Inside No 9: The Stakeout review

The fifth series of Inside No 9 goes out on a high tonight - though that's a position it's rarely left. No wonder two more seasons have been ordered already.

Oh bloody hell. It's the final episode of the fifth series of Inside No. 9. And I'm probably not the only person who thinks that this is the best series yet.

Inside No. 9, Thinking Out Loud, review

An unusually clumsy effort from TV's most inventive duo.

Inside No. 9 review: Thinking Out Loud

Inside No. 9 gets bolder and more slippery by the week.

Review: Inside No. 9, Thinking Out Loud

As we approach the end of Inside No. 9's long-awaited fifth series, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have given us another gripping half-hour in Thinking Out Loud.

The Referee's a W***er review

That wonderfully distinctive ability to constantly and consistently raise their creative game shows no signs of flagging five series in.

TV preview: Inside No. 9 - Thinking Out Loud, BBC Two

It's another stylistic curveball for the fifth episode in the fifth series of Inside No. 9. I wondered if creators/stars Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton could sustain their high standard in this run, but if anything they have surpassed it.
