Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith on friendship, TV and saying goodbye to Inside No. 9
As Inside No. 9 comes to an end after nine series of constant innovation and brilliance, its creators spoke to us about their nine lives in comedy.
Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
It's enough to say this is one of the pair's more darkly dramatic pieces. There's very little comic relief to relieve the ratcheting tension - an absurdly out-of-place reference to a certain national treasure notwithstanding - which will have you guessing till the end, certain only that this pressurised encounter is not likely to end well.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
The Trolley Problem ending is one of the most disturbing yet.
David Craig, Radio Times, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
Up there with Inside No. 9's best two handers, The Trolley Problem is an atmospheric, moody and very dark psychological thriller. Played admirably straight by both actors, it's potentially the most beautifully shot episode of the entire series.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 15th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
Inside No. 9, the series of half-hour playlets created by the demonically inventive Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, is ending after a ten-year run.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 9th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
The end is in sight for this delightful, twisted creation.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 8th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
Only a tiny bit weirder than your average night on the Tube.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 8th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
A five-star train ride into the macabre.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 8th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
An alternately playful and chilling parable on the perils of authoritarianism, Boo To A Goose is one of the strongest ensemble pieces Inside No. 9 has accomplished.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 8th May 2024Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review
It's the end of an era and Inside No. 9 is going out all guns blazing.
