Preview: Series 4, Episode 4, To Have And To Hold

It's not a bundle of laughs but pretty powerful nightmare-inducing stuff as we watch the plot developing before our very eyes.

Inside No. 9 review: Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith can wreck you heart like no-one else when they want to.

TV Review: Inside No. 9 - Once Removed

After two well-received episodes, the third tale from the fourth season of Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's anthology series continues to impress.

Inside No 9: One Removed review

This was an episode to admire rather than belly-laugh. Once Removed was a farcical half-hour of murder and diminishing confusion.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 17th January 2018

Another perfectly constructed Swiss watch of comedy horror from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, also starring Monica Dolan and Emilia Fox. This time, they manufacture ornate and macabre chaos out of a house move. The story is told in reverse, so bewildering early scenes give way to a gradual revelation of means and motives. All eventually becomes clear(ish), but don't be surprised if you feel like starting again from the beginning as the credits roll.

Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 3 - Once Removed review

Inside No. 9 episodes are known for having at least one twist, but Once Removed has so many twists and turns it is hard to know where to start.

Inside No 9 review: Memento meets farce

Just when you think Inside No 9 has seen it all, along comes an episode with a gun hidden in an oven mitt, attempted smothering with bubble-wrap, and a dementia-stricken father who thinks he's Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Inside No. 9 series 4 episode 3 review: Once Removed

Inside No. 9 winds back the clock in a cleverly structured episode that keeps the audience guessing.
