Once Removed is the third episode of Inside No.9 Series 4, and kicks off with an opening-and-a-half which leads to a situation which has to be seen to be believed, before the action heads back to ten minutes earlier.

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room is the second episode of Inside No.9 Series 4, and is a much stronger episode than last week’s return, this time centering on the two leads as ‘Cheese and Crackers’, a Little and Large-style ’80s double act who came to came to the fore just as that sort of humour was […]
Zanzibar is the name of the hotel in which the first episode of Inside No.9 Series 4 is set, and it looks at the residents on the 9th floor. It’s a difficult episode to describe because most of it centred around everyone talking at cross purposes, with situations getting confused between them all, and the […]
The League of Gentlemen is something I never got into back in the day. I couldn’t watch the first two series thanks to the canned laughter (when they take audience laughs from another part of a recording to use elsewhere, to pep up the laugh track, that may as well be canned!) So, when I […]

The Riddle of The Sphinx proved that The Bill wasn’t just streets ahead of the rest of the series so far, but that it has strong competition. Based around crossword puzzles with Nina (Utopia‘s Alexandra Roach) letting herself into her professor’s study (which is room No.9, naturally), he – Professor Squires (Steve Pemberton) – is […]
