Inside No. 9 Series 7 Episode 6 review: Wise Owl

Inside No. 9 series finale is a troubling tale soaked in the worst kind of nostalgia: the horror of 1970s public information videos.

Inside No. 9 - 7.6 review: Wise Owl

It's potentially the most harrowing episode of the entire series, and yet somehow manages to end on an uplifting note.

TV preview: Inside No. 9, Wise Owl, BBC Two

All I can suggest is that whatever you think of the series so far you should watch this episode. Though it probably means you'll be sleeping with the light on tonight.

Radio Times review

Penned by seasoned playwright Shelagh Stephenson, this comedy series pits Anna (Haydn Gwynne) and Jim (Blackadder star Tim McInnerny) against a succession of wearisome and tactless guests as they take up the couple's offer, made to all and sundry, of a quiet weekend at their rural home.

Unfortunately, most of those who take them at their word are the ones they never in a million years dreamt would turn up. And guests, like fish, tend to stink after three days. This week it's the turn of uncompromising elderly couple Joan (Patricia Hodge) and Colin (Ron Cook), who love their bagpipe music, to go rancid on them.
