On a related note does anyone here remember Steve Coogan's Doctor Terrible's House of Horrible from about 15 years ago?
It is the most similar thing to this that I can think of but it was a series rather than a one-off. It didn't work quite as well as this in the execution, probably because they overdid it with the ham, but I'd still recommend anyone to seek it out as it was still pretty good and quite similar to this episode of Inside No. 9. |

This was fabulous, it really captured the genre well, the devil was definitely all in the detail.
Little things like cameras and boom mikes coming into shot; Pemberton going to slip his hand into his pocket and missing, eventually getting it in on the third attempt; lip-gloss on the female leads; rubbish acting from the child actor; the glare effect of naked flames on, presumably, videotape; then the stock external footage on film... Brilliant. |

Just watched again. I loved the bit where Rula Lenska ran out of stairs.
Mirrored when Steve Pemberton wakes up towards the end and realises Jessica Raine isn't in bed and goes to find her. He walks down the corridor and turns to walk down stairs - it looks as if he does that comedy down stairs walk until the next shot when he is actually walking down stairs. Brilliant. |

Loved it. Rula Lenska's character running out of stairs to walk up, and the pet hate about characters carrying empty suitcases were just a few of many laugh out loud comments.

Only as a bit part actor in one episode. A bit before his 'time'.
I did love how Coogan's series gave plenty of nods to the many film and TV roots each episode paid homage to. |

He had a couple of series of The League of Gentlemen under his belt by the time DTHoH came about.

This episode of Inside No 9, was done in the 70's style of Tales Of The Unexpected..... and i also related Thriller and Armchair Thriller to it. |

The episode Gatiss was in was partly inspired by the Doctor Who story The Talons of Weng-Chiang

Not really...... Acorn Antiques was a parody of soaps, mainly Crossroads.

For example, the street where the Chinese criminal's hideout was, is called 'Talons St.'
