"Inside No. 9 invites you into six very different No. 9s, where the ordinary and mundane rub shoulders with the extraordinary and macabre. From a grand country house where a game of 'sardines' leads to some chilling revelations in a wardrobe; to a very oddly haunted house; to the flat of an apparently happy primary school teacher who becomes the victim of a good deed; these unpredictable tales feature high comedy and claustrophobic horror by turns."
An impressive cast has been assembled to take part in the series. Actors include Gemma Arterton (Tamara Drewe), Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd), Anna Chancellor (Pramface), Anne Reid (The Last Tango In Halifax, dinnerladies), Tamsin Greig (Friday Night Dinner, Episodes), Julian Rhind-Tutt (Green Wing, A Touch Of Cloth), Ben Willbond (The Thick Of It, Horrible Histories), Marc Wootton (Way To Go, La La Land), Timothy West (Brass, Terry Pratchett's Going Postal), Sophie Thompson (Lee Evans - So What Now?, David Bedella (Jerry Springer - The Opera), Adam Deacon (Kidulthood), Tim Key (Cowards) and Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones).
