Inside No. 9 shares intriguing teaser for episode 2
The BBC Two black comedy continues with a school-based episode.
We're going back to school in tonight's episode of Inside No. 9, with an exclusive clip teasing Reece Shearsmith's upcoming role as a teacher with big shoes to fill.
The episode, titled Mr King, stars Shearsmith as Alan Curtis – a teacher who arrives at a Welsh primary school to find that he's constantly overshadowed by his much-loved predecessor.
Steve Pemberton plays the rural village school's headmaster Mr Edwards, while Midsomer Murders' Annette Badland guest stars as Curtis's colleague Winnie.
In a first-look clip, which can be shared exclusively by RadioTimes.com, we see Mr Edwards ask Curtis about the school play he's putting on, adding: "Mr King's were always very lavish, like West End theatre productions."
"Well, I'll try and make mine Wicked," he adds. "That's a musical."
