She is also one of the main people in 'This Is Jinsy'. A show that the BBC passed on and Sky Atlantic took it on.

Absolutely superb slightly surreal comedy about an island state which is almost 1984 in the way it is run.

A shame it isn't more widely known especially as the two main writers/actors have seemingly popped up from nowhere.

Two more commentaries have been added to Soundcloud by Steve & Reece:

My order of episodes for the series would be as follows -

The 12 Days of Christine.
Cold Comfort.
Seance Time.
La Couchette.
Nana's Party.
The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge.

The commentaries are excellent, they've done all 6 now. The last one for Seance Time is particularly brilliant as Steve appeared to walk out and pretended to "kill" Reece with a chainsaw, the fact that no could actually see what was happening was great. Very unexpected and has been on my mind since. That's how good these guys are. Geniuses.

Thanks for that
I listened to The Seance commentary and just now 12 days of Christine

First series repeats start tonight at 11pm on GOLD.

Thanks for the heads-up (for both this and The Wrong Mans). I knew this was a pet favourite on DS but I didn't think much of the episode that's just finished. It wasn't especially dark/disturbing nor funny.

I've read the first couple of pages and it's not surprising to see all the pretentious "ooh terrific writing that rewards those that pay attention" type comments.

Fantastic news.

The British Comedy Guide understands that BBC Two has given the go-ahead for a third series of Inside No. 9.

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's dark anthology series delivers a unique setting, story and characters in each episode. The only linking item between each edition is that '9' is the number of the setting: be it a house, room, cubicle, compartment, or flat.

Running for two series to date on BBC Two, news of a Series 3 commission has yet to be confirmed by the corporation, but The British Comedy Guide understands that writers and stars Shearsmith and Pemberton are already working on the new series.

Reece Shearsmith is currently starring in Hangmen, a play at The Royal Court Theatre in London. However, when the play transfers to Wyndham's Theatre in the West End in December, Shearsmith will reportedly be leaving the cast so he can work on Inside No. 9.

News of the show's return will not come as a surprise to many, as Series 2 - broadcast in March and April 2015 - was widely praised by both viewers and critics. The Radio Times called the show "utterly superb"; The Observer commented each episode was a "perfect little half-hour"; and The Times noted "although every single episode in this series is completely different, somehow Messrs Pemberton and Shearsmith manage to score one bullseye after another."

The 12 Days Of Christine - a tense, highly emotional drama in Series 2 guest starring Sheridan Smith - was particularly lauded by the press, with, for example, The Independent labelling the episode "one of the best pieces of television for years."

Inside No. 9 is expected to do well in the forthcoming TV awards season. Last month at the BBC Production Awards, Sir David Jason presented the show with an award for Programme of the Year. Executive Producer Jon Plowman said at the time: "It is thrilling to have made the programme of the year and to have been allowed to make a programme that is indefinable in terms of its genre."

There are no details yet about what the new stories may be about, however speaking to The British Comedy Guide in an interview earlier this year, Pemberton said: "You go into a new series of Inside No. 9 with literally everything to play for. We're not wedded to any characters, we're not worried about story arcs... Reece and I can sit down and go 'right, what are we going to do?'.

"We just write them one at a time; it's not like we map out all six at the beginning. We just settle on one idea, and then write it. Once you get into that rhythm the ideas will come. Sometimes you can go up a blind alley, but we've been very lucky in our relationship with [Executive Producer] Jon Plowman and [Producer] Adam Tandy at the BBC in that they've left us alone to write."

He added: "How the hell we'd top what we did in Series 2 and Series 1 I don't know, but I very much hope we'd be given the opportunity to try."

The BBC is expected to confirm details of Inside No. 9 Series 3 later in the year.

Fantastic news if true, Have faith in these 2 that a 3rd series won't be one too many

Being a lover of ghostly, dark and twisted things more so at Christmas than Halloween (thank you M.R. James), this is right up my creeky attic - Inside No.9: the Devil at Christmas.

I'm pleased to read that it revolves around the myth of Krampus.
It's on tonight at 10pm, BBC2.

On a side note, I always thought that the writers of Doctor Who missed a trick not doing a Krampus story as one of their Christmas Specials. Oh well.

Tonight 10pm a new episode

I think it has Walliams in which is a tad annoying

He's in another Christmas show????? That must be about 6 shows.

Eating an onion as if it were an apple.

Nice LOG reference

This is reminding me of Tales of the Unexpected from the 70's. Bad acting and wobbling sets - does anyone remember that?

Wtf!?

Was not expecting that ending!

LOL! It was a snuff movie!

So it was a snuff movie and the 'directors commentary' was actually a police interview

Superb, as ever.

....or Crossroads

The switch from charming 1970s nostalgic BBC kitsch to sheer brutality was inspired.

I just love this series and that was the best thing I've seen over Christmas by a long chalk. It was good they also resisted the temptation to extend the running time and just kept it to a lean 30 minutes.

Good grief

Those 2 never disappoint.

That was very good. An interesting twist at the end.

Spot on. I miss those shows.

He wasn't in it Unless it's the new year series

Predicted the twist as soon as the director first interceded.
