Television Inside No. 9

[Solius]

Well can you at least ask them to stop making it?

 

[Silva]

And can you cancel House of Fools while you're at it please?

 

[Mockney]

The witch one for me wasn't that great. Obvious ending.

Simpsons did it

 

[Solius]

Simpsons did it

Yeah that's probably how I knew it was coming.

 

[Silva]

Loved it.

The episode felt like they had a concept of how they wanted to film and they tacked a story to it. Didn't think it was funny at all tbh.

I don't think it's as funny as the last series but they seem to of got rid of a lot of the humour. It's not like it's trying to be funny and failing. The funny bits are still quite funny I find.

I enjoyed last nights don't know if it was meant to be obvious that Reece Shearsmith was the one ringing but I saw that coming a mile off, the more shocking part was the ending which was really well done.

Wasn't supposed to be funny.

Fantastic ending, really good episode.

Fantastic ending, really good episode.

Well considering it's a dark COMEDY I would expect some humour.

Pemberton and Shearsmith have always been able to bridge the gap between the macbre and humour, they've struggled this season. The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge was the only one that was consistently funny throughout.

 

[Brophs]

I think it's probably the best thing on TV at the mo. Obviously when you make deliberately askew, inventive telly then some of your punches won't land but for me what they're doing is very similar to Chris Morris in that it'll undoubtedly be copied in years to come.

 

[Silva]

I should probably stop watching these in the middle of the night. Another good episode.

 

[VeevaVee]

Never heard of this before. Sounds interesting though, may give it a go.

 

[Mockney]

Thought the last episode was great, if very telegraphed. They're obviously settling into the trend of leaving the most gothic and distrubing till last.

Felt series 2 was slightly more consistent than series 1, but without hitting it's spectacular highs. Nana's Party was the weakest of the 12. Great TV in all.

 

[Dumbstar]

I enjoyed Nana's party.

 

[gza the genius]

Just bought the first season of this off the back of this threads recommendation, I expect a full refund from everyone involved if I don't like it.

 

[Mockney]

Christmas ep up on iPlayer. Shades of Garth Marenghi...

 

[a_devil_inside]

I wasn't keen on this episode, prefer the one without a narrator

 

[Loon]

Liked the spoofing of 70's BBC productions. Just thought the twist on the end was a little forced just for the sake of a twist.

It would have been completely out of character with what Inside No.9 is if it didn't end in some horrific way.

Indeed, I just think making a snuff movie was a little facile. They usually do better.

 

[GaryLifo]

Where can I watch the earlier episodes of this?

Big fan of League and Psychoville

 

[Alock1]

Only just caught the Christmas special, which whilst I didn't enjoy it much, I could appreciate.

Very underappreciated show, doesn't get the viewers it deserves. Which episode is everyone's favourite?

 

[Silva]

Quite like the silent one from season one. I still sometimes laugh to myself like an idiot thinking about the big dogs entrance.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Which episode is everyone's favourite?

'Last Gasp' from the first series.

'The 12 Days of Christine' in series two had an emotional impact.

 

[JP77]

Missed the Christmas episode.

New series starts tonight for anybody that didn't know, 10pm BBC 2.

 

[Member 5225]

So this is worth watching then (haven't seen any of it, but like the thriller/mystery type of stuff).

Nice!

If you like the League of Gentleman and Psychoville....you will enjoy it. Same creators so same level of dark humour.

No idea re: those shows.

 

[RedRevongge]

No idea re: those shows.

Personally, I didn't watch a lot of League of Gentleman but Psychoville is really good. I recommend it more than Inside no.9 which is also pretty decent.

Cheers didn't know it was on. Looking forward to that


The whole episode is on YouTube there from Christmas Special....not best quality though (one of them small Youtube videos) but it's watchable.

Worth watching for sure. The good thing for you jumping in is that every episode is a new story with new characters so even if you don't enjoy one/some there will probably be something in there that you'll like at some point. Episode 2 and 3 of Season 1 are must watches IMO. Almost all of Season 2 is absolutely fantastic too. Check them out mate.

Cheers mate. I've been meaning to watch it for a while now but just not got round to it.

Tonight's episode:

After a tiresome game of badminton a group of friends go for a night out at a local restaurant. They indulge in some tapas and a few drinks, which sounds like a lot of fun – but ultimately somebody has to pay the bill at the end of the night. What has started out as a pleasant evening ends with a shocking twist, as an argument about who is going to pick up the bill erupts – and then spirals out of control.

The writing and acting is always on point so think tonight's should be great. Always twists and turns in there too. What sounds pretty simple and standard on paper almost always get turned into something brilliant by these guys.

Really good season so far.

 

[JP77]

Such a great episode tonight.

The writing is some of the best on television right now and in a long time IMO.

 

[Silva]

The crossword was also todays Guardian crossword.

 

[Alock1]

Such a great show. More people need to watch this. I've never met anyone who has seen it.

 

[a_devil_inside]

No wonder I can never solve the crossword clues, don't know how they come up with such things.
Good episode and as usual many twists.

 

[Silva]

Pretty cheery episode by inside no.9 standards, unless I'm missing something.

 

[JP77]

Brilliant episode this week. Didn't realise the 2's until after the reveal.
