Good rather than great. The premise was strong and it delivered much of what you'd expect from Inside No. 9: strange characters, dark ideas and some very funny moments. Our guest appearance from Jimmy Tarbuck rather derailed things, though. Some of the audience clearly loved seeing him, but he was from well before our time and his section went on far longer than seemed intended, with the cast visibly trying to move things along. I actually felt a bit sorry for him. Overall, entertaining and suitably odd, but nothing that really stayed with me afterwards.
