The final series of Inside No.9 is set to air on BBC Two very soon, with Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith bringing their black comedy anthology programme to a close.
Inside No.9 has been going since 2014, with each episode being a self-contained story set in a singular location.
A key feature of the series has been each episode having a completely different cast, outside of Shearsmith and Pemberton almost always appearing.
Speaking with the Radio Times about finishing the show, Pemberton said: "I don’t think we regret deciding to finish. Numerically, it’s our little in-joke – nine series of Inside No 9.
"It could easily have stopped after five series, but we were determined to get to that landmark."
Shearsmith added: "When the last episode is only available on iPlayer, then it really will feel like it’s concluded. There will be a sadness to it, but also massive relief that we’ve got to the end without compromising on the high bar we set ourselves.
"We’ve done 55 different stories now, and to have not repeated ourselves or started to wane feels like an achievement. We’re very proud."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
