Inside No 9 returns to BBC Two and with a star-studded cast

The third series of the award-winning comedy series Inside No 9 has started filming with a stellar line up.

New settings on the show include a restaurant after closing time, an art gallery and an alpine chalet in 1978.

Felicity Kendal, Fiona Shaw, Jason Watkins, Keeley Hawes,  Jessica Raine,  Mathew Baynton, Rula Lenska,  Philip Glenister, Sarah Hadland, Tamzin Outhwaite, Javone Prince, Montserrat Lombard, Morgana Robinson and Alexandra Roach are some of the names set to appear on the new series.

Shane Allen, Controller, Comedy Commissioning, said: “This is British comedy at its most inventive: the powers of story-telling, superb cameo casting and jaw-dropping originality are unparalleled. Modern-day classics which surprise, terrify and delight in equal measure.”

Kim Shillinglaw, Controller, BBC Two and BBC Four, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that we have attracted such a terrific cast to the next deliciously dark series of Inside no 9. Alongside the return of Boy Meets Girl, this series is another example of the renewed strength and ambition of comedy at 9pm on BBC Two.”
