I didn't see that coming! The ending truly upset me.
shareA brilliant, award worthy piece of television, brilliantly acted, brilliantly written.
Love Sheersmith & Pemberton, it was just strange enough to know it was them, and the emotion wrenching twist was absolutely unforgettable.
Sheridan Smith is amazing. I loved this.
it was mind blowing! just seen it. this set´s up a new roof to the show quality. unbeatable maybe.

I cried my eyes out at the end. Went to bed tin king about it and cried again. Re-watched the episode this evening and cried once more! Absolutely flawless, I think this episode really ranks No 9 up to a new level. A really, really beautiful and poignant piece of television.

I still don't understand the whole episode, can someone please explain? For me this episode doesn't makes any sense at all...
shareYes, of course :-) .
Everything you see - right from the beginning, is what Christine is experiencing in her mind - in her dying moments in a car crash. Her life flashing in front of her eyes. A bit like a dream she has as she's dying. Occasionally, the reality of her situation breaks through her final dream - when she sees the smashed eggs, and the man who caused the car acvident (Reese Shearsmith) saying "I'm sorry".
If you can, give it another watch, with theses things in mind, remembering you are seeing her dreaming as she is dying in her car, and it will all make more sense.
Hope this helps. :-)
Who am I? Can I condemn this being to slavery? Pretend I do not see her agony?

Also - several times, in her dying dream, she puts plays a song called 'Time to Say Goodbye' - it's her subconscious, gently telling her the truth, in her dream. One time she plays the song while talking to her dad - he says something like "this should be a happy time" but she's crying, because, on some level she knows she's dying, and the song is telling her the truth.

Right when she first dated her boyfriend at the start she puts the CD with the song while he goes to the bathroom..So she's dead from the start? And she is dreaming of having a kid and all the rest while being in a coma state? Sorry I feel stupid, I watched all the episodes and always enjoyed them, but this one I don't know, it's different for their other stuff.
Thanks for the explanations😙
You've pretty much got it. :-)
The only thing is that she didn't just imagine all of those things happening (getting married, having a little boy etc.). All of that has happened in her life. But then she and her son are in a car accident (that her son survives), and the episode we see starts as she starts to re-live her memories in a dream like state (ie - we see the first time she meets her husband - but what we are actuallly seeing is her dying memories)
I'll stop writing about it now and give you some peace!:-)

Allright! Everything is completely clear now, thank you very much!!
shareThis was the first episode of Inside No 9 that I had ever seen. Cried like a baby at the end!
shareThis episode and episode 6 of Cucumber are not just the best pieces of television I've seen this year but probably in about the last 5 or so years.
It could possibly the best Inside No 9 that will ever be produced, but I'd be happy with that!
It was the best of the series.
Its that man again!!
An amazing episode, brilliantly written and acted.
shareI'm not a fan of league of gentlemen, so have been giving this series a bit of a wide berth until recently, just got to this episode. wow.
