That was a bit light for Inside No 9, but nicely put together.

"I'm missing a plug for the bath"
"It's not electric, that would be dangerous"

Unexpected joke and the funnier for being so.

MULLENEDWINE · « **Reply #208 on:** January 2, 2018, 10:45:04 pm »

Very charming I thought. Well put together. Looking forward to the next one.

John C · « **Reply #209 on:** January 2, 2018, 11:21:46 pm »

Absolutely brilliant, loads of fun and chuckles.

Craig S · « **Reply #210 on:** January 3, 2018, 01:31:44 am »

I would like to read the script of that. I definitely missed some of the couplets.

How many Shakespearean plots did they manage to get in? The plot to kill a regent and usurp them, twins separated, sleep potion, a love potion, the breaking of the love potion.

Shepnois · « **Reply #211 on:** January 3, 2018, 02:15:06 am »

Oh that was superb, the 30mins flew by a joy from start to finish. They packed so much into it, loads of great lines I'll have to watch it again, I'm sure I missed some great stuff as it all went by so fast. The guys are so talanted nobody is doing what they do on TV. All the actors were amazing as usual. Bring on the rest.

Zeppelin · « **Reply #212 on:** January 3, 2018, 08:18:22 am »

That was brilliant. To write a whole show in iambic pentameter and to include a load of jokes and Shakespearean plot parodies, yet keep the interest going was a real tour de force... and when Reece Shearsmith started to do the Hokey Cokey!!

Alan_X · « **Reply #213 on:** January 3, 2018, 10:06:13 am »

Really enjoyed it. Very clever and so glad that others enjoyed it as well. I'd have loved to hear the elevator pitch for this episode:

'So it's set in a hotel corridor, written in Iambic pentameter, references classic Shakespearean plots and has an 80-year-old giving a golden shower...'

Buck Pete · « **Reply #214 on:** January 3, 2018, 02:50:22 pm »

Well that was a most enjoyable Farce that reminded me so much of an episode of Fawlty Towers. Room changing guests, old women fainting and money changing hands rapidly (OK, FT never featured Watersports)

Must admit though, I'd never heard of Iambic pentameter before now but after reading a little on the term, S&P appeared to have executed it perfectly. ALthough I do get the impression if they couldn't be perfect with anything they did, they just wouldn't do it.

Yep, really enjoyed that episode.

Craig S · « **Reply #215 on:** January 3, 2018, 03:49:21 pm »

The Hare was in room 915, behind Mr Green (Bill Paterson). If anyone still looks out for that.

Ahhh I did start looking for the Hare but forgot as i got engrossed in the story and following the characters movements.

The more I think about last nights episode the more I feel I enjoyed it.

As others have said, probably needs a rewatch to take in bits that were missed.

Ziltoid · « **Reply #217 on:** January 4, 2018, 11:00:10 am »

Watched this last night, thought it was excellent.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #218 on:** January 4, 2018, 11:42:18 pm »

Brilliant stuff.

They are outrageously talented and underappreciated. Can turn their hands to anything.

mattD · « **Reply #219 on:** January 6, 2018, 11:31:20 pm »

Always a treat this show. Love it, and Pemberton and Shearsmith are two of the country's best writers and performers.

Any news on whether The League of Gentlemen will do anything new (outside of Royston Vasey I presume)? I know they've got the live shows later this year but it would be great to see them team up together for something new.

Nitramdorf · « **Reply #220 on:** January 7, 2018, 11:33:04 am »

Really enjoyed that, so much going on. It's wonderful what can come out of the human mind, so clever.
On that note, what about Red - phhwwwooaarr.

TheRedBaron · « **Reply #221 on:** January 9, 2018, 10:43:09 pm »

Wow. That one choked me up, felt like laughing and crying at the same time. Lost a good mate last year and it hit me right in the feels.

Dont think there's better writers in the UK.

mattD · « **Reply #222 on:** January 9, 2018, 10:52:50 pm »

Only the start of the year, but I doubt I'll see a more finely crafted piece of television like that this year.

I agree with the above - they're the best writers on TV. Sublime.

Something Worse · « **Reply #223 on:** January 10, 2018, 01:48:08 am »

Reminded me of a great episode of Scrubs that one, not quite as good but it's harder to build empathy in 30 minutes than 30 episodes so not entirely fair.

Elzar · « **Reply #224 on:** January 10, 2018, 09:20:58 am »

Half an hour just flies past, and it basically was just 2 people in 1 room doing a butlins comedy routine. Incredible TV

bigal · « **Reply #225 on:** January 10, 2018, 07:22:37 pm »

Wow, one of their best. And that is as good as it gets, tremendous

mattD · « **Reply #226 on:** January 10, 2018, 07:53:57 pm »

For all their greatness in writing, the both of them sure as hell can act too.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #227 on:** January 10, 2018, 09:05:27 pm »

S&P are just so easy to watch. Captivating TV.

Genius writers and damn fine actors to boot.

Riquende · « **Reply #228 on:** January 10, 2018, 10:06:05 pm »

I thought I was about halfway through the episode, turned out I was 2 minutes from the end and then the twist completely got me, and I was surprised to find I was quite sad.

Incomparable.

Same here. Brilliantly done. Almost up there with Twelve Days of Christine.

That's true genius. The way they play with expectations and shift the emotions in 30 minutes is masterful. You think you know what you're watching but the rug is pulled but without it feeling like a cheap trick. It's not a 'twist' at the end - the whole thing just makes sense.

The Gulleysucker · « **Reply #230 on:** January 10, 2018, 10:49:46 pm »

It was brilliant, Beckett level stuff, very reminiscent to me of Waiting for Godot, not so much in the storyline but the interaction between the two players and the questions about their back histories that it created.

Everything was in there, a beautiful balance of pathos and humour, and then the dark Armchair Theatre like turn at the end.

Just superb, intelligent and engrossing viewing.

Just watched it. These stand alone shows are so original and creative. Hats off to the two writers.

This latest episode was superb - genuinely poignant and touching. Also bloody creepy.

I've only got to Inside no 9 in the past few months, and just watched 12 days of Christine (s2,e2).

Fuckin hell, what an episode. Flawlessly done

I started a separate thread on it here: https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=320635.msg13744963#msg13744963.

Post #30 is my summary of the plot in case you missed anything.

Thanks Alan, definitely missed a lot of the more subtle references in there. Think I'll give that commentary a listen to, cheers

Just watched the second ep of series 4.

It's just brilliant. I feel like I say the same things every episode. Beautifully written and wonderfully acted. Every episode is different and you never know what you're going to get. I genuinely think they don't get the appreciation they deserve.

Jake · « **Reply #236 on:** January 13, 2018, 09:23:31 pm »

That was brilliant, one of the best yet I'd agree with that. Nice subtle psychoville reference in there too.

Going back to the start, the real removals guy says 'moving home isn't that stressful. Death of a spouse, divorce, imprisonment are the big ones'.
