9 things you didn't know about Inside No. 9
From The League of Gentlemen reunion to hidden hares, uncover some surprising facts about Inside No. 9, television's most twisted comedy series.
Lizzie Larkum, BT, 16th May 2022Inside No. 9 7.3 review: Nine Lives Kat
When an episode of Inside No. 9 goes wrong it tends to be for one of two reasons, either the story itself was uninteresting, with an obvious twist, or the writers tried to do too much with their limited running time. "Nine Lives Kat" is most definitely a case of the latter - it's a little too ambitious for it's own good but I'd still rather have an experimental failure than a plodding safe bet. Seven seasons in, Shearsmith and Pemberton are still playing around with the format and audience expectations, which in itself is reassuring.

British Comedy Guide, 3rd May 2022Inside No. 9, Series 7, Episode 2, Mr. King
Before it takes a week's break, this week's Inside No. 9 leaves you with a potentially troubled night of warped dreams and fearful thoughts. Because make no mistake, Episode 2 of Series 7, entitled "Mr. King" is a truly disturbing offering from the dark comedy masters, and an excellent piece of misdirection.
Jack Bottomley, Starburst Magazine, 28th April 2022Inside No. 9 7.2 review: Mr King
The episode raises numerous questions as it goes along, leading you down several garden paths at once, before pulling the rug out from under you.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 28th April 2022TV review, Inside No. 9: Mr King, BBC Two
A few days ago Inside No. 9 co-star/co-creator Reece Shearsmith posted this message on Twitter: "I've read a lot of previews that ruin the up and coming episodes ... they just can't seem to help themselves. So if you want our stories to have maximum effect.. I would say don't read anything in advance." So there you have it from one of the people behind the series. Watch the programme, don't read the advance press.
