Summary[]

Inside No. 9 is an anthology series, with each episode being a new story, with a new setting and new characters. Episodes last around half an hour long, with some of the the self-contained story reaching a scary conclusion. The stories are linked primarily by the fact that each has an element of the story linked to the number 9, be that a mansion, a dressing room or even a shoe, size 9. Every episode in this show stars Reece Shearsmith or Steve Pemberton, and regularly both. Each episode is effectively like a short play. Some episodes take place in the present, following half an hour in the lives of the characters. Every episode of Inside No. 9 features an ornamental hare somewhere on-screen. According to Pemberton, "Because each episode is so wildly different there was nothing really linking them other than the fact they were all inside a Number Nine, I just thought it would be nice to have an object that you could hide and just have there on every set." There is, however, no particular significance to the hare itself.
