Inside No 9: dark, funny and totally riveting – this is the best comedy the UK has ever created

The ninth and final series of the ever-inventive black comedy is packed with stars and cements its status as a classic. It's such a shock America hasn't tried to copy it yet

Oh, so weird. I thought they were meant to be more careful with these. Anyway I've been given a leaked script from the new – and final – series of Inside No 9 (8 May, 10pm, BBC Two), so I suppose it is my duty as a journalist to publicly leak it. Shame to spoil the series but that is part of the job. I take no pleasure in reporting this.

STEVE PEMBERTON DRESSED AS A WOMAN: Ooh, are we doing a growing sense of horror in this one or a ludicrous farce? Oooooh!
