“Inside No 9 bowed out with a touching ode to the friendship between its co-creators – all wrapped up inside a cynical showbiz satire, naturally.”
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph

“Is it too quickly to counsel that the ultimate episode of Inside No 9 would possibly simply be among the many most satisfying climaxes in TV historical past? In fact it’s, sure. However, ‘Plodding Alongside’ noticed Inside No 9 bow out in essentially the most splendidly meta means, the ultimate ever episode was bliss.”

“I by no means doubted for a second that the final episode of Inside No 9 (sob) could be sensible. However I didn’t count on it to be fairly that sensible. I didn’t count on a sequence lauded for its fiendish genius and pitch-black comedy to be so exquisitely self-deprecating in its ultimate (half) hour. And so tender, really.”

“The excellent news is that this second half of the sequence is a lot better than the primary, weaving within the risk that Penelope’s secret that she is the gossip diarist Woman Whistledown is about to be uncovered when the Queen provides a money reward for her actual identification. This a rollicking, uplifting story with nice costumes. A fourth sequence feels nailed on.”

“Other than Penelope’s heaving bosom, this third sequence stays a dud. Her in depth intercourse scene with Colin has a cringe-making high quality – assume EL James’ Fifty Shades with all the horrible dialogue however not one of the nipple clamps.”

“Your enjoyment of this sequence could also be severely hampered by the truth that it has already been proven in America and its twists and turns duly reported in British newspapers, so it’s possible you’ll know Bercow and the others’ destiny. It is also hampered by the truth that it isn’t, in my view, a patch on the British model.”
