TV: Inside No 9, Hurry Up And Wait, BBC Two
The world of TV criticism is in danger of running out of superlatives when it comes to Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's Inside No 9.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 31st May 2021Inside No 9: Hurry Up And Wait review
This week's episode of Inside No 9 hit that sweet spot between spookiness and humour that Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are so good at finding. And a large part of that is down to the very game guest stars, playing against type.

Line Of Duty's Adrian Dunbar plays himself in a deliberately uncomfortable blend of comedy and true crime drama that plays with Inside No. 9's twist tradition. Spoilers.

Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 24th May 2021Inside No 9, episode 3, review
Brimming with bent coppers, this gripping episode satirised corruption and the deep state. If only Andrew Scott's Hot Priest had showed up.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 24th May 2021The 'Simon Says' scene that almost went too far
Reece Shearsmith jokes that filming one scene in Inside No. 9 series six episode 'Simon Says' left him fighting for his life...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 18th May 2021Review: Inside No 9 takes a look at the power of fans
Rather like Misdirection from last series, Simon Says has an initial twist that regular Inside No. 9 viewers will possibly expect. However, Shearsmith and Pemberton still know how to surprise us, so the story goes on to deliver further twists and turns that will keep even the most seasoned viewers on their toes. The result is a thrilling episode that ranks up there with the show's very best.
