Forget the cry-laugh: Inside No 9's creators perfected the vomit-laugh with an emetic twist in the season three episode The Riddle of the Sphinx. Pemberton's Cambridge don, after some already-nasty japes where a colleague (Shearsmith) forces him to eat flesh cut from the buttock of a just-murdered student (Alexandra Roach), is told that he is, in fact, her father. He's chewing his dead daughter's arse! Steve, Reece, get help. No, wait: finish season four. Then get help.

British Comedy Guide, 7th April 2017Inside No. 9 Season 3 Episode 6 review
