I think it's a terrible shame...


that this show is not doing well in the ratings department. I don't know why it's been getting such low ratings as of late, especially considering the previous shows in which Pemberton and Shearsmith were involved in. These guys are so wonderfully inventive in pretty much everything they do and it's a real shame to see that their newest series and creation is not doing well at all.

It would be terrible if this didn't come back for another series. In actual fact as long as Steve and Reece can keep the high quality they have done with their writing for years now, then I can see this running for a good few series' like a darkly comic Tales Of The Unexpected
I thought I wasn't going to get into it at first but it's been highly innovative bordering on genius. The quality of the scripts and Steve and Reece back on top of their game is great to see. And they haven't forgot the "funny" and ordinary observations in humour too.
It works a treat. They have to keep making this. It's got so much more breadth.

Absolutely! I TRULY hope that we get at least another season of the show. Hopefully the final episode of the series does a little bit better in the ratings.

A second series has been confirmed, see here: http://www.comedy.co.uk/news/story/000001356/bbc_two_series_2_inside_n o_9_shearsmith_pemberton/

Really glad too! With the exception of the 4th episode, I loved this series. Was really glad to see Shearsmith & Pemberton working on something new!

Yes it is great. But the only thing that concerns me is, due to the poor ratings of the show's first season, will the BBC now decide to perhaps scrap plans for series 2?
