TV: Inside No. 9 - Love's Great Adventure, BBC Two

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton don't make it easy for critics do they? Or maybe they do.

Inside No. 9: Love's Great Adventure review

Every episode of Inside No. 9 has a different style, and for "Love's Great Adventure", Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have gone full kitchen-sink drama.

Inside No 9: Love's Great Adventure, review

A kitchen-sink drama that's up there with the series' finest episodes.

TV review: Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 2

Last week's Inside No. 9 was the first I hadn't particularly enjoyed, the plot was a little contrived and the humour crass, and simply because there's so many other series on right now I hadn't planned to review it again quite so soon. But due to the nature of the episode and just how much I loved it I found myself with no choice, especially as it contained such a (very, very pleasant) surprise.

Inside No. 9 & the sick, twisted history of Psychoville

Following this week's crossover episode, Ed Power remembers Psychoville, the Grand Guignol comedy-horror series that gave us Inside No. 9.

Ed Power, The Telegraph, 11th February 2020

Another blackly comic, entirely unpredictable half hour in the company of Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and the number nine. Putting a macabre spin on the housing crisis, in Death Be Not Proud, the only home Beattie and Sam (Jenna Coleman and Kadiff Kirwan) can afford comes with a sinister catch.

Inside No 9, Death Be Not Proud review

When did you twig? Was it the blender? The ping-pong ball eyes?
