# Inside No. 9

Inside No. 9 è una serie televisiva antologica britannica di genere commedia nera.
La serie è stata ideata da Reece Shearsmith e Steve Pemberton, già membri del gruppo The League of Gentlemen, i quali interpretano anche alcuni personaggi che compaiono negli episodi, è trasmessa su BBC Two dal 5 febbraio 2014. Sono state prodotte otto stagioni da sei episodi ciascuna e la serie è stata confermata per una nona stagione, tuttora in onda, che è anche l'ultima stagione.

## Format

Ogni episodio narra una storia autonoma, con personaggi e situazioni diverse, il cui unico filo comune è rappresentato dal fatto che gli eventi accadono all'interno di case, stanze, locali, vagoni e così via contrassegnati dal «numero 9». Le storie sono tutte cupamente umoristiche con colpi di scena inaspettati, e tutti gli episodi si svolgono in un ambiente ristretto per comunicare una sensazione di claustrofobia e intensità.
L'idea della serie è nata grazie al quarto episodio di Psychoville, la precedente serie creata dai due autori. Tale episodio, che vedeva come ospite Mark Gatiss (anche lui ex membro del gruppo The League of Gentlemen), era stato girato interamente all'interno di una stanza, per un totale di due sequenze, come omaggio al film Nodo alla gola di Alfred Hitchcock.
