Inside No 9 - BBC 2

[ajprice]

Starts tonight.

Comedy series from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith (League of Gentlemen). I've seen the ads for it and it does look promising, the cast list for tonight's is just about everybody, ever .

Wednesdays, 10pm BBC2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03tvq6m

Not what I expected, but yeah I liked it.

I thought the same thing about the ending lastnight, not so much of a twist as the others.

The new one was very good, the silent episode with the burglars is still my favourite though

[ajprice]

Just watched it now. Wow. Best half hour of TV I've seen for a long while.

[ajprice]

Just watched it again. The scene changes happen with the heartbeat and beep sounds, and there are blue lights a few times through the episode. Clever.

[ajprice]

Just watched Cold Comfort, very good one. The split camera views was well done. I think its another one to watch again now that I know what happens. The 4 so far have all been good for different reasons, I hope they do another series after this one.

[ajprice]

I liked that one, wasn't sure what was happening at first, then it kicked in. The half hour must have flown by because it seemed short (not a dwarf joke ).

[ajprice]

No dates yet but series 3 is coming this year http://www.cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/inside-no-...

[ajprice]

Still no dates, but they've announced some cast and settings.

http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/inside-no-9/37310/insi...

Felicity Kendal, Fiona Shaw, Jason Watkins, Keeley Hawes, Jessica Raine, Rula Lenska, Mathew Baynton, Philip Glenister, Sarah Hadland, Javone Prince, Montserrat Lombard, Morgana Robinson, Alexandra Roach and Tamzin Outhwaite.

A restaurant after closing time, an art gallery, and an alpine chalet in 1978.

Watched it and recorded it to watch again. Very nicely done, it all looked 70's, down to the camera effect when it panned past the candles at the beginning. Shades of Garth Merenghi's Darkplace too (in a good way, not a rip off way). Looking forward to series 3

[ajprice]

Series 3 starts next Tuesday 9pm http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/tv/inside-no9/47265/in...

[ajprice]

Great setup, didn't see the end coming either. Didn't spot the hare ornament anywhere , Recorded it too so I'll look out for it second time around watching that.

My new favourite word is bluecock

That was a good one, seemingly innocent at the start and then goes down the dark road.

The final zomm on the photograph went straight over my head. Anyone care to explain in a spoiler wrapper?

Likewise.. not sure I saw it quite right but if I did: It looked like him placing the shoe there himself while out on his morning run, so he was pretty mentally ill all the way through and it was just a long drawn out process before he snapped and killed the chap that took the shoe. I got the feeling he just needed the singular shoe in his life to remind him of the child (twin) they lost

ALthough I could well be wrong, and someone will explain it far better than I!

That was the CCTV in the end credits, the last shot zooming in on the photos moves down to his shoes.

He was mentally ill, he said he went to Norfolk to Ted but couldn't remember what he did, so did he kill Ted, or did he kill his daughter so that she was 'together again' with her twin?

I realise he's wearing the shoes, some time ago as he has both twins on his knees. So assuming Reece Shearsmith placed the shoe in the street, how did Ted come to possess the matching other, hear about the reward, make his way from some distance away, then get traced home and murdered (?), or was the daughter killed? if you could expand WW I would be grateful.

His wife bought a pair of the same shoes and set it up with Ted who was a friend of hers in the old photos to bring the matching shoe back to get him off being fixated with the missing one, later he found the shoe shop receipt for the size 9 slip ons and confronted her.
