Inside No. 9 review

The League Of Gentlemen are comedy's Rolling Stones. They'll still be doing reunions in their 80s.

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's show is still morbidly entertaining.

It certainly floats my boat.

Inside No. 9: Merrily Merrily review

New series of Inside No. 9 often kick off on a lightish tone, a gentle palate-cleanser for knottier or more chilling plots further down the line. But Merrily, Merrily strikes a melancholic note as three old university pals reunite after 30-odd years for a nostalgic trip on an eerily empty lake.

"Merrily, Merrily" lacked Pemberton and Shearsmith's usual emotional punch.

Inside No. 9 7.1 review: Merrily, Merrily

And we're back! Series seven of the UKs most original TV show returns with an uneven episode that nonetheless feels like we're reconnecting with an old friend, perhaps more than any other instalment.

Inside No. 9 review

It didn't disappoint. Well OK, the ending did a smidgin because I'd guessed the twist, but as a metaphor for Mark Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, who became a trio after meeting as students at Bretton Hall college in Yorkshire, it was exquisite.

Carol Midgley, The Times, 20th April 2022

Inside No. 9 is a new crown jewel of comedy

Are Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith the most inventive writers working in British TV at the moment? Probably. In fact, they may be the most inventive working anywhere in the world.

Claire Cartmill, Northern Ireland News Letter, 19th April 2022

Why the stars are desperate to step Inside No. 9

After seven series you'd think Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton would be running out of ideas, but their imaginations and collaborative powers are still as productive as ever.
