Inside Number 9

[Elite]

Finally got round to watching this and am on season 2. I have just finished '12 Days of Christine" and wow, thats one of the greatest 30 mins of TV I have ever seen. It's an emotional tornado and my goosebumps are only just beginning to subside.

[Sputnik1]

You'll love 'Riddle of the Sphinx', and yes I agree '12 days of Christine' was one of the best 30 minutes I've watched on terrestrial TV for a long time. 

[Elite]

It was very similar to an episode of Black Mirror.

[Sputnik1]

Yeah I was going to say that but I prefer to compare it all with 'Tales of the unexpected'

 

I used to read a lot of short story horror books years ago and they also remind of them. 

[Dr Nowt]

Inside Number 9 is tremendous, that episode perhaps the best of the lot.

 

When you watch more and more, the range of what they're trying and how they're pushing themselves creatively, and the whole all the little parts add up to, are really impressive.

 

Loads of great ones still to recommend but The Devil Of Christmas is spot on if you've not seen that one yet.

Play For Today, too.

 

Such a talented pair of fuckers. Discovered only recently that The League of Gentlemen was effectively written by 2 two-men teams.

 

Gatiss tended to write his material with Jeremy Dyson, while Shearsmith and Pemberton came as a creative pair even back then.

 

Guess that's part of the reason this and Psychoville work so well.

I have only seen one episode of Season 1 due to being unable to find good links, as only season 2 and 3 are on demand.

 

Very talented duo Pemberton and Shearsmith.

Interesting that as I always assumed they were a trio and was suprised to see Gatiss not involved in their latest stuff.

[Dr Nowt]

Mate, Series 1 was solid right the way through. Maybe only Last Gasp which is so so.

 

Sardines, Tom and Gerri, The Harrowing, all ace with a fully silent slapstick heist episode lobbed in for good measure.

I managed to watch Sardines, which I really enjoyed. I love the way you are always waiting for that sinister twist to unfold.

Same as that, that's what made me look more into it.

 

He's in one episode of Psychoville isn't he, which was what made them decide to do this whole vehicle...it was a homage to Rope by Hitchcock, and they decided to play about with the format.

 

As you do.

I wonder if Gatiss feels a bit left out? He's obviously talented himself as he'll have had some great input into The League of Gentlemen.

[Dr Nowt]

Aye, I'd like to see them all working together again one day as it adds another dimension.

 

He talks about them reforming LoG sometimes, so presume they're all on good terms and had just explored other projects individually.

[Elite]

Maybe Gatiss is feeling a bit like his 'Creme Brulee' character.

Series 1, which i missed first time round, is currently on Gold if you have it, had episode 1 & 2 ladt weekend, which you can still download.

 

The Seance episode was another great one

[The Golden Eel]

Very few misses in the 18 episodes. The karaoke one in series 3 was the only one I didn't really like that much in this series and The Sphinx and the Christmas one are probably the best 2 of any series.

 

I'm not as big a fan of the 12 Days of Christine as most seem to be. I liked it but it's been done loads of times before.

[Total Longo]

The shoe one was quality. I've enjoyed all of this series. And i still think Morgana Robinson is fit.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

i liked the one were no one spoke. great show. 

[Thoth]

Quiet night in is genius in the way it was put together, not massively exciting but brilliant acting with comedy gold moments with the mobile phone ringing 

[Red74]

Are they all individual episodes or do they form parts of a continuing series?

They're all different stories and not connected in any way, except that they have Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton in them

Just watched 'Riddle of the Sphynx'

 

Loved it. Seriously, Shearsmith and Pemberton are geniuses, Black Mirror gets a lot of plaudits but this is on par if nor better.
