Inside No. 9 series 3 episode 3 review
Inside No. 9 series 3 pays homage to Sleuth in a delightfully nasty, slippery story themed around cryptic crosswords...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 1st March 2017Inside No. 9 Season 3 Episode 3 review
Some hardcore fans may well demand something more tricksy, more gimmicky - indeed, less traditional. But there are still many pleasures to be had here, if you follow the clues.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 1st March 2017Inside No. 9 - 'The Riddle of the Sphinx' review
A young woman asks a favour of a cryptic crossword setter, beginning a chain of unexpected turns...
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 1st March 2017A brilliant episode of Inside No. 9. Not just because it was a creepy, twisting tale of revenge, based on the riddle of the Sphinx. But because it was also based on, and starred, yesterday's Guardian cryptic crossword (which, of course, you will have completed before watching). Steve Pemberton, who writes and stars alongside Reece Shearsmith, also set the crossword. Hence the answer to 12 across: mystery guest! Genius.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 1st March 2017Inside No 9 - The Riddle of the Sphinx preview
Is The Riddle of the Sphinx the best-ever Inside No. 9? It is certainly the cleverest.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 28th February 2017How the Guardian's cryptic crossword appeared on IN9
Today's cryptic was from a new setter ... and the BBC's horror comedy series might provide some clues to their identity.
Alan Connor, The Guardian, 28th February 2017Inside No. 9 review: a devious and outrageous puzzle
Clever, compelling and very, very dark, Inside No. 9's latest standalone story defined 'unpredictable'.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 28th February 2017Inside No. 9 review: 'The Bill'
Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's script is, as always, simply extraordinary, working across several different levels at once.
Dodo's Words, 26th February 2017The kicker for this horror-com's third season had Philip Glenister and Jason Watkins in juicy roles they must have salivated over - a one-act drama featuring their caricatures, subverted - and could have phoned in, but thankfully didn't. This argument over a restaurant bill was dark, biting, often blink-and-you'll-miss-it hilarious, ultimately prosaically disappointing, but that just made me want more. Bring it on.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 26th February 2017Inside No. 9 series 3 episode 2 review: The Bill
Inside No. 9 returns with a very fraught, very funny episode co-starring Philip Glenister and Jason Watkins.
