A piece of television that keeps you awake during the night, that has taken your reason out for a long walk and left it at the roadside attached to a pole and driven off at high speed, is to be congratulated for the sheer audacity in which it has been conceived and executed.

It’s too late to ask your parents to reveal their secrets when they have left this mortal coil, but what lengths would you go to ask them for the truth when they are in Heaven or Hell, or the Limbo in between.
In typical resounding style, Inside No.9’s Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith take the opportunity to delve into the realm of the nightmare and the visionary in the latest episode of the successfully long running series, wonderfully titled, Mother’s Ruin.

To take risks is every artist’s right, and whilst there will be those that don’t appreciate the gamble, preferring instead to instruct the artist to stick to what they do best, or to translate, what the observer can comfortably comprehend, the reward received is great indeed, and can bring the artist’s talents in to even sharper, more critical view.

There is something quite wonderfully chilling in having Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton back on television together. Even without their League of Gentlemen co-star Mark Gatiss around, the chemistry, the pleasing abundance of visual darkness and comedy that filters through to make great and worthy programmes is enough to make you weep tears of joy as you become yet again embroiled into their latest world.
