Inside No. 9 - Death Be Not Proud review
What follows is one of the funniest and darkest episodes of Inside No. 9 yet.
Reece Goodall, The Boar, 10th March 2020Inside 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.
Stephanie Chasee, Digital Spy, 12th February 2020TV 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.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 11th February 2020Inside No. 9 series 5 episode 2 review
Pemberton and Shearsmith give the fans what they want in "Death Be Not Proud".
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 11th February 2020The nerdy details in Death Be Not Proud
Major episode spoilers as we explore the Easter Eggs tucked away in Inside No. 9's Death Be Not Proud...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 11th February 2020Inside 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 2020Another 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.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 10th February 2020Inside No 9, Death Be Not Proud review
When did you twig? Was it the blender? The ping-pong ball eyes?
Chris Bennion, The Telegraph, 10th February 2020Preview: Inside No. 9 - Death Be Not Proud, BBC2
It's easy to speculate, but don't bother second guessing, just watch.
