Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith on friendship, TV and saying goodbye to Inside No. 9

As Inside No. 9 comes to an end after nine series of constant innovation and brilliance, its creators spoke to us about their nine lives in comedy.

Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review

It's enough to say this is one of the pair's more darkly dramatic pieces. There's very little comic relief to relieve the ratcheting tension - an absurdly out-of-place reference to a certain national treasure notwithstanding - which will have you guessing till the end, certain only that this pressurised encounter is not likely to end well.

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

Inside No. 9, the series of half-hour playlets created by the demonically inventive Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, is ending after a ten-year run.

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have been making these ingenious, heartstopping chillers for a decade now - and the final series kicks off with perhaps the most meaningful episode yet.

No one could predict that twist.

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

The end is in sight for this delightful, twisted creation.

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

Only a tiny bit weirder than your average night on the Tube.

Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 8th May 2024

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

A five-star train ride into the macabre.

Carol Midgley, The Times, 8th May 2024

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

An alternately playful and chilling parable on the perils of authoritarianism, Boo To A Goose is one of the strongest ensemble pieces Inside No. 9 has accomplished.

Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 8th May 2024

Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose review

It's the end of an era and Inside No. 9 is going out all guns blazing.
