The popular black comedy Inside No 9 is coming to an end after the stars and writers of the show have finished filming — rather fittingly — series number 9.
But even with that announcement comes a twist typical of the show itself. For Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, who also co-created and co-wrote The League of Gentlemen and Psychoville, have announced they are going to "pause" the programme, rather than press the "stop" button.
Pemberton, 55, told The Sun: "We feel it is a good time to pause Inside No. 9 after we finish filming Series 9 next year." He added: "We're not saying it's over for good. After all, The League Of Gentlemen came back, but we won't be looking to make any more episodes for the time being."
