Farewell, Inside No. 9: Why the BBC show's finale must be watched live

The most inventive, ingenious programme on our screens is coming to an end - make sure you watch the last episode as it airs.

Michael Hogan, The Independent, 12th June 2024

Is this a clue to the final Inside No. 9?

The Cryptic Crossword in The Guardian on the day of broadcast has been set by Sphinx, which just happens to be the nickname used by Steve Pemberton when he sets crosswords.

For the last episode of Inside No 9, Steve Pemberton got to play one of the most devious characters the show has yet seen: himself.

Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review

Some may call this episode one that lacks major innovation or twists, and it may admittedly be in some way overshadowed by next week's anticipated mystery to come, even this story feels in some way indebted to this particular unknown. However "Curse of the Ninth" is a tremendously well made and delivered horror story, with the central character being morally tortured and pushed by his passions but afflicted by his regrets, and the story escalating nicely, after opening with a literal bang, and concluding with a genuinely scary crescendo

Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review

What Curse of the Ninth does show is that Shearsmith and Pemberton are never short on ambition and even after all this time still prepared to try something different and never coast.

Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review

The penultimate episode fails to resonate.

Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review

A deliciously gothic tale in the style of Edgar Allan Poe and MR James, The Curse Of The Ninth is a quintessential episode of Inside No. 9.

Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review

Inside No. 9's penultimate story is an elegant, Edwardian-set M.R. James homage.
