    Mindblow. A LIVE show

    ABSOLUTELY brilliant idea. Totally got me. if U are doing a LIVE drama show, this episode is your guide. However, it is technically not a good story, and this is the reason I didn't give 9 or 10 stars. they just want haunting audiences. but still good idea.

    A great attempt

    This episode made as a live episode was certainly ambitious. The disjointed nature of it which is purposeful adds to the feel of the piece. It takes a bit of thought to unravel the true meaning of the presentation.

    Inside #9 . dead line

    Guys, this is absolutely incredible product! Must see, definitely. Not to much comedy, though...

    Fantastic!

    I love this entire series and was intrigued as to what a live addition would entail; I was completely fooled to begin with, but absolutely amazed by the outcome...

    The thought process behind this episode is truly mindblowing; Pemberton & Sheersmith you are amazing!!

    INCREDIBLE! ONLY IF YOU SAW IT LIVE!

    This episode was genius. I watched it live and sadly if you didn't it wont be the same.

    • Trivia
      A1990s video from the show Public Enemy Number One features actor/ comedian Bobby Davro. He suffered a broken nose when the pillory he was placed in, not being secured vertically, toppled over projecting him face-first onto the studio's concrete floor. The incident was not televised but was used in a BBC safety video.

      On the CCTV shot of the electrician storage space at Granada Studios, just before the mop and bucket falls over it is possible to see the string connected to the mop.
