British Comedy Guide, 6th February 2018Inside No 9: Tempting Fate preview
After their rather in-jokey satire on TV awards last week (albeit with a twist in the tale), "Tempting Fate" is a return to what this brilliant anthology does so well: mixing underplayed black humour with a compelling tale. Season 4 has been a special triumph even by Inside No 9's normal high standards, and it bows out with a bang.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 5th February 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 6, Tempting Fate review
The current fourth series of Inside No. 9 has probably been the most consistently brilliant series yet, delivering different, distinctive and unforgettable episodes each time. And it goes out in fantastic style this week with an episode that has numerous nods towards the horror genre, not to mention a delicious callback to past Inside No. 9s.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th February 2018Inside No 9 series 4 episode 5 review
And The Winner Is ... is simply a good joke, simply told. Yes, there are darker episodes. Yes, there are ones that are more obviously fiendishly clever. But this may well be the one you keep returning to, re-watching for the sheer hell of it. 'Can't wait to see what you do next,' says Woolgar's reviewer at one point.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 31st January 2018Review: Inside No. 9 - And The Winner Is...
And the Winner is... wasn't the best episode of Inside No. 9, and easily the worst of this excellent fourth series, but there were still amusing lines and a twist ending that somehow managed to eluded me.
Dan's Media Digest, 31st January 2018Review: Inside No. 9 - And The Winner Is...
Despite the high regard that many hold it in, Inside No. 9 remains to be something of an underrated gem on our screens.
Anneka Honeyball, The National Student, 31st January 2018Inside No 9 review: a sly skewering of the TV industry
Screen stories about juries often thrive on tension and suspense. But Inside No 9's latest episode shuns nail-biting matters of life and death in favour of a more shallow enterprise.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: rare weak point in fantastic series
As mentioned, Inside No 9 is an anthology series which means that we should expect the odd miss to go with every hit. And the Winner Is... was more of a misjudgement than a series-ending catastrophe.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 5 - And the Winner Is...
While it was well acted, it lacked something that makes the episode truly stand out. It is a good episode in its own right, but among the rest of the brilliant Series 4 it felt a bit down.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9 series 4 episode 5 review
Inside No. 9 does well-observed industry satire in its latest episode.
