Series 4.
Brilliant.
Is there anywhere streaming Psychoville?
Season 9 episode 1 down. I appreciate that this is not uncommon for Inside No. 9, but I did not see that coming.
I spent the entire episode going "oh, who is that?" over carrier bag man (Harold?) and had to wait for the end credits to discover it was "tonight Matthew, I'm going to be..." Kelly.
I won’t forget the drag queen’s name anytime soon
I nearly choked on my drink (AND NOTHING ELSE)
: Spoiler:
Talking of Matthew Kelly’s character, i just realised we didn't really seem him during/after the end event...he didn't put the mask on nor looked like he was succumbing and looks like he was still sat there at the end (just a fleeting shot from behind of him still aboard). [/spoiler]
Bloody hell!
Clever.
Absolute genius
I am miles and miles behind, but I have just seen Series 2, Episode 2 (12 Days of Christine with Sheridan Smith and 'Betty' from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em). Never in my life have I got so close to switching a programme off because it was such uncomfortable viewing. So very well written, as always, but a very difficult watch.
Yeah. At times it can be very close to home and unnerving. 12 days of Christine has to be one of the best written pieces of TV there is.
another clever one this week, just watched it tonight.
It's the escape room this week isn't it?
It’s the escape room this week isn’t it?
yes mate.
Yes it was very good again.
Series two, episode six (séance time) – as always, blindingly clever. I really thought I had guessed where this one was going (ie, it being a set-up to scare Hives – the TV series compare).
Fantastic!
