some of the episodes are very funny but mistake to go in expecting to be rib tickled - most episodes are more about the horror/twists/mystery than the humour, some are very dark and not in the least funny and not meant to be.
not seen last nights yet, but I thought series 8 was consistently the highest quality they have done (although there were better individual episodes previously)
In December 2014, Metro television critic Keith Watson named Inside No. 9 the twentieth best television programme of 2014 and in January 2015, Daily Star Sunday columnist Garry Bushell named Inside No. 9 the best comedy TV programme of 2014.
I think some episodes of Inside No 9 are amongst the best things I've seen on TV. The silent art heist, 12 Days of Christine and the Krampus one spring to mind.
Reece Shearsmith’s performance in Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room was stunning. Starts off as if Cheese was a mere Syd Little but as his reminiscences develop shows Cheese had some decent enough chops. So subtle.
Agree that 12 days of chrisine and Bernie clifton are the best episodes but my personal favourites for sheer enjoyment are the crossword one and dinner bill one.
the one in the hotel corridor remains my fav...also that weird one in the primary school with the pagan stuff. I didn't even know the final series was on currently, it always seems to slip beneath the radar.
oh that pretend quiz show one with lee mack was a work of genius too.
It was similar to the one with the boy band singer who drove a daughter to suicide - the one with the concrete bath/insectivoration.
Am still hoping they copy Fat Tulip and have one inside a no. 6 where the number has rotated into a 9. With all sorts of offbeat shenanigans as a result.
I wonder how the last episode will play out. I feel like they're going to do something weird and meta, like an episode that carries on on YouTube forever and doesn't end or something

It’s a mix of above average, brilliant in some eps and a few clangers

12 Days of Christine is a genuine work of art. Incredibly powerful.

A Quiet Night In? This is one of my favourite episodes. Not a second is wasted.

Try Le Couchette, Wang. It’s one of my favourites.
If you don’t laugh at that then who even are you?
I’ve also bagged some tickets for March. Even more excited about this than seenSteve Coogan/Armando Ianucci taking on Dr Strangelove in November.

Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room is my favourite.
But I love Christine too.

Le Couchette and Sardines are probably the funniest ones, it was more of a comedy show in the early series.

Some disturbingly dark ones.
The one with the owl.

Primary school one was way too close to Wicker Man for my liking, did not have anything like as much originality as most of the others.

Thought they were phoning it in a bit with this week’s… sure they’ve also done the basic plot before.

Quiz show one was amazing. As was the final one in the last series about the gay couple in the countryside. Insanely dark.
Didn’t love the train carriage one at the start of this season. Great cast, weak ending.

This week went too dark too soon.
Was like the last 5 minutes of the Blue Jean Baby one but over a whole episode

Just caught up on last week and enjoyed the whole filming it from the doorbell camera. Also didn't see the final twist coming.
