Inside No. 9 references Pemberton crime series

The episode "Death Be Not Proud" contained a reference to Edward Buchan, the character played by Steve Pemberton in ITV drama series Whitechapel.

TV review: Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 2

Last week's Inside No. 9 was the first I hadn't particularly enjoyed, the plot was a little contrived and the humour crass, and simply because there's so many other series on right now I hadn't planned to review it again quite so soon. But due to the nature of the episode and just how much I loved it I found myself with no choice, especially as it contained such a (very, very pleasant) surprise.

Inside No. 9 & the sick, twisted history of Psychoville

Following this week's crossover episode, Ed Power remembers Psychoville, the Grand Guignol comedy-horror series that gave us Inside No. 9.

Ed Power, The Telegraph, 11th February 2020

Another blackly comic, entirely unpredictable half hour in the company of Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and the number nine. Putting a macabre spin on the housing crisis, in Death Be Not Proud, the only home Beattie and Sam (Jenna Coleman and Kadiff Kirwan) can afford comes with a sinister catch.

Inside No 9, Death Be Not Proud review

When did you twig? Was it the blender? The ping-pong ball eyes?

Preview: Inside No. 9 - Death Be Not Proud, BBC2

It's easy to speculate, but don't bother second guessing, just watch.

TV review: Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 1

I could have forgiven the questionably dodgy plot if it had been a funny episode, but the majority of the jokes were just laborious and banal and there's absolutely no excuse for that.

Review: Inside No. 9 goes inside the locker room

Although there are plenty of witty lines and the performances are great, "The Referee's a W***er" didn't resonate with me as much as other Inside No. 9 episodes have.
