TV review: Inside No. 9 - 'Last Gasp'
An almost Shakespearean exercise in greed, murder and the triumph of innocence, Last Gasp is a buoyant but wickedly funny chapter in Inside No. 9′s omnibus of twisted tales.
Nic Wright, Giggle Beats, 27th February 2014Preview: Inside No 9: The Last Gasp
In the thirty-minute slot it doesn't really go anywhere and it resolves itself a little too simplistically. Not horror, not thriller, just a gently disturbing delve into suburban lives thrown briefly off-kilter.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th February 2014Inside No. 9 Episode 4: 'Last Gasp' review
Reece Shearsmith's absence indicates a lightness of touch and confidence in the pair's storytelling that makes Inside No. 9 one of the undoubted highlights of 2014 so far.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 26th February 2014Inside No. 9 review
The writing in all these diverse episodes showcases two creative talents at the top of their game. The excellent calibre of guest stars, the production showing a fine attention to detail, and a level of perfectionism that is way ahead of anyone else writing dark comedy at the moment.
James Turner, The Digital Fix, 21st February 2014Review: Inside No. 9: Tom & Gerri, BBC Two
After two distinctive episodes which had plenty of laughs alongside the shivers, the third instalment of Inside No. 9, "Tom & Gerri", tiptoes into taut psychological thriller territory, with very few giggles indeed, but an end that may haunt you for days.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th February 2014TV review: Inside No. 9 - Tom and Gerri
The best of the series so far, Tom and Gerri is a multifaceted, poignant tale that packs a weighty amount of value into its short turn, leaving a trail of cleverly-strewn breadcrumbs for those keen to take it again through newly enlightened eyes.
Giggle Beats, 20th February 2014Inside No. 9, 1.3 - 'Tom & Gerri' review
It's funny and creative TV that's justly attracted some fantastic guest stars (even happy to appear in fairly minor roles), each episode made with obvious care, skill, and attention. There's always going to be room for improvement, but for the most part I can't fault Tom & Gerri in any meaningful way.

Marske beach will play a starring role in Bill, a new film based on the playwriter's life.
Krysta Eaves, Teesside Gazette, 19th February 2014Inside No. 9 Episode 3: 'Tom and Gerri' review
With sterling support from Gemma Arterton and Conleth Hill as the most important people in Tom's life, this is a tightly scripted half hour that has much in common with a stage play.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 19th February 2014TV review: Inside No. 9 - 'A Quiet Night In'
Perfectly weighted, and superbly composed; nowhere else will you howl at two men miming bowel movements, and witness such vicious twists of the knife in the same 30 minutes.
