Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 31st May 2021Inside No 9: Hurry Up And Wait review
This week's episode of Inside No 9 hit that sweet spot between spookiness and humour that Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are so good at finding. And a large part of that is down to the very game guest stars, playing against type.

Lauren O'Neill, BBC, 31st May 2021TV preview: Inside No. 9, Lip Service, BBC Two
One of the many takeaways from this week's episode, Lip Service, is that it's so different to the last two episodes in the current series of Inside No 9.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 24th May 2021Inside No. 9: Lip Service review

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th May 2021Inside No. 9 series 6 episode 3 review: Lip Service
Do not disturb? Too late. Fleabag's Sian Clifford joins Inside No. 9 for a slippery episode that repeatedly sheds its skin. Spoilers.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 24th May 2021Inside No. 9 review
Lip Service continues a run of classic episodes.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 24th May 2021Inside No 9, episode 3, review
Brimming with bent coppers, this gripping episode satirised corruption and the deep state. If only Andrew Scott's Hot Priest had showed up.
