Inside No. 9 review: 'Diddle Diddle Dumpling'

That Inside No. 9 has not even managed a single BAFTA nomination yet alone an award for work of this quality and strength is a travesty.

Inside No. 9 Season 3 Episode 5 review

Blending elements of ignored classic Roger & Val Have Just Got In with Shearsmith's own short story Dog, and giving an ending that's either dark or very dark, depending on your tastes (students of writing, take note of how much can be said without being explicit), Inside No. 9 once again burrows into the back chambers of your mind, and stays there for days afterward.

Inside No. 9 - Diddle Diddle Dumpling review

The latest No. 9 from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton is a return to darker themes, exploring an uneasy tale of mystery and obsession.

Preview - Inside No. 9: Diddle Diddle Dumpling

Every series of Inside No. 9 appears to have an episode set in suburbia. This time around, the family living at No. 9 sees one of its residents going slowly insane.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 14th March 2017

The devilishly smart, ever-dark anthology series reaches the penultimate episode of its latest run. David (Reece Shearsmith) is unemployed, and wife Louise (Keeley Hawes) is keen for him to get back to work, presumably not only for his own good, but also to pay for their big suburban house. But David has other plans, namely becoming dangerously obsessed with the provenance of a mysterious shoe. Not the strongest episode of the series, but excellent nonetheless.

Inside No 9 review: madness and tragedy from a shoe

There was clearly something off about this polished, brightly-lit vision of domestic bliss. And so it proved.

Preview: Inside No 9 - Diddle Diddle Dumpling, BBC2

A couple's world is changed forever by a seemingly chance find in a local street in the penultimate film of the series.

Inside No.9 review: series three: 'Empty Orchestra'

'Empty Orchestra' is a very affecting piece. There are moments in it that stay with you and replay inside your head, such is the level of poignancy which builds within it, almost like a piece of music reaching a crescendo.
