'A Quiet Night In' is the second episode of the first series of Inside No 9. Almost completely free of dialogue, it's the slapstick story of a domestic art heist, which takes place in the home of a couple experiencing some challenges in their relationship.

In this podcast we get into the nuts and bolts of the episode, and propose that beneath the simple exterior, there is a lot going on.

We're introduced to Container No 9, inside which an incredible magic trick is being shown off for the first time by Willy Wondo. What happens that evening becomes a mystery, until 9 years later when the Big Reveal finally happens.

Moving house is a nightmare, though only 32nd on the list of most stressful events. The three most stressful events are the death of a spouse, divorce, and imprisonment. But you wouldn't normally expect any of that stuff to happen on moving day, so this should be pretty straight forward, right?

We visit Hotel Zanzibar, and see
a plot of twists and turns from Steve and Reece.
30 minutes spent on the corridor,
betrayal, farce, and love on the ninth floor
a story told through the rhyming couplet
like a Shakespeare play, with intrigue afoot.
And so the rhymes, here will now end from me,
Just one question left to ask: poo or wee?

This is our first peak into the worlds that Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith have created for Inside No. 9. It's bizarre, it's weird, but it also seems to make a lot of sense.

We take a fresh look at Sardines; the ultimate 'bottle show', set in a wardrobe, inside a room, in a big country house. At an engagement party there is a game of Sardines being played, and as guests cram into the closet, past traumas have been reignited.

Come on, in you get. Let's see what's inside no. 9 this week...

We're Andy and Steve, and we've been wanting to listen to a podcast about Inside No. 9. We've searched for one, but been unsuccessful in our endeavours.

So we're starting one...

Over the coming weeks and months we invite you to watch or re-watch the show with us. We will be going through episode by episode; delving into the dark, the odd, and the delightful.

In this introduction show we explain a little more about why we're doing this. And why now.

It's the final game of the season, and the last time Martin Rutherford will take to the pitch in a long, respected, and professional career as a football referee. There's a lot riding on this game between Rovers and United. United are playing for promotion, and Rovers to avoid relegation.

With a good clean game with plenty of flow and the focus on the football, all played within the laws of the game, there's no reason they can't have a fitting, dignified, trouble-free end to the season...

In this episode we look back at Series 1 of Inside No. 9 and reflect on things like:

• Favourite episode
• Least most favourite episode
• Funniest moment
• Most disturbing moment
• And what we've enjoyed about putting together the podcast

We would love to hear your thoughts too. Thanks so much to everyone who has jumped on board this train over the past few months. We're having a great time! And talking of trains, we look forward to getting into Series Two next time, with a hope inside La Couchette.

See you on the other side!

We're looking through Series 6 again because the script book could tell us some new things about it. We'll be trying to pick up on things we missed first time round, and sharing new revelations (and ridiculous theories) brought to light by the books. We might need your help.

The sun has set on Series 6 of Inside No 9, and we're enjoying the chance to go back in and have another nibble, so we can properly digest the episodes. We return this week with a more relaxed canter through the show.

Starting with a deeper peer into the onion of the wonderful, Wuthering Heist.

Chrissie meets Adam at a New Year's Eve Party, and chooses to bring him back to her flat (not John Lennon/Harry Potter). From that night onwards, her life appears to fall apart. 

The most powerfully emotive episode of Inside No. 9 so far. We are very aware of the place this has in many listener's hearts. Ours too. We hope we've done it justice on our first trip through the onion...we experienced the full force of the onion this week.

Dr Parkway's late wife booked him in for a champing stay in an old church. He wants to be left to his thoughts and memories, but unfortunately for him, a plethora of characters just won't let him have a moment's peace. It turns out the stories were perhaps trying to warn him...but about what?

Driving home one stormy night, a poorly educated therapist sees a potential new client alone on a bridge, contemplating whatever he is contemplating. The therapist pulls the lever and stops his car, taking the stranger home to help him dry out and warm up. What would have happened if he'd succumbed to the bystander effect like everyone else and let things play out as they were going to?

Fancy spending a quiet Christmas inside No 9 with us?

This year has been challenging, so we wanted to bring some cheer into your ears. This is a one-off special which you can listen to on a special day. Eat it all in one go or save some for later. It's up to you...

We had a bunch of questions mailed to us, so we spend a couple of hours answering them while sipping on a beer. 

Hey listener, thanks for being one of the best parts of our year.

Variety duo Cheese and Crackers, following a split in their 70's/80's hay day, decide to get together for one last exclusive gig. But it turns out, they don't both have their heart in it.

Tony owns the role of Macbeth at the Duke of Cambridge Theatre. He never takes a day off. Jim is the understudy. But he just doesn't seem to want the success he is destined for as much as other people in his life. The story of a fallen king on the battlements that mirrors elements of the plays they are performing in.

We muddle our way through this one with limited background in Shakespeare, fuelled by a deep appreciation of the performances.

We went to Wyndham's Theatre on Saturday 22nd February 2025 for the matinee performance of Stage/Fright. We recorded this episode on Sunday 23rd, while our thoughts were still fresh but waited until the end of this initial run before publishing. They are touring it later in the year, but we won't wait until that finishes. If you want to go to see that tour and you want to avoid spoilers, please DON'T LISTEN until you've been to see it!

A huge thanks to Winter Soul Witch for their comprehensive breakdown of the play (https://www.tumblr.com/wintersoulwitch) - it was unbelievably useful, especially for the second half!
