Also, didn’t they hide a silver hare ornament among the props of the last series?
I didn't know that, I must admit.

Inside No 9: can you find the hidden hare in every episode?
One of TV’s unsung heroes finally gets their moment in the spotlight this week. Yet it’s not a stalwart supporting character or long-serving “background artist” getting their long-awaited chance to move centre-stage. No, it’s a silver statuette of a hare.
Inside No 9 concludes it fourth run on Tuesday with a typically twisty parable titled “Tempting Fate”. It finds three council contractors clearing out the flat of a dead hoarder, where they discover a deadly curse from beyond the grave. The whole devilish tale revolves around the metallic effigy of a hare.
Unbeknown to many viewers, the mysterious long-eared mammal has appeared in all 24 episodes of the comedy-horror anthology. This is the first time it has become a plot point.
The hare is there in S1 ep4 - the Migg episode. On the shelf under the mirror. Wasn't expecting it, but it was right there front and centre very prominent. Keeping an eye out now.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/cult-inside-no-9-hare/
The hare thing ...
I am reminded of Kit Williams’ Masquerade.
Dead Line on 28th October...
A young man where I work was talking to one of his colleagues saying "Room 9, it's like Black Mirror", I piped up with "do you mean Inside No. 9?" and the guy looked startled and asked if I watched it. I explained I had been a fan of the League of Gentlemen since the 90s and love how dark humour has developed since then. At that moment I had never felt older as he looked at me with something of a mix of pity and wonder and asked "who?"
I think there’s a LIVE Inside No9 special episode scheduled for sunday. I haven’t checked the TV listings yet though.
There is - 10pm BBC2
The exact same thing happened to me where I work, Rerenny! Except in my case he was vaguely aware of the League of Gentlemen but had somehow never seen any of it! I said that he should probably start with LOG as it was a bit more accessible than Inside No.9! Weirdly, though, he had seen Psychoville but had no idea it was the same people.A young man where I work was talking to one of his colleagues saying "Room 9, it's like Black Mirror", I piped up with "do you mean Inside No. 9?" and the guy looked startled and asked if I watched it.

It is odd when people don't make what seems like an obvious connection. But at least your guy has the awareness, mine is completely oblivious!Ooer, a live episode?! Got to give that a go!
I'm currently re-watching all the series on Netflix. These two have really honed their skills over the years and the writing is so tight now, it's amazing what they can cram into just 30 minutes.

Just brilliant
Although I wonder how many people changed channels after the second 'interval'....
