Loved it....I did think uh oh when they chained her to the bed (it reminded me of the episode where the people were held on a bed and they had to keep finding someone new)....thinking something grim was about to happen, then nice reveal at the end.
Edit: ep 6 series 1 The Harrowing |

This is reminding me of Tales of the Unexpected from the 70's. Bad acting and wobbling sets - does anyone remember that?
As for tonight's Inside Number 9 - good fun. Pemberton and Shearsmith always trying to do something different with this series. |

Yes: they got that corny acting spot on! Very good

A very clever set-up - enjoyed that a lot. One of the better episodes - which is saying something.
Looking forward to the new series - it really is one of the better BBC offerings in recent years. |

was that supposed to be funny in a trendy smart arse way? They're not supposed to be comedy shows. They are more like traditional horror dramas with a bit of comedy dialogue here and there which is incidental. The humour is meant to be mild and subtle. |

Steve Pemberton's wig has popped up in lots of his comedies since The League of Gentlemen.

Shades of Garth Merenghi's Dark Place with its clever fake-retro production.

And for those that thought it was crap, the beauty of Inside No. 9 is that it is a completely different set of characters and story each week, so there's always another episode you might like better. |

I feel they were trying too hard, I liked the 70s look and the ropey dialogue, but the snuff movie add-on was a bit too macabre.
That harsh studio lighting and the streaking when the camera moved on a candle was recreated to perfection. |

(The other episode, by the way, was called "The Bill" and I loved it - keep an eye out for it when it hits our screens!) |

I think they over-did the 70's thing, with the ropey dialogue and acting, I was busy writing a moaning post about it in my head as it aired
![]() Not bad though, might even get round to watching the other 2 series that are sitting in my archive. |

I thought it was fantastic and the twist at the end actually made me gasp
![]() Really looking forward to the new series. The roll-call of guest stars, which includes Felicity Kendal, Sarah Hadland, Jason Watkins, Philip Glenister and Keeley Hawes, looks as impressive as ever. On a side note, any first time viewers last night should search out the 12 Days of Christine from Series 2. One of the most stunning half an hours of television I've ever watched. EDIT Forgot to say, my favourite joke from last night was Pemberton getting out of the shower with soaking wet hair after hearing his wife's scream, only to bustle into the room five seconds later with perfectly coiffured hair. |

I loved it right from the beginning. The Devil of Christmas in red over a snow covered alpine village with the whistling wind - I felt transported back to watching horror stories in my youth.
I didn't see the end twist coming, macabre in the extreme. It looked great, very reminiscent of Tales of the Unexpected - I still remember the Monkey's Paw very clearly. Easily my favourite thing on tv this Christmas. Looking forward to the new series. |

well of course I just loved the references to 70s style tv making , and the acting was great (great danger of being too-acorn-antiques) , but I felt the ending was a bit weak and it didn't make any sense - I mean why and how go to all that trouble to murder someone ?

did Jessica Raine remind anyone of actresses from the era being spoofed? For me it was Susan Penhaligon i kept being reminded of. She was always in these sort of hammy vampire/ghost/horror stories. She did 2 Tales of the Unexpecteds it seems
