Inside No. 9 - back on again

• hurray

Oh my god. That actually made me cry. That was brilliant. If that doesn't win some tv award somewhere then there will have been a massive travesty of justice.

Superb.
I cried too.

I think I missed the last few seconds. DS cried 5 minutes before the end so I recorded it, and it didn't record the final credits. I saw the bit when the Mum said "It's time Christine". Was there anything else after that?

You saw her on the trolley and Reese Shearsmith talking to the policeman? That was before her mum said its time wasn't it? She said goodbye, I love you all and the. It finished.

Even dh looked a bit red round the eyes.

God I was typing that so frantically I didn't notice my fat fingers.

I was thinking that should win awards too. It was bloody brilliant. A fantastic 30 minutes of television.

I came straight on here with the intention of starting a thread if there wasn't one already.

love Sheridan Smith, which helps

Very clever. I just thought, the bit where she hears a man's voice on the baby monitor saying "let's get you out of here" is when Reece Shearsmith is rescuing her son from the car isn't it? I think it's one of those films in which more bits would fit into place if you watched it again, but there's no way I could put myself through that!

I'm confused about her Dad though. If he didn't have dementia and didn't die, what was she remembering then?

Oh it was brilliant and I never usually get choked up! Sheridan Smith is a fantastic actor and the writing was so good. I agree you'd have to watch it again to pick up on different aspects. Loved it.

That was great, very clever.

Yes I was confused about her dad too. I thought the 'twist' might be that she had dementia and that's why they gave her the photo album? Must watch it again.

I thought that too Maresedotes

I thought that too. I originally thought her first boyfriend who died had come back to haunt her when she met someone else, then wondered if the guy who walked out in front of her and caused the crash was him come back.

He probably had died but in her semiconscious state she was imagining him alive again? Possibly?

She is a bloody good actor isn't she?

Sorry that was to mares.

I think the dad had died, but when her life flashed before her it wasn't necessarily an accurate representation of time passing, but the important bits, with the important people there at the end to say goodbye.

The dad was lovely when he was speaking to her when she crying about her son starting school.

Inside no 9 was brilliant but bit of a mistake me watching it when I was on my own in the house as I've scared myself to death and can't sleep! I suppose the valentine card being delivered at the beginning was part of her memories getting a bit mixed up.

I've taped them but I'm still terrified after the last episode of series 1 so daren't watch yet

Thank you Ms and Bunny your points make sense! We need to get SS on to Mumsnet to tell her how great she is.

I've just watched some of it again on iplayer. Last night I kept thinking that Sheridan Smith was looking a bit rough, wondered if she was a bit ill during filming, but now I realise they deliberately made her look increasingly unwell as time passed.

I bawled!

The memories were a muddled and intertwined, reality interspersing between them.

Yes, like in a dream.
