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.

Review - Inside No. 9: Diddle Diddle Dumpling

It's impressive how Inside

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.

Inside No.9 season 3 episode 4 review: Empty Orchestra

It's a half hour with significantly more emotional heft, having on its playlist such old classics as betrayal, regret and unrequited love.

Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 8th March 2017

TV Review: Inside No. 9 - Empty Orchestra

Taking us inside a comparatively more pleasant No. 9, this latest tale from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton is fairly enjoyable, but lacks the high dramatic stakes of previous episodes.
