The 12 Days of Christine

I love Inside No9 but this has to be the standout episode. I can't exactly put my finger on what makes it so perfect, maybe it's the writing or maybe it's Sheridan Smith's natural acting skills. It could just be the song interwoven throughout the episode, who knows? This starts off as classic No9 then turns into something so much more. This first time I watched it I was mainly confused for the first 99% of the episode until it clicked into place at the end. The second time, even though I knew what was happening, I enjoyed it just as much for the brilliant piece of television it is. As I said, I don't know why it's so great, it just is and it gets me in the feels every time. If you only watch one episode of this brilliant series make it this one.

The little show that could, the gift that keeps on giving, and all the other clichés you want.

This episode was by far the best half hour of television I have watched this year so far. A fantastic idea that pulls off and then some. Stunning performance by Sheridan Smith who (again) hooks you in with her seemingly effortless charm and talent, and the rest of the cast hold it together brilliantly.

I don't think I've used the "roller coaster ride" of emotions comparison quite so accurately. I was left so shaken after the gripping, suspenseful and heartbreaking story that I doubt I'll be able to shake off anytime soon. I expected the usual twisted, witty and quirky fun show we expect from the series; instead I got a firm tug (or a hard kick) on the heartstrings.

Also massive praises again to Reece Shearsmith & Steve Pemberton for their incredible writing skills goes without saying.

In short: Wow! I have no envy for the episode that has to follow this.

I have loved everything these guys have ever done but this episode is something else. As usual,the story keeps you guessing and a bit confused until the end and for that reason it's hard to say much about the episode without spoiling it. I can say that I have never been this affected by an episode of anything. I rarely find myself thinking about a TV show after I see it but this made me stop the DVD and think. I'm afraid to watch the next episode,they set the bar too high. All I can say about the actual content of the story is that it's about a woman who thinks she is having mental problems. She keeps missing big chunks of time and is frequently confused about what is happening. It seems like they aren't going anywhere and just when you're ready to be mad,they hit you with the twist. Since this series is really a bunch of unrelated short films, you don't need to have seen any other episodes to enjoy this. This is a must see for everyone.

Inside No.9 will forever be one of my favourite shows, but this episode rates not only as the best episode, but also one of the best thirty minutes of TV I've ever seen.

Even now when I watch it I am blown away by just how good it is, it's moving, powerful, somehow chilling and loaded with suspense, the ending had me in tears. If anyone doubted how good an actress Sheridan Smith is, then I urge them to watch this, her performance is beyond outstanding. Michelle Dotrice, Paul Copley and Tom Riley play their parts too.

You feel the torment of Christine as you watch her life spiral out of control, it's only at the very end that it makes sense and you realise her fate.

Never before did I think I'd hear the heavenly voice of Sarah Brightman on an episode of Inside No.9, but there it is, so appropriate.

This is incredible viewing. 10/10

This is by far my favourite episode of Inside No. 9. It's so beautifully done and the music in the final scene is so emotional that it makes cry every time I watch it... and i've watched it many times.

I love it so much that I felt compelled to write this review, even though no one will ever read it.

It's better if you don't know anything about the story, so just watch it
