4.0 out of 5 star rating Inside No. 9 is an impressive showcase for creators Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, proving them more than capable of writing and acting across a wide variety of genres, from unnerving horror to slapstick comedy. While not every episode has been solid gold, the duo consistently rise to the challenge of crafting a satisfying 30-minute story, set within the confines of a single location. Indeed, any concern that the working partners could be short of ideas going into their sixth series is thoroughly dispelled by Wuthering Heist. Advertisement This opener falls firmly onto the comedic end of Inside No. 9‘s storytelling spectrum, putting a farcical spin on the heist movie format with some classical inspiration mixed in for good measure. The tone is established immediately as foolish Arlo (Kevin Bishop) arrives at a Reservoir Dogs-style warehouse, where he and his criminal associates are planning an elaborate diamond theft. If you enjoy when Shearsmith and Pemberton go dark, there’s very little of that here – but of course, the beauty of this show is that next week always offers something completely different.
