What goes on behind closed doors on the street where you live? Inside No. 9 invites viewers into six very different No. 9s, where the ordinary and mundane rub shoulders with the extraordinary and macabre. From a grand country house where a game of ‘sardines’ leads to some chilling revelations in a wardrobe; to a very oddly haunted house; to a blood-soaked actor’s dressing room in London’s West End; to the flat of an apparently happy primary school teacher who becomes the victim of a good deed; these unpredictable tales feature high comedy and claustrophobic horror by turns.
An anthology of tales of the genuinely unexpected, the episode titles are: Sardines, The Harrowing, A Quiet Night In, Last Gasp, The Understudy, and Tom And Gerri.
Sardines: It is the day of Rebecca and Jeremy’s engagement party, and everyone (well, nearly everyone) has turned up to the old house to wish them well. Except that one of the bedrooms – the one with all the old baggage in it – has been left unlocked…
Starring Reece Shearsmith as Stu and Steve Pemberton as Carl. Guest starring Timothy West as Andrew; Anne Reid as Geraldine; Anna Chancellor as Elizabeth; Mark Wootton as Stinky John; Tim Key as Ian; Luke Pasqualino as Kev; Katherine Parkinson as Rebecca; Ophelia Lovibond as Rachel; Julian Rhind-Tutt as Mark; and Ben Willbond as Jeremy.
A Quiet Night In: In this silent farce, we enter the beautiful, modernist home of Gerald & Sabrina… a beautiful home with lots of beautiful things in it. Beautiful things of extreme value. The kind of things that might just become the target of an audacious criminal enterprise. When cat-burglars Ray and Eddie decide to break into the luxury house, they have to dodge all manner of obstacles – including the warring couple that live there – to get their hands on a priceless painting.
Starring Reece Shearsmith as Ray and Steve Pemberton as Eddie. Guest starring Dennis Lawson as Gerald, Oona Chaplin as Sabrina, Joyce Veheary as Kim, and Kayvan Novak as Paul.
