Inside No. 9, 1.2 - 'A Quiet Night In'
The script's farce worked like clockwork, delivering an almost theatrical experience, all building to another delicious twist I didn't see coming. I know it's only February and Inside No. 9's only aired two episodes, but it might just become one of my favourite things this year. Please watch it.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 13th February 2014Preview: Inside No. 9: A Quiet Night In
This week's episode, A Quiet Night In, is a sudden comedic gear change after last week's Sardines. Where that had a malevolent sting constantly throbbing away in the background like a bassline, this is played more for laughs while never ever forgetting to be nasty too.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 12th February 2014Inside No. 9 - Episode 2: 'A Quiet Night In' review
From the clever-clever casting of one of the guest stars to the even cleverer plotting that allows for huge punchlines to sail into view with nary a syllable of set-up, this is the sort of thing that gives one a pleasingly mixed feeling of delight and bitter jealousy.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 12th February 2014Inside No. 9 full of entertaining weirdness
The obvious inspiration was Roald Dahl's Tales Of The Unexpected and it's no mean compliment to say that Inside No. 9 held its own against Dahl's bizarre short stories.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 6th February 2014Review - Inside No. 9: Sardines
It's been a long time since TV embraced the anthology format, but if it creates episodes as classy as these, it could be time for a revival - although it's hard to envisage who else could pull it off as skilfully as these League Of Gentlemen alumni.

The Custard TV, 6th February 2014TV review: Inside No. 9 - 'Sardines'
Subtle and disciplined, laden with biting humour and occasional barbs of unsettling suspense, its cleverness is laid bare in the cold light of post-revelation day.
