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.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith on Series 6

"It's amazing that they've kept recommissioning it. I mean, I think that it's obviously to do with the fact that it resets and each week's a new thing. It might not have gone as far as if we'd have been telling one story."
