TV: Inside No 9, Wuthering Heist, BBC Two

Last week I was mildly mocked on social media for describing a programme that some people didn;t like the sound of as "eagerly anticipated". I think it is fair, however, to describe the new series of Inside No. 9 as eagerly anticipated without risking a big lawsuit landing in my inbox with a virtual thwack.
