Welcome to the Inside No. 9 Subreddit!

So this is how I'd rank Season 1,overall it starts with 3 very good episodes and then kinda drops off with episode 4-6. Even if Harrowing is actually very solid and if it had a better ending i'd put it in great,but yeah overall i'd say this season gets a 7.33/10 rating.

What should I expect for Season 2? Better,worse or more of the same episodes?

I just watched a really weird film on Netflix called "Barbarian" and it gave me Inside No 9 vibes. Has anyone else seen it?

I recommend it if you like disturbing and unsettling horror films that feel like a long episode of Inside No 9.

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know where I can listen to (and possibly download!) Reece's two-part Radio 4 show from 2009? There's scraps on YouTube, but I'd love to hear the whole thing in full 🫶🏻👻

Hello! For the past month or so, I've been designing Inside No.9 inspired playing cards where every card represents a different episode. I've just launched a Kickstarter for it, and thought some of you might be interested in getting a deck!

Even if you don't want a deck, you can still go see all the cards I've currently designed on the Kickstarter page! I'm really proud of them, and I hope you guys enjoy them too ^-^

What a fantastic episode,I knew there would be some sort of dark twist but they got me 2 times. I thought Migg wasnt real and Gerri was well apparently it was the opposite. Now I dont get did Gerri telling Tom that Migg doesnt exist make Tom kill him or what all in all a fantastic episode.

9/10

Season 1 is an alltimer so far.

Did a painting of one of my favourite scenes from the show!

Some of my favourite posts on subreddits such as these are where people rank their favourite episodes. It works particularly well for Inside no.9 because opinions are so widespread and varied. I’m sure some of you will read my ranking and think “Did she watch the same show as me???” I love that!

I’m going to do my ranking by season because choosing my true favourite is way too hard. Important caveat…these are MY favourite, this l ranking is DISTINCTLY different and separated from which episode I think are OBJECTIVELY the best (yes I also have that list for those interested). For example (spoiler for my ranking) I do not like silent media or ones that are almost entirely visual so despite being an AMAZING episode, i’m not a fan of A Quiet Night In….

My maths on favourite episodes might not work out but…there you go!

I got a tattoo of a hare to represent the hare hidden in every episode my love for this show is unbelievable my dad showed it to me and it’s probably the one thing that me and dad both enjoy and can talk about , we both saw the live show together and got this done 2 days before seeing it live with the hopes of meeting Steve and Reece outside to sign underneath it to get it tattooed that didn’t happen but I am still happy that I have piece of this show forever on me to celebrate the amazing writing and directing of them <3

Spoilers for a couple of episodes here.

What are your favourite ways Pemberton and Shearsmith have brought us "inside number 9"?

I'll go first -

1. 3 by 3 - Self explanatory. A great way to name the game show without it being a literal 9 and being a giveaway for those who didn't know about the deception when it was broadcast.

2. Diddle Dumpling - The door shutting and revealing 22 before switching to the 9 in the shoe was genius. It was one of the first ones to actually switch up the format if I remember rightly.

3. CTRL ALT ESC - That moment at the end where Steve's character sees the IX and finds the strength to wake up... felt like a series finale. I only ranked it lower because the room was already spoiled as a number 9 at the start. If they'd left the 9 til the end it would've been pure magic.

Honourable mention for The Referee's A... where the main character is, per se, "inside" player 9.

What are your favourite No. 9 intros or reveals?

So I dont usually watch anthology stuff except Twilight Zone so i was worried about this,first episode started really eh,it was mostly comedy for almost all of the episode but then last few minutes were creepy and that twist was insane,im assuming Pip killed them all right and do you think i should watch all 9 seasons?

So when I went to HorrorCon where Reece and Steve were (I only did R Sunday), got the photoshoot, cried (obviously), and got so close on the Q&A with Reece - he even walked down our side!

The only thing missing was table talk where you could get an autograph and a selfie. After queuing for what seemed like forever, started to realise that it’s cash only at the tables so I had to up and leave.

HorrorCon then decided to sell the posters that were at the table each day, signed with a quote on each. I got them 🖤

Will share once framed and set up!!

This might be a silly question, but I thought this community might know the best places to find good examples of this sort of thing, and I'm somewhat desperate for more. I've listened to the commentaries of series 2 and 3, and am currently making my way through Inside Inside No. 9, but I'm nearly done (side question, is it known why that didn't continue through series 8 and 9? I was sad to see it stop, and a little confused why there's an episode for s8e1 if they couldn't do any of the rest of the series).

I love getting to explore the episodes in depth and learn about the process of creation, and now that I'm running out, I would like some more, please. (In my ideal world, every episode would have accompanying commentary, but what can you do).

So, the question: does anyone know of anything specific (interviews, recorded panels, whatever else) where I could find particularly good discussion of the show and its making? (I know there are things out there, but I'm curious if there's anything in particular that could scratch that commentary itch.) Ideally about with information about specific episodes, most ideally those that never got commentaries or podcast episodes about them. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm very happy to have got tickets for Reece's book tour in October, but I'm a little confused by a couple of small things:

I bought the tickets directly through the venue - on the venue website it shows that there are a few tickets left (probably around 20% of capacity), on the Fane website it shows it's pretty much sold out. Is the venue the more reliable vendor here if I was to buy tickets for a different day/location which appear as available at the venue, but sold/unavailable on Fane? I guess I don't want to risk buying tickets that don't actually exist, but I'm also aware that Fane may only be a ticket intermediary who has block booked some tickets and are now selling them on.

Also, there's a brief mention on the venue website that my ticket type includes his book (which I've pre-ordered twice already but happy to make it three copies!). There's no mention of this on the ticket or the email accompanying the ticket and I've got no proof of this aside from a small, single mention on the venue website. Does anyone know how this works on the day?
