Formatted as an anthology of various, unconnected stories all taking place in a building, flat or location with the number 9, Inside No.9 is a black comedy that explores some pretty twisted themes, but that hasn't stopped it being a huge success with a cult following.
Each episode features brand-new characters, which means loads of stars have appeared in the show over the years, as well as many prolific writers contributing to the scripts.
Last summer, the final season – season 9 – went out, with six new episodes set in locations varying from an escape room to a train carriage, and a final meta episode taking place at the show's own wrap party.
The story isn't over yet, though, with Pemberton and Shearsmith devising a play of the teleivision series for the West End. Inside No. 9 Stage/Fright debuted at the Wyndham's Theatre on 16th January 2025, and features both Pemberton and Shearsmith in the cast.
