Inside Number 9 Series 6

[CaptainHammer]

Is back tomorrow on BBC 2 at 9.30PM. Really looking forward to its return and hope it’ll be better than series 5 which was my least favourite so far.

@Giggorata

I thought it was a reference to Game of Thrones, the fandom and the ending. Loved it.

I listened to the podcast this morning and they do make reference to Game of Thrones.

I’ve not watched much of GoT (tried it, found it unbearable! ) so any references completely passed me by.

I think the reaction to the GoT finale was the jump off point but I think any show with a large devoted fandom works

Simon saying that two male characters should have ended up together because of one small moment definitely made me think of Sherlock and the fandoms devotion to Johnlock being a thing

All the fan fiction rewrites - I mean how many Harry Potter fics have Harry ending up with hermione (or Draco)

I thought it captured the obsession of fandom brilliantly

i loved this weeks episode.. am i right in saying that this is the 1st time Steve Pembertons character has killed reeces character in an episode

Also the wrath of a fandom when it doesn’t get what it wants. The sanditon fandom campaigned for over a year for the show ti recommissioned and it finally has been.....

....But without the main male lead actor who doesn’t want to come back and so his character has been cut. Cue social media being awash with hatred for him, his wife (must be her fault) insistence he was in love with his female co star and is too scared of his feelings to return, and people generally hoping his career goes arse up

All because he didn’t share the fandoms view of how his story arc should end....

Haven’t seen thrones

But this was a better episode with A proper ending

This evening's episode is hilarious anyone else watching?

I’m watching. Very funny but I’ve no idea what is going on as usual 😂😂

Mumsnet got a shout out!

We’re not THAT competitive

Oh heck, definitely didn’t see that coming!

I did LOL at the Mumsnet reference

That was a good un!

really enjoyed this weeks episode. proper twist o didnt see coming

Sorry to be dim.. but can anyone explain the ending..?! Was Felix (?) actually Dimitri or were they making it out like he was but he wasn't when the real Dimitri was shot.

I also didn't spot the hare this week, I was so pleased to finally spot it last week as I never do!

i took it that they( the goverment) had framed felix for demitris murder and that iris had been an undercover spy all along.

That’s what I thought. I shall look forward to listening to the podcast later!

did anyone spot the hare this week?

I loved this one and I’ll definitely rewatch.

@MrsMercury

did anyone spot the hare this week?

No

The hare was a picture on the side of the shampoo bottle that the hotel manager picked up in the bathroom, missed it first time around. Loved this week, she was working for the government to set Felix up for the murder of an activist his wife worked for, very clever!

Absolutely loved the first one, found the second one too disturbing. I am not a horror fan - I'm a wuss - and I do love when they play with theatrical, narrative and historic themes. It's extremely clever and I find it audacious and refreshing. Zanzibar was my previous favourite.

I loved this weeks

Onv knew there would be a twist but didn’t see it coming till the hairdryer

As soon as he held that in hands knew he would be shot

Did anyone spot that Iris was Fleabag's sister?!

@Arcadia
