TV preview: Inside No 9 - Simon Says, BBC Two
My time in various lockdowns over the past year has certainly not been completely frittered away. I may not have baked any banana bread or mastered a foreign language, but I did something much more fruitful. I watch every episode of Inside No 9 anthology forerunner Tales Of The Unexpected, the old ITV series - now available on Sky Arts - that took its cue from the twisted imagination of Roald Dahl.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th May 2021Inside No 9: Simon Says review
If last week's Inside No 9, mixing heist movie with commedia dell'arte, flaunted Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's inventive creative ambitions, the second episode in this sixth series is a more straightforward example of what they do best.

"I've never been a morning person. Ideally I'd always have a lie-in, but having three children soon knocks that out of you, so on average I'll be up around 7.30."

British Comedy Guide, 12th May 2021Inside No. 9 review
The whole tale was so arch it was bent double. But no one has said 'bomb' in such a silly accent since the Pink Panther movies. I defy you not to snigger.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 11th May 2021Inside No. 9 review
The prospect of a new series of Inside No. 9 is delicious. Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are surely now at national treasure status. So it pains me to say that I didn't much enjoy last night's offering, which Gemma Whelan explained to camera was a cross between commedia dell'arte and a heist movie, but felt to me largely like a drama students' circle jerk.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 11th May 2021Inside No 9: Wuthering Heist review
Wuthering Heist is another ambitious episode, bringing back Inside No 9 with a bang that should satisfy all the fans who have been eagerly awaiting it. Even, maybe, those on internet fan boards...
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 11th May 2021Inside No. 9 review
The new series gets off to a strong start with a very silly (but undeniably fun) premiere.
