British Comedy Guide, 5th July 2024On BBC Two, there's a savage, impish, darkly meta send-off for Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's Inside No. 9: Plodding On, the last-ever episode of the twisty, eerie, inventive anthology.
A throng of former guest stars mill within a satire mainly set in the unlovely loos at the show's wrap party. Cue treachery, sniping, celebrity disgrace (Anne Reid does "toot") and the On The Buses skit they'd previously hoaxed viewers about.
Ten years and 55 episodes of chills, jolts, and inveterate rug-pulling, all achieved on a Beeb comedy shoestring (Tales of the Unbudgeted?), Inside No. 9 has performed a veritable miracle of British television innovation. There's a stage version at Wyndham's theatre in London next year. Until then, bravo!

The episode isn't at all cheapened by its fan service - which is more than some blockbusters can say.
