Inside No 9: 3 by 3 "schedule change" - Brekkie - 18-05-2023
The Inside No 9 team at it again - have pushed an On the Buses spoof with Robin Askwith as the episode of the series and replaced "the current episode" with a Lee Mack quiz format called 3 by 3. Been changed on the EPG but should still be caught on the series link. iPlayer description refers to the quiz show replacement.

The 1% Club has obviously had a few budget cuts since the last series!

Brilliant - one of their best.

Anyone know why the episodes were shifted around? Or was that part of it too? I have to take any pres with a pinch of salt when Inside No. 9 is involved...

Some flaws in the format, what happens if a team loses two members and that team gets to the final?
I liked the Pointless inspired set, although think the backdrop was green screen, considering that it looked quite authentic.
Interesting that Shelia Reid is the the next episode. I thought it was strange she’d not been in one yet considering her previous work with Pemberton.

Hmm - I can’t agree with this. It was such a well-observed example of a daytime quiz show that it didn’t feel especially funny to me, nor was the plot especially exciting or unexpected. I actually felt like I watched a 30 minute quiz show to watch a 30 second twist that I’d seen coming for ages!

I read this thread first so before using live rewind (it wasn’t coming up for me on iPlayer right away) , so was constantly waiting for the twist. Although had I been watching live I’d imagine I’d have known it wasn’t real.(18-05-2023, 10:33 PM)Brekkie Wrote: Brilliant - one of their best.

I imagine some of the more casual TV viewers may have fallen for it though.
Lee Mack was brilliant as always.

Completely agree that it wasn’t the most exciting of plots and was basically a standard quiz show until the very end, but I found it weirdly quite a satisfying watch based on how well-observed a clone of the quiz format it was.
They nailed every element of a TV quiz show, down to the promo photo they’re using on iPlayer of Lee Mack on the ‘set’ of the show holding branded question cards. The whole thing was done with a knowing wink to the tropes of the genre and I appreciate the effort that must go into pulling something together that seems so authentic - it’s the kind of thing that I imagine people in the industry will enjoy hugely.

It just didn’t do it for me as an episode of Inside No. 9. It was certainly not a difficult or dull watch, and it was cleverly done.

I think this is the first episode where neither Pemberton nor Shearsmith have appeared at all?
