Mechanisms are for Robots

This is the episode that made me completely fall in love with this Inside No.9. I loved the change in format, the claustrophobia of it all, the limited camera and the acting was so gorgeous. I can do very little to fault this episode. It also has my favourite ending in the entire show so far. The sharpness of it and the way it was delivered in what we were perceiving as a "safe space" was funny and clever. Andy is a brilliantly written and acted character. He deserves our sympathy and compassion; his tenderness is amicable and a wonder to watch. We are committed to his journey. Him being a victim of this twisted bully is mesmerising.

Steve and Reece chose to direct this episode. It makes sense as it's a complex idea to get down on paper and there was a very clear visual format and lot to think about and pay attention to. Having a limited scope visually is reflective of a stage play. It will always be one of my favourite episodes of all time!
