British Comedy Guide, 19th January 2017Binging: Inside No. 9
Deft, dense writing as funny as it's surprising and darker than the inside of a cow. Kiri Pritchard-McLean could yell about Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's compendium of nightmares until her throat's raw.
Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Standard Issue, 5th January 2017Inside No. 9 'The Devil of Christmas' review
Steve Pemberton & Reece Shearsmith's opener was them at the very peak of their powers and showed why there is no-one even coming close to what they can achieve in just 30 minutes of television.
Dodo's Words, 5th January 2017Devil of Christmas review - macabre merriment all round
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton take us back to the 1970s for this nightmarish festive folk tale.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 28th December 2016Inside No. 9 review
It's a gargantuan, incredibly precise task to make such gloriously terrible TV, a skill reserved for only the greatest of comics. But Inside No. 9 achieves it - a demented, finely-honed comedy that also works as a twist-filled Christmas mystery.
Adam White, The Telegraph, 28th December 2016Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's twisted anthology comedy returns for a Christmas special, with Pemberton, Jessica Raine and Rula Lenska hamming it up gleefully as a family getting more than they bargained for while on an Alpine holiday. Initially, it's a homage to 70s TV melodrama. But a voiceover - director's commentary or something more sinister? - lends an uneasy undertone, and soon the spoofy chuckles are over.
Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 27th December 2016Before the third series starts, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are treating us to a seasonally-twisted special of their anthology comedy, Inside No.9.
It is Austria, Krampusnacht, December 1977. Julian Devonshire (Steve Pemberton), his pregnant wife Kathy (Jessica Raine), their son Toby and mother-in-law Celia (Rula Lenska) arrive at the alpine chalet for a family holiday.
They are shown around by Klaus (Reece Shearsmith) who tells the family about the local legend of The Devil of Christmas. All the good children are given gifts by St. Nicholas, and all the bad ones are punished by the demonic Krampus.
But who has been good, and who has been bad?
