Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 1 review
This first episode is smart, funny and fast moving, and does more work in thirty minutes than many comedies do in six episodes.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 3rd January 2018Inside No 9: Zanzibar review
Everything about "Zanzibar" was expertly put together, very much like a televised stage play -- which is how many of Inside No. 9's episodes feel -- but this more than most because of the farce and rhyming couplets.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 3rd January 2018The scarily versatile Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith are back, turning their hands to chaotic door-slamming farce with a Shakespearean flavour. The toying with The Comedy of Errors - Rory Kinnear plays twins who unknowingly both book rooms on a hotel's busy ninth floor - and the iambic pentameter dialogue create a delightfully breathless parlour game of an episode, with the show's trademark wickedness only peeping through via a torrent of smutty wordplay. Top-hole.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 2nd January 2018Inside No 9: Zanzibar preview
Zanzibar is an old-fashioned comedy of confusion, wittily executed and hugely satisfying in the way all the strands intertwine for the tidy resolution required.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd January 2018Inside No. 9 series 4 spoiler-free review
Macabre, inventive and... emotional.
Ian Sandwell, Digital Spy, 2nd January 2018Review - Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 1 - Zanzibar
Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's comedy anthology returns with a Shakespearean twist.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 2nd January 2018Shearsmith & Pemberton's ode to Shakespeare is sublime
It's a sublime and intentionally shambolic ode to William Shakespeare; delivered in Bard-like verse.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 2nd January 2018Inside No. 9 series 4 episode 1 review: Zanzibar
This comedy farce written in verse shows that custom cannot stale Inside No. 9's infinite variety.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 2nd January 2018TV Review: Inside No. 9 - Zanzibar
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's comedy anthology series is back and better than ever, with a new tale that is well worth your time - it's funny and clever, it even rhymes!
Anneka Honeyball, The National Student, 2nd January 2018A triumphant return for Pemberton and Shearsmith
