Not even Google can find this thread - spent the last 5 minutes searching!
Anyway, here's an Adam Buxton podcast with interviews from Steve and Reece:
http://adam-buxton.co.uk/ad/2017/10/13/podcast-ep-52-steve-pemberton-reece-shearsmith/
They were plugging the new series of The League of Gentlemen (on at Christmas) and had some interesting things to say about the characters, like Barbara or Papa Lazarou and how acceptable they are now - but didn't give much away otherwise.
Anyway, the good news is that there's a new series of Inside No. 9 already filmed! It'll be on in the New Year, and they're planning a series after that too. They made the point that anthology series are in vogue right now and naturally claimed all responsibility (!).

Love the new League episodes, absolute genius.
The dementia storyline epitomised their mastery of the comic/tragic gut-punch, the No.9 reference had me grinning like a loon, and the railway platform ending raised a tear in my eye.
Did anybody else spot the clue in the photo booth? People I've spoken to didn't see it but I thought it was pretty obvious.

While I’m still trying to get Krampus out of my head from ages ago, this series continues to deliver. To say anything more about Cheese and Crackers would give the game away but it was a great half hour of TV by guys who really know how to hit the notes.
They should be forced at gunpoint to turn out one of these every week year upon year.

I wondered if that was a Little and Large reference, Eddie dressed up as Tina once. As savagely lampooned by The Mary Whitehouse Experience ("You're not Tina Turner! Eddie... Eddie... Eddie..."). Also they famously fell out, though I doubt they'll be getting back together.
There was even a Cheese and Onion reference! They really know their stuff.

The only thing that slightly marred it for me (and I'm being really picky here) was that the time-frame didn't quite ring true.
Assuming the characters were in their fifties, they would've been in their twenties during the 1980s (as they appear on those excellent promo sheets), and I can't remember any creaking variety acts of the time being that young. It would've been more realistic if the actual episode was set in, say, the late nineties?
