Comedy Of The Year: Inside No. 9

Inside No. 9. Image shows from L to R: Viktor (Reece Shearsmith), Hugo (Steve Pemberton), Natasha (Emilia Fox). Copyright: BBC

Shane Allen, Controller of Comedy Commissioning at the BBC, comments: "British comedy is in robust health with the breadth and excellence of these worthy winners. Inside No. 9 is the most inventive and prolific comedy being made in the world right now and it's terrific for Reece and Steve to get recognised for the sheer quality of what they are able to create and perform. It's firmly cemented itself as a contemporary classic and getting the double two years running is a great honour, thanks to all the comedy fans."
