Inside No. 9: Collector's Edition: The Scripts: Series 1-3

Product Information

A 2018 live special received particular praise for its unusual and creative format. The episode, described as "astonishingly bold and ambitious" by reviewer Sean O'Grady, [65] appeared to suffer technical difficulties within its first 9 minutes of broadcast. [66] The difficulties, including the continuity announcer's voiceover, were in-fact part of the programme's plot, which centred on the premise that the studios in which the episode were being filmed were haunted. [66] Around 20% of the audience reportedly switched off before the deception became apparent. [66] The plot included a number of features playing with the live format, including Shearsmith and Pemberton watching the live broadcast, and Shearsmith sending a Tweet during the show.

I’d like to forget all the time spent trying to be like others. Singing along to “Don’t Stop Me Now” or “Money for Nothing” at parties. Eating kebabs. Watching Jerry Springer. A consciousness polluted with shit I don’t necessarily dislike–or didn’t at first–but I certainly didn’t understand it, and grew to resent how much time I was meant to spend around it.
