Andrew Williams, The Daily Express, 5th April 2015'Inside No. 9' review: 'The 12 Days of Christine'
People complain about telly not being nearly as good as it used to be. Annoyingly, those sort of people are exactly the type who probably aren't taking a chance on this anthology programme in the style of Tales of the Unexpected and Comedy Playhouse, which is not only as good as telly used to be, it's about as good as television can be, full stop.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 3rd April 2015Inside No. 9 - The 12 Days of Christine review
The sheer enjoyment of this instalment was found in the filmmaking tricks used to send viewers tumbling through Christine's chaotic life-story; and the central performance of Sheridan Smith, who was wonderful throughout. One of the show's best, undoubtedly.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 3rd April 2015Inside No. 9 series 2 episode 2 review
This week's instalment of Inside No. 9's six standalone mystery plays took a drastically different turn. The 12 Days Of Christine pays off emotionally beyond the well-crafted spring.
Phoebe-Jane Boyd, Den Of Geek, 3rd April 2015TV review: Inside No. 9, The 12 Days Of Christine
Smart, candid, and lighter on the gags than its predecessor, 12 Days of Christine boasts some truly spooky moments. It's also liable to hollow out your guts like an emotional ice cream scoop, but the fact that the endearing tone of the episode is one of warmth and authenticity is just one of the reasons this series continues to turn out 30-minute masterclasses in television making.
Andrew Dipper, Giggle Beats, 3rd April 2015Inside No 9: the best thing I've seen all year
Bravo to every single person involved in this incredible show.
Julie McDowall, The Herald, 2nd April 2015Inside No. 9, BBC Two, review: 'sadly beautiful'
I haven't been a fan of all of them - often they're too arch for their own good. But last night Inside No. 9 pitched for something deeper - genuine poignancy - and in just half an hour it achieved it.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 2nd April 2015TV Preview: Inside No. 9 - The Twelve Days Of Christine
I can't speak highly enough of this episode. If you've loved the first series and last week's opener you will love this.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st April 2015Why outsiders like John Oliver are taking over US TV
South African Trevor Noah, the newly-announced host of The Daily Show, joins Brits John Oliver and James Corden in the US's coveted late-night slots. Are people from Britain and elsewhere in the world making it big in America?
Esther Breger, The New Statesman, 31st March 2015Inside No. 9 series 2 episode 1 review: La Couchette
A solid start to another run of surprises from Inside No. 9.
