The last instalment of this generally fine series is sadly not its best episode. It's a supernatural tale of a dead hoarder and the council contractors sent to go through his belongings, carrying the slightly trite message: "Be careful what you wish for." Still, it does feature Nigel Planer, no longer a Young One, alas.

Gabriel Tate, The Telegraph, 6th February 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 6: Tempting Fate review
This episode is truly creepy. The atmosphere is genuinely disturbing. Due to the darkness of the surroundings and huge piles of boxes all over the place, it feels really claustrophobic. Although there are episodes set in much smaller spaces, the whole tone of the show makes you feel that you are trapped, in the same way the characters are trapped by the wishes of the hare.
