25. Death Be Not Proud - Characters From Psychoville Show Up

Inside No 9
BBC

Plot: A young couple, Beattie (Jenna Coleman) and Sam (Kadiff Kirwan) move into a flat with a very sinister past.

In Death Be Not Proud, it turns out that the ghost haunting the flat is none other than Maureen Sowerbutts (Reece Shearsmith) from Psychoville, a previous work by Pemberton and Shearsmith. About four other characters from that show also turn up.

This was one hell of a huge surprise... for some viewers. This episode was not marketed as a Psychoville-crossover and therefore, for those who've watched Psychoville, it will have been a delightful surprise when David Sowerbutts (Steve Pemberton) suddenly showed up at the flat early in the episode.

For those who hadn't watched Psychoville though, the impact was minimal. This is arguably the worst episode of the show's run, but it will provide this lovely fan service for some viewers.
