Inside No. 9 Season 3 Episode 5 review
Blending elements of ignored classic Roger & Val Have Just Got In with Shearsmith's own short story Dog, and giving an ending that's either dark or very dark, depending on your tastes (students of writing, take note of how much can be said without being explicit), Inside No. 9 once again burrows into the back chambers of your mind, and stays there for days afterward.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 16th March 2017Inside No. 9 - Diddle Diddle Dumpling review
The latest No. 9 from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton is a return to darker themes, exploring an uneasy tale of mystery and obsession.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 15th March 2017Preview - Inside No. 9: Diddle Diddle Dumpling
Every series of Inside No. 9 appears to have an episode set in suburbia. This time around, the family living at No. 9 sees one of its residents going slowly insane.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 14th March 2017Inside No. 9 review: Diddle Diddle Dumpling
The latest Inside No. 9 is a dark tale of obsession guest-starring Keeley Hawes.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 14th March 2017Inside No 9 review: madness and tragedy from a shoe
There was clearly something off about this polished, brightly-lit vision of domestic bliss. And so it proved.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 14th March 2017Inside No.9 review: series three: 'Empty Orchestra'
'Empty Orchestra' is a very affecting piece. There are moments in it that stay with you and replay inside your head, such is the level of poignancy which builds within it, almost like a piece of music reaching a crescendo.
Dodo's Words, 13th March 2017Inside No.9 season 3 episode 4 review: Empty Orchestra
It's a half hour with significantly more emotional heft, having on its playlist such old classics as betrayal, regret and unrequited love.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 8th March 2017Inside No 9: Empty Orchestra review
Anyone who has taken part in a works' karaoke outing knows that it's an arena for bad singing, annoyingly good singing and professional tensions to surface unprofessionally. The latest episode of Inside No 9, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's terrifically clever portmanteau series, exploited this to full effect to provide another 30-minute oddity that was bursting with ideas and left you with a feeling of deep unsettlement, like reading an MR James story and then remembering the denouement in your dreams and waking up in a cold sweat.
Ben Lawrence, The Telegraph, 7th March 2017TV Review: Inside No. 9 - Empty Orchestra
Taking us inside a comparatively more pleasant No. 9, this latest tale from Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton is fairly enjoyable, but lacks the high dramatic stakes of previous episodes.
