Inside No. 9
An anthology in which each story explores dark themes and occurs inside a mansion, a dressing room or a flat numbered nine.
TV Series 2014 – 2024
9 Seasons – 54 Episodes
Inside No. 9 is an anthology series, with each episode featuring a new story, with a new setting and new characters. Episodes run roughly thirty minutes each, with the self-contained story reaching a conclusion. The stories are linked primarily by the fact that each has an element of the story linked to the number 9, be that a mansion, a dressing room or even a shoe, size 9.
Almost every episode stars Reece Shearsmith or Steve Pemberton, and regularly both. Each episode is effectively a short play. Some episodes take place in real-time, following half an hour in the lives of the characters. Every episode of Inside No. 9 features an ornamental hare somewhere on-screen. According to Pemberton, “Because each episode is so wildly different there was nothing really linking them other than the fact they were all inside a Number Nine, I just thought it would be nice to have an object that you could hide and just have there on every set.” There is, however, no particular significance to the hare itself.
