Topic: Inside No. 9 - BBC2 New series starts 10th May 2021

Loved the subtle clues throughout yesterdays. Getting Matthew Hopkins before the question

New series next Thursday, BBC2. The blurb says it has the most shocking scene they have ever done.

Also, apparently, it's the penultimate series and will finish next year.

Finishing on series 9 makes sense. Agree with others about the quality in general, but very difficult to write so many at the standard they started at!

I thought the most recent one (3x3) was very good. I know at least one person who was caught out and thought it was a scheduling error.

It was impressive to play it completely straight right up until the end. I kept assuming we'd cut to Shearsmith/Pemberton in a production capacity and something weird would be going on behind the scenes.

Lovely Day Today reference.

Edit: just hit me that The Day Today TV series is 30 years old next year. That'd be like I'm Alan Partridge referencing a Frost Report skit.

Not sure you'd get away with that on BBC2 these days...

I think this series has been a massive improvement on the last couple

That was dark.

It was brilliant.
I reckon it would have been an immaculate show if the camera panned to the audience and we got a glimpse of Shearsmith and Pemberton.

I expected them to be the cameramen or floor manager types.  Was excellent though.

Think this series has been good - 3x3 was very well done. The creepy family with a lot of skeletons in the closet. Lee Mack being himself was great as that’s not always easy in these things.

Last Weekend. Boy, very dark.

Final series starts next Wednesday, BBC2.

Absolutely wild that they've filmed an episode on the Wirral Line

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

1st episode was last night. I thought it was a strong start. A bit Black Mirror-ish.

[Riquende]

Definitely felt like "Inside No 9 do Black Mirror", which isn't a bad thing. I liked it more than a lot of recent episodes.

Oh and I completely failed to recognise Matthew "Tonight Matthew, I'm Going To Be..." Kelly as the old bloke, only just read it was him.

It doesn't help that he looks like a cross between Steve Pemberton and Ian McKellen.
