The reason that Ghostwatch worked is because it was a one-off and sold itself as genuine.
Deadline worked because it was the first time #InsideNo9 tried anything like that.
With this, we know what's going on right from the off and are under no illusion that it's real.
Inside no 9 was so brilliant last I nearly switched channels. Even my TV menu was saying 3 by 3 Quiz show. Not felt like that since Ghostwatch. #InsideNo9
Mike Scott Well, I enjoyed their performances as characters. On second watch, there's a wonderful amount of backstory.
They were nowhere nearly the Early family of Ghostwatch.
Oh excellent (tiny bit reminiscent of Ghostwatch in the ‘ordinary show goes badly wrong’ way) #InsideNo9 Spoilers #InsideNo9
So so clever!
It's been a long time since I've seen a piece of telly like that.
Shades of Ghostwatch.
