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 2024Is 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.

Cult series bows out with fiendishly clever all-star farce.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 12th June 2024"The show happened by accident": cult comedy Inside No. 9 shuts its doors
As Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith call time on their grimly hilarious TV anthology, they and their collaborators from a decade of darkness discuss how it was all done.
Daniel Dylan Wray, The Guardian, 8th June 2024Inside 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
Jack Bottomley, Starburst Magazine, 6th June 2024Inside 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.

The penultimate episode fails to resonate.
David Craig, Radio Times, 5th June 2024Inside 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.
Nick Bartlett, Critical Popcorn, 5th June 2024Inside No. 9, Curse of the Ninth review
Inside No. 9's penultimate story is an elegant, Edwardian-set M.R. James homage.
