I know, right? It surprises me that no-one else seems to talk about it, especially when Black Mirror is so popular. Different shows, I know, but it proves there's a taste for British dark humour, anthologies and twists. Maybe the rest of the world will eventually catch on.

WeeLin I am from the states and love this type of British work. I actually think on the whole, inside number nine has a better overall videography than Black Mirror which is one of my favorite shows ever. Almost every episode of Inside no.9 is worth viewing and some of them are absolute treasures. Indeed, like ‘ The 12 days of Christine’ as you presented here so perfectly. What’s more, I’ve not seen anyone who has talked about it that actually dislikes it. I think it is just that people do not realize there is a show out there that’s this great. If this was on Netflix it would be a smash hit. The popular KZfaq channel ‘Inside a Mind’ did a feature on it labeled “A Show Better Than Black Mirror? of which everyone loved. Hopefully one day it will get it’s just dues. Right now it is a cult favorite. I know my jaw was on the floor several times! BTW: did you watch IN9 Live episode? I heard it was really good but I didn’t see it live. Can you only view it live or can you still watch it and get the same affect on replay? Thanks if you know and awesome work here!

@@WeeLin That's the measure of brilliant writing like 'Inside Number Nine' - the scripts are so clever and multi layered they actually improve with repeated viewings! I found this one almost unbearably moving, especially watching it after the premature death of a friend. I think we have all wondered what our final moments will be like - and how death was experienced by loved ones who've gone before us. The 'life flashing before you' thing is a cliché of course, but it's perfectly feasible. In certain circumstances (like a traumatic accident) your consciousness would hit many different levels and you'd have all kinds of dreams and recollections from many different stages of your life. It's an intriguing thought, but also an unsettling one! The big mystery that is only revealed to us at the point of no return.

Most of the time, I'm a manly man. When Christine said "I know what this is now", I was not. There are very few times TV has brought me to tears, the only other time I can remember was when I had hormones running through me during puberty, I had just lost a family member and I saw an overly emotional scene in a film. But 12 Days of Christine managed to do it with that one line!

Reece and Steve are absolutely brilliant. I was actually really glad that I didn't see it coming, since it wouldn't have been the same, had I suspected something like that. Also, made me realize that it was probably better, at least for me, to not even attempt to "collect" clues and try to guess what is gonna happen.

@@IvanMiletic I recently watched a live Q&A with Reece Shearsmith, in which he talked about the challenge of staying one step ahead of modern audiences. He said viewers today are incredibly sophisticated - they've seen it all before and are very hard to wrong-foot. It's always a huge challenge when he sits down to write with Steve Pemberton, to come up with an original final plot twist, that won't have been predicted by even one of their smart-arse viewers! He talked about loving 'Tales of the Unexpected' as a kid, and the fact the quality of the tales was patchy. By the final series, he said, it deteriorated so badly it became 'Tales of the Not Very Unexpected At All'! He and SP were very anxious not to let 'Inside Number Nine' become similarly disappointing. I think the quality and originality of their 'Number 9 scripts is extraordinary - and for my money, this episode has the most left-field, astonishing and profound conclusion they've ever crafted. It's an overused word I know, but what the Hell I'm gonna use it - they are geniuses!

I discovered this show for the first time last week. Earlier this month, I found out that I have a brain tumor. Glioma, it's called. 80% chance of it being malignant. On the 5th and 6th of this month, I had a team of neurosurgeons in my brain, cutting out as much of the tumor as they could. This was the first episode I watched, because the video that mentioned this series said it was one of, if not THE best episode in the entire series. I was tearing up all throughout the episode, and didn't see the ending coming at all. It was so beautifully done, and really hit close to home. I've had strange instances happen to me over the past few months that truly make me question if a similar incident is happening to me. I'm not a religious person, nor do I believe in the supernatural. But something very strange is going on, and I know that it's not the tumor talking. I love your videos covering this amazing series, and you have such a pleasant voice. Going to bed, but I will definitely return to finish this video tomorrow.

I really hope your treatment goes well and that you can make a full recovery. Stay strong x

@@WeeLin Thank you for the kind words. As odd as it may seem, the tumor has only improved my mindset. Before, I was riddled with depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and anger, to name a few. Once I found out about the tumor, hell even BEFORE I found out (when I passed out for nearly an hour, hit the floor, and apparently had a seizure, I felt...different. It was as if a light had switched on in my mind. Once I found out about the tumor, all of this negative mental and emotional damage I've carried with me for all these years all but vanished. The impossibly huge problems in my life seemed minuscule, by comparison. No matter the outcome, I'm fine with it. The only thing I'm not fine with is the possibility of not being able to see my baby girl not grow up. I want to be with her for as long as possible. But we only have so much control in our lives. To have found this series, and this particular episode, days after being released from the hospital...I saw it from a perspective I never thought existed. It was so beautifully done, and I love your coverage of this amazing series.

I've been physically healthy in all of my 42 years. Then I passed out on the 29th of December, only to find out that it was because of a tumor, on the 3rd of this year. However, I wouldn't change this newfound love of life and perspective for anything in the world. Had it not happened, I would still be sitting here, depressed, full of anxiety, thoughts of suicide swimming around my mind. It's a bit ironic, I suppose.

@@glamdolly30 Thank you. That really means a lot to me. I'll find out this Friday whether or not my tumor is a glioblastoma. If it is, I'm looking at twelve months, maybe a few more, and that's if I choose chemo and radiation treatment, which I would not. I don't fear death. I mean, we all die, but the majority of us don't get a head's up as to when that will be. I would never endure a treatment that would make me leave this world as a hollowed-out husk of a human being.

I'll have watched them all soon, and I'll watch Psychoville next. I love Shearsmith and Pemberton.

Cried. Cried when I watched it first time & every time since. It's my favourite episode of No.9 & I'd say the best half-hour of television possibly of all time. My pet theory is that Steve was responsible for the more emotional aspects of the episode & that Reece supplied the horror. Whether that's the case or not, I could imagine the pair of them telling the other to ease back on the maudlin/terror. The balance was perfect, however, as was the casting. I've really enjoyed all your videos on No.9 particularly & I do hope to watch more once series 5 is out there. In terms of future content, I'd be really interested to see you look at The Cornetto Trilogy (if that's your bag) or horror/thriller movies that have been re-made - a sort of compare & contrast, or treatments of a particular writer's work like King or Herbert. Basically, stuff I'd love to do if I wasn't incredibly lazy ;)
@WeeLin 4 жыл бұрын
It definitely feels like it with the way they were cast, with Reece as the horror figure and Steve as the compassionate best friend (Bobby might be one of my favourite No 9 side characters). Cornetto Trilogy would most certainly be my bag (Shaun of the Dead would be my personal favourite), and I do love me some Stephen King adaptations, for better or worse! I'm considering a Shining/Doctor Sleep video at some point. I've not seen the recent version of Carrie, but I love the old De Palma film. As for IT, they made some... weird decisions in the recent part 2 film, so many that I've probably forgotten about half of them by now. So, plenty of ideas there.

@@WeeLin My pleasure. If you should decide to look at British horror movies, the Amicus anthologies are a great place to start. Mark Gatiss discussed them on his excellent BBC3 'History of Horror' series. I'm the same age as the guys, and share their love of those quirky, classic horrors which we grew up on and watched as kids in secret on black & white portable tellies in our bedrooms, lol! The influence of British horror is obvious across their work, especially 'League of Gentlemen' and the darker 'Inside No 9' episodes. Vintage, British made horror films had top notch stars like Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, plus amazing, A-list support from legends like Terry-Thomas, Diana Dors, Ian Hendry, Arthur Lowe, Donald Pleasance, Joan Collins, Anna Massey, Tom Baker, Robert Morley, etc etc. The movies were a heady mix of theatrical violence, camp comedy and British eccentricity, with the anthology style of the Amicus productions keeping the action fast paced - no wonder Mr Gatiss & friends love them! Another set of fabulous British horrors are the 'Dr Phibes' films starring Vincent Price with the beautiful Caroline Munroe as his dead wife. Probably the most surreal movie ever made, if you haven't seen those I heartily recommend them.

This episode, especially the parts where we see a relationship die, always gave me strong kitchen sink realism vibes. It stuck me as something that Ken Loach could have directed in the 60s or 70s. That, for me at least, grounded the entire episode in this feeling of almost knowing Christine personally. I think that's why it hits you so hard in the final twist. You're not seeing a macabre killing or a tragically funny death, you're seeing an average working class woman who had a hard life grasping for life trying to protect her son.

This episode profoundly effected me. It was very relatable on many levels and so sad. I think it says a lot about Reece and Steve, that they were very much in the background performance wise and had full confidence in Sheridan Smith and the rest of the cast. I wonder if they'll do this again. Wonderful music.
@WeeLin 4 жыл бұрын
It's funny how the two most emotional episodes have one with Steve and Reece in the background, and the other (Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room) where their performance is the entire show. I think they might do more dramatic pieces with them in the background, seeing as their writing attracts such amazing acting talent. And I was so happy when I heard the finished music for this video!

This episode is an absolute tour de force for the entire series...I don't think I've ever shed any tears, yet alone repeated tears each time I see this...it's an incredible masterpiece and not only testament to Reece and Steve's acting/writing but a sobering insight into the talent of Sheridan Smith..this performance is really and honestly second to none

I remember watching this for the first time and absolutely sobbing at the end. It makes me think about life and how short it is, and imo is by far the best episode of the show. The tiny details and amazing emotional attachment you get to the characters in such a short space of time makes it so heartbreaking. Even watching it a second time, knowing what was coming, I still cried. Never have I been so emotionally affected by a TV show before.

Watched this when it went out in 2015, then missed the next episode as I was on the side of the A1 around Sheffield, keeping my wife alive after she'd been thrown out of our crashed car. She's never regained her full memory and I don't remember any flashes before my eyes, but my memory of the crash and aftermath are hazy. Although this story hits hard every time I see it, I still absolutely love it and I've recommeded it to other people who've gone through trauma. It's ultimately a sad story, but it doesn't feel like it and I come back to it time and again. So, thanks for this review, it made me appreciate this masterpiece even more!

This is not just a wonderful analysis- it get to the heart of the emotional heart of this astonishing work of art. Sheridan Smith's performance is beyond perfect and I agree that while her life may not have been exicting or noteworthy outside those who knew her the point of the episode is that she loved and was loved deeply and in her final moments she realises her life really did matter. Thank you

I think that Christine has a lot of characteristics that are often overlooked and undervalued, such as her humility, compassion and her ability to take joy from all the little things. She's someone who was happy with her lot in life, which is why it's so tragic when it's taken from her. She feels like she'd be a really lovely, down to earth person to know, and her casting was nothing short of perfect. As for the timelines, I was starting to wonder if I'd taken things a bit too far! I already had the feeling that days 11 and 12 weren't real memories - there's quite a contrast from day 10, which feels quite detailed and vivid by comparison with everyone still very much in character. I thought, if I could get one date, then I could work out the rest and see if there was anything else in it. The one from the script just made a lot more sense to me. I've no idea if it's right, or if the writers even put that much thought into it, but there you go!

Shortly before I put my five year old to bed, he had an uncharacteristic meltdown because he didn't want me to die one day and leave him all alone. We went back and forth for a half hour, with me trying to explain death and him crying and asking increasingly distressed questions, ultimately culminating with me telling him that I'd do my best to live for 140 years. I was so emotionally drained that I decided to stay up a little bit late and watch an episode of Inside No. 9, which happened to be this episode. I am so utterly wrecked right now.

A very clever detail. The whole thing actually reminded me of a film called Ghost Stories, and I don't want to give away too much but just like the eggs, colours, music, the stranger, etc. in this episode, there are visual and conceptual details throughout the film that are actually clues to figure out what's really going on (except of course you only realise they were clues at the end!).

Easily in my top 5 in terms of the best pieces of television ever made along with some Doctor who episodes and Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room

Just watched this episode. Did not see that end coming. After being involved in a motorcycle crash 8 months ago and so nearly losing my life this hit really hard. An absolute masterpiece of television.

That must have been tough to watch after what happened - I hope you're okay now.

12 Days Of Christine is probably my favorite episode of any TV series ever. Thank you for not only trying to bring more eyes to the magnificent Inside No9, but also analyze/overanalyze 😅 its themes and metaphors. Excellent work!
