Reece shearmith and rob pemberton are geniuses,

I never see the twist coming .

The actors are amazing and renowned

The plots are beyond the imagination!

It's the modern day tales of the unexpected isn't it ?

Oo you’ve reminded me. I still have some to watch. Thank you!

I can’t believe I missed this gem for such a long g time.genius is the word and I love the cameos too

GretaGood · 31/03/2023 06:17

Yes - it's great - but I like Tales of the Unexpected for the fashions / cars/ snooty middle class people.

Menopants · 31/03/2023 06:29

Takes of the unexpected was their inspiration

HollyGolightly4 · 31/03/2023 06:30

It's one of the best things we have on TV

CaveMum · 31/03/2023 09:24

It took me a while to watch them as I was never a LOG fan, but it us very good.

Recommend the podcast on BBC Sounds where they talk through how they came up with the ideas and fun little snippets, though you need to watch each episode first.

No they aren't. They are much better.

However, TOTU were the modern 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents'

Squiblet · 31/03/2023 12:45

Fantastic show! The writing is just so good. The episode "Bernie Clifton's dressing room" is a mini masterpiece of scriptwriting.

Absolutely love this show. Tom and Gerri, Death be not Proud, and the Shakespeare hotel ones are my favourites, though it's hard to choose.

Just watched the Shakespearean one in the hotel - Zanzibar.

They're all so different!

Another big no 9 fan here. Always well crafted, intelligent and great writing in several styles.
Agree, one of the best things on TV.

OhVicIveFallen · 31/03/2023 21:20

Can't wait for series 8, should be out soon.

TulipsLilacs · 31/03/2023 21:22

My favourites are Sardines, 12 Days of Christine and Death be not Proud

Tellmethespoiler · 31/03/2023 21:23

I think it’s a fantastic show. Some episodes are weaker than others, but overall, they are brilliant.

Bbq1 · 31/03/2023 21:26

Never seen it but I love TOTU. So of their time but great little stories with twists. Takes me back to my childhood. I record them on Sky Arts then watch them back. Maybe I should try IN9

YouveGotToGrooveIt · 31/03/2023 21:33

Totally agree.

Also really interesting to listen to their podcast about each episode: Inside Inside No 9.

They point out things I missed when watching.

OhVicIveFallen · 31/03/2023 21:42

Steve won a Bafta for his performance in Bernie Clinton's dressing room. Well deserved.

They've also done episode commentaries on you tube on some of the episodes. If you listen to them in order on the PsychoLeagueno9 channel.there is an overarching story that is very sinister 😲

Cannot recommend it highly enough!

The Zanzibar hotel one left me speechless. Ai clever. Also love The Bill and Bernie Clifton, there have been so many great ones though.
