Inside Number 9 - Series 5

[CaptainHammer]

Starts tonight! 🎉
10pm BBC 2

“ Magician didn't give a shit about his wife, so her dying meant nothing to him, only that he would go down for murder - wish they had thought of a different re-solution to this.”

But that’s good. The only revenge was for him to be convicted. His massive ego could only be curtailed that way.

Not for long though as I suspect he’d be a celebrity in jail!

I was bumbling about on sky earlier and found two WHOLE SERIES (3 and 4) of League of Gentlemen which I didn't know existed!! Don't know how I missed that. I saw the one off special that was most recently aired (it's a wife mine now! 😱).

Annoyingly my DCs have just come back from the park so I can't watch it until they're in bed but I'm extremely happy at the moment 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I’m out tomorrow so will have to see that on catch up. So I’ll have to hide the thread!

I’d love it if they could do a episode with Steve’s character from Whitechapel. Ooh, a whole Whitechapel/Inside No 9 crossover woukd be amazing!

Whos all tuned in for the last episode tonight. Sad that series went in so quick

Now that was cleverly done!

That was very dark and bloody scary, thank goodness all our dogs are sitting on / beside me !

My dh is nightshift too.. i didnt expect that one to be as scary. I enjoyed tonights episode. Some episodes this season have been a wee bit hit or miss.

Got home and caught up right away

Did I miss something? I get that there were vampire refs throughout which I only realised at the end, but it still seemed a bit...odd.

I really enjoyed last night, I think it might be one of my favourites. I'll definitely be watching it again.

I'm a huge fan of the genre, and for me the many clues should have stood out underlined in red with an air raid siren going off (even the title ffs!).

With the conversation about TV tropes, I was left feeling a bit like Reece's character at the end of the Magician episode, distracted from the trick by being shown how the trick was going to be done. I'm still slightly embarrassed this morning.

Those who enjoyed the end, are you into vampire stuff? I don’t know anything about it.

The noise on the top of the car made me think of Ghost Stories, if anyone’s seen that (the stage version).

I enjoyed it but am not into any vampire stuff. I missed a lot of the vampire references throughout the episode i rewatched it again this morning and it makes sense now. I thought at first that steve pembertons character had been involved in the other partners death or something like that. Watching it back its so clever how they worked the vampire references into the show. Like hima sking if he could come into the car and the avoiding the bridge coz of water.

The only bit i was puzzled at was the bits with the gun shots that got fired what were they all about is that of some significance that i am missing.

“ I thought at first that steve pembertons character had been involved in the other partners death or something like that”

That’s what I thought at first. Then I thought it was Varney, but not in a vampire way, obviously.

AutumnRose1 yeah thats the way i was thinking who got then was it the guy they were chasing?

*shot

AutumnRose1 speaking as a huge fan of classic horror and the comedy/horror that pokes fun at all the cliches, I'd say I was probably the ideal target audience for that episode. I'm torn between being ashamed I failed to spot the clues (tomato juice - aagh) and being glad I didn't because it would have spoiled the end. To borrow another horror trope, I feel like I've been downgraded from weird annoying nerdy friend who saves everybody with horror knowledge (before getting killed in finale twist) to idiot who gets killed in the first five minutes.

I haven't watched the episode again yet, but the most important bit of the shooting for me was what Steve's character says in the car the next night (something like "I've never seen anybody move as fast as that"). I'm looking forward to spotting the clues I missed the first time around. It was like vampire bingo.

That's what is so good about the series, each episode is so different and there's something for everybody. Hope they do another.

Of course Varney the Vampire was a Victorian story. Need to rewatch to find all the clues!

Oh gods, rewatching, he even says "Varney the Vegan". Feel like a right now. This is going to hurt.

2 more series coming!

Did anyone spot the infamous hare in last nights episode?

I didn’t see the hare and I was looking out for it.

In an advert next to the newspaper article.

Good news about 2 more series.

BlueWave once you've watched TLoG watch the Christmas episode .

Loved it and it's part of our Christmas Tradition to watch each year .
There was an Inside No 9 'Krampus' episode that I need to re-watch .

Really enjoyed this series , each one so different .
Still majorly in lurrve with Steve Pemberton BTW

I loved the Krampus episode! Deliciously dark.

70 do watch Whitechapel if you haven’t already.

Well, I recommend that to anyone. It’s harsh though. Season 2, about the Krays (sort of) is the best I think.

My favourite episode is still Cold Caller

But Death Be Not Proud is now a close second!
