Sheridan Smith absolutely wows in the tale of a woman wooed by a firefighter. Like all the best Inside No. 9 twists, you don’t see this coming. It’s simply devastating, and has it all – a tug on the heartstrings, a few unsettling sinister moments, and then a giant heave of the rug from under you. Face it, this is better than most films.
Perhaps a controversial pick, but the gut punch at the end of this episode hits different. Migg is the perfect weird one-off character, and the setup is dangerously close to home after a few too many national lockdowns. Gemma Arterton is great, and the episode lets you know exactly how dark the whole show can get.
A group of friends argue over who’s going to pay the bill. We’ve all been there, but it’s never gone this wrong. Set in a single location, you don’t exactly know where it’s going, but Philip Glenister is there. That’s what we’re here for.
Krammpusssss! The main plot would be creepy enough, but throw in the murderous voiceover and it’s a gory Christmas treat.
As a sucker for the emotional manipulation the show is so good at, this had to be high up. Two magicians reunite to try and get the show back on the road. The budget setting makes you feel like you’re at school while watching it. If only they showed this on the wheel-in tellies.
Two burglars creep around in silence while a couple argue – an outstanding concept, tense and mischievous, and played out to the full. A great episode that doesn’t feel like any other.
A man’s obsession with a shoe takes over his life. Firstly, anything with Keeley Hawes is going to be good. But this is actually great in its own right – a suburban horror story, complete with the requisite feelings of doom and paranoia.
If you thought this wouldn’t work, you’re forgiven. Neither did I. And yet it really did – even down to the fake error message. A live triumph.
For a show that does creeping suburbia so well, this is perhaps the most insidious example. A wedding photographer in an unhappy marriage has a dark secret. Some episodes leave a nice feeling when they end. This one just leaves you feeling a bit wrong. As it should.
Somehow doing a whole heist episode without showing the actual heist just works. It’s self-referential, fourth wall breaking, but in a smart way.

- Wise Owl (Series 7, Episode 6) ‘Wise Owl’ has many of the same ingredients as other great episodes of Inside No. 9; emotional resonance, dark revelations, some seriously creepy sequences, and a brilliant performance from Shearsmith in the lead role.
- The Devil of Christmas (Series 3, Episode 1) Inside No. 9 is, according to the label, a comedy, and that is one reason we have favoured episodes that are really funny for our top spots. ‘
- Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (Series 4, Episode 2) They say “write what you know”, and if there’s one thing Pemberton and Shearsmith know it must be the life of a comedy double act.

Jun 2, 2021 · Séance Time. Season: 2 Episode: 6 Location: Victoria villa Inside No 9 loves to end its seasons with a solid dose of scares, and Season 2 is no exception.
