Inside No. 9 fans praise 'best episode yet'
The latest episode of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's Inside No. 9, which featured the black humour and horror elements of past instalments, has been praised by fans – as usual.
'Once Removed' plays out in reverse, with a series of segments that all start "10 minutes earlier…", smartly keeping each section relatively short so you're never lost by the story.
Here's what Digital Spy thought: "It's a well-constructed tale about the perils of moving house, but as it layers twist upon twist and the jigsaw puzzle of a story comes together, its devious climax will make you want to rewatch immediately."
As ever, fans agreed, with one writing: "Every week I watch Inside no.9 thinking Shearsmith and Pemberton can't pull it out again, but of course they can".

Has each episode of Inside No. 9 got better than the previous one? I thought last week's was a true classic, but this week has topped it. I'm a little scared at how brilliant the show will be by the end of the series!
I can't think of anything better on right now. #InsideNo9- @MikeHollandarts (@MikeHollandarts) January 17, 2018

Once Removed was my favourite #InsideNo9 episode so far of this series. Plot put me in mind of the Brian Clemens thriller The Colour Of Blood. Superb writing & great performances from everyone. Well done.
