You could put something in the champagne, you could have this mud bath that would dry and that you would be surrounded by lots of awful creepy crawlies and that’s set up right at the beginning. When we come, there are ants crawling all over the place.

This book is a compilation of the scripts from the first 18 episodes of the series, aka series 1-3. There are some real standouts in this collection that I loved reading just as much as watching. Quiet Night In is a fantastic episode containing almost no sound or dialog at all, so reading the script for it was particularly fascinating. It was fun to figure out how they went to a script full of descriptions to the final product on TV, and I loved it. The Understudy is another great one that honestly would have been a perfect short story if it was published years ago. The host is Wise Owl, who must always be trusted and listened to, who teaches kids that pylons are dangerous (the actual public information video this particular short is aping was live action and involved a kid flying a kite near electricity pylons and getting fried. It’s still troubling today.) Don’t be a ‘twit-you’ runs Owl’s catch phrase. But as the show progresses it becomes increasingly apparent there’s an added darkness to “Wise Owl”. Shearsmith does misery well, and Ronnie is at peak despair. Wise Owl’s videos, which ring with the voices of a little girl and a little boy (voiced by Isabelle Pratt and Dylan Hall), begin to tell the story of a brother and sister. There’s a fire on the girl’s birthday. There’s a funeral. There are parents who blame the little boy. David (Shearsmith), a stay-at-home dad, finds a man's shoe while out jogging. He becomes fixated on finding the shoe's owner, straining his relationship with his wife Louise ( Keeley Hawes).From the tear-jerking ”12 Days Of Christine” to their humorous turn as two Witchfinders in ”The Trial Of Elizabeth Gadge”, there is a No.9 story to evoke every emotion. Filled with the show’s dark humour and behind-the-scenes photographs, production stills, mood boards and concept drawings, you’ll find yourself delighted and disturbed in equal measure. Every episode from the first five series will be covered by interviews with key creatives and discussion of the inspiration and creation behind every moment.

This book serves as a companion to the BBC comedy series Inside No.9 and considering this is one of my favourite shows on T.V, this book was never going to disappoint me. However, I think it also serves as a great source of inspiration for anybody studying the craft of script writing or are just intrigued by it, so my review here is split into two parts. a b Billen, Andrew (20 February 2014).

He enjoyed his fried breakfasts, kept his childhood friends, loved visiting his mum. I suppose its only logical that at least a basic rundown of each episode is presented at the start of the relevant section but, nevertheless, I did roll my eyes a bit at how much is about the basic storyline of each episode. Obviously I'm familiar with the storylines - if I didn't enjoy the show and thus know what the episodes are about, then I wouldn't have bothered to spend money to read the book but to be fair, I suppose it would maybe be a bit strange to discuss any episode without saying anything about what happens. I did find myself skim reading a little bit when there were multiple paragraphs about the different sub-plots. The Comedy.co.uk Awards 2014". British Comedy Guide. 26 January 2015.
