Preview: Inside No 9 - The Bill
In some ways, maybe because of the mundane contemporary setting, this feels like quite a low-key opener for the series proper. But despite the ordinary surroundings The Bill pings off in all sorts of extraordinary directions when you least expect it. But of course I'm not going to say which directions here. You'll just have to watch.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st February 2017Preview - Inside No. 9: The Bill
Following on from The Devil of Christmas, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's series of dark comic one-off stories return.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 21st February 2017First in a new series of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's merrily macabre anthology, although the recent Christmas special counts as one of this run's six, so it's really episode two. It's a chamber piece about four businessmen - including Philip Glenister and Jason Watkins, AKA That Bloke Who Pops Up In Everything - bickering over who gets to pay the bill in a restaurant. Tensions rise, secrets bubble to the surface and it all goes rather badly. A tight, gloriously stressful half-hour.
