Inside No 9: Tempting Fate preview
After their rather in-jokey satire on TV awards last week (albeit with a twist in the tale), "Tempting Fate" is a return to what this brilliant anthology does so well: mixing underplayed black humour with a compelling tale. Season 4 has been a special triumph even by Inside No 9's normal high standards, and it bows out with a bang.

And The Winner Is ... is simply a good joke, simply told. Yes, there are darker episodes. Yes, there are ones that are more obviously fiendishly clever. But this may well be the one you keep returning to, re-watching for the sheer hell of it. 'Can't wait to see what you do next,' says Woolgar's reviewer at one point.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 31st January 2018Review: Inside No. 9 - And The Winner Is...
And the Winner is... wasn't the best episode of Inside No. 9, and easily the worst of this excellent fourth series, but there were still amusing lines and a twist ending that somehow managed to eluded me.
Dan's Media Digest, 31st January 2018Review: Inside No. 9 - And The Winner Is...
Despite the high regard that many hold it in, Inside No. 9 remains to be something of an underrated gem on our screens.

Inside No 9 has been nominated for enough awards in its time - scooping one only yesterday - which may explain how Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's minds came to be drawn to what happens in the jury rooms where such things are decided.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: a sly skewering of the TV industry
Screen stories about juries often thrive on tension and suspense. But Inside No 9's latest episode shuns nail-biting matters of life and death in favour of a more shallow enterprise.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: rare weak point in fantastic series
As mentioned, Inside No 9 is an anthology series which means that we should expect the odd miss to go with every hit. And the Winner Is... was more of a misjudgement than a series-ending catastrophe.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 5 - And the Winner Is...
While it was well acted, it lacked something that makes the episode truly stand out. It is a good episode in its own right, but among the rest of the brilliant Series 4 it felt a bit down.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9 series 4 episode 5 review
Inside No. 9 does well-observed industry satire in its latest episode.
