Not trawling the whole thread - but have Ralph Little and Lewis Dunk ever been seen together in the same room ?

Surprised no one has mentioned that this episode was essentially an offshoot of Psychoville:m
Lovely stuff.

Haven't watched yet.. but hearing it has a Psychoville theme is very interesting.
I absolutely loved Psychoville.

I look nothing like him!
The dancing was amongst many highlights for me.

I was considering trying out the carbonara recipe for lunch 
Much preferred Death Be Not Proud to The Referee's A W*nker.
I don't like when shows do football. They so rarely get the tone or language right. Also, it was ludicrously and needlessly over-elaborate - he could've just reffed badly and thrown the game for the team he wanted to win. Didn't need the rest, it felt like they wanted to make a comment about lack of out gay footballers which I understand but overall it felt clever for clever's sake.
Meanwhile, I thought Death Be Not Proud was Shearsmith and Pemberton doing what they do best - bleak, grimy, funny - just like Psychoville and The League of Gentlemen. Again, the twist was a little "meh" but overall I thought it was a very enjoyable episode.

Watched the second episode on demand last night after seeing reports of a surprise, very pleased to see the Psychoville callback
I had completely the opposite opinions on the first 2 episodes. I really enjoyed the referee episode. Granted, it was a little bit contrived but I thought it was very entertaining. I thought the ending was fantastic as I genuinely didn't see what the twist would be.
I was never really a fan of The League of Gentlemen and the couple of episodes of Psychoville I've seen I found quite "meh". So, this week's episode really didn't do anything for me. I thought there would at least be a big twist at the end to make up for it, but there really wasn't. I watch Inside Number 9 for the clever stories, but it was lacking from this episode. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible; but if I wanted an episode of Psychoville, I'd watch Psychoville.
Last night’s episode didn’t do much for me. Maybe I’m missing something.........
I quite enjoyed the imminent sense of doom not quite paying off.
But even in that I thought how they individually dealt with the actual threat was slowly pieced together, was all rather pleasing.

Really warm, very well acted, strong believable dialogue. Abrupt ending, but was ok with that. Not a clever-for-the-sake-of-it storyline like the Football episode, just a well written, well observed situation.
My favourite of the series so far, by some way.

For those who like the series, it is worth listening to the Inside Inside No 9 Podcase that is available on BBC sounds. Steve and Reece talk about how the episode came about and how it filmed etc. Ralf Little guests in the first one. Second one they are really pleased how they managed to do a return to Psychoville without people finding out in advance. Latest one at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p083pr3h
Same, not a great episode.
I could watch Jenna Coleman all day, whatever she was doing.
Latest episode brought to you in association with Mike Leigh...
That’s what I love about this series. They have such a great ability to tell stories across a range of genres. Last week’s was full of laughs whereas this episode was straight drama.

A bleak but well told story, but the twist was fairly obvious. One of those that was a bit more about the journey than the destination. The psychoville one was fantastic; although being a fan of that probably swayed me.
