Inside No. 9: Intrigue, unease and emotional intensity
The second series of half-hour stories from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton has been full of unexpected comedy and deep, dark horror, with nods to everything from Witchfinder General to Alan Ayckbourn.

I'll tell you what, if the BBC don't give Inside No. 9 a third series I am going to chain myself to Lord Hall of Birkenhead until he personally intervenes.
Chris Bennion, The Independent, 29th April 2015'Inside No. 9' season 2 episode 6 review: 'Séance Time'
As this season closes, to declare any particular episode of Inside No 9 as a favourite - or best of - is, in truth, a fool's errand. It's equally pointless to define one episode or other as the 'serious' one, the 'funny' one, or the 'scary' one, and the fact that all of these programmes are produced by the BBC comedy department is perhaps misleading at best.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 29th April 2015Inside No 9 review: Nana's Party
The penultimate Inside No. 9 of Series 2 has all of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's distinctive brilliance, balancing comedy and drama in perfect symmetry, beautifully nuanced and meticulously crafted with almost breathtaking command.
Dodo's Words, 29th April 2015Inside No. 9, series 2 review
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have produced another series of their critically acclaimed Inside No. 9, which was, for me, undoubtedly one of the best pieces of television to come out of 2014. And the ingenuity of the plot development and sharpness of the writing have certainly not been diluted.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 28th April 2015Inside No. 9, 2.5 - 'Nana's Party'
Like so many Middle England suburban comedies, it was all about the depths and heartaches lurking beneath apparently happy families, and on that score this episode really worked.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 25th April 2015Inside No. 9, Nana's Party, TV review
League of Gentleman's Reece Shearsmith steals the show in this very clever drama.

Reviews of sitcom W1A and the "Nana's Party" episode of Inside No. 9.
Claudia Connell, Daily Mail, 24th April 2015Inside No. 9 season 2 episode 5 review: 'Nana's Party'
Last week, we spoke about Shearsmith and Pemberton's fascination with the quiet desperation of everyday banality. This episode takes that to the hilt - the hilt of a very big knife, in fact.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 24th April 2015Inside No. 9 series 2 episode 5 review: Nana's Party
What's more horrifying than vampires, psychos, or zombies? Family gatherings, as we saw in this week's Inside No. 9.
