I’ve also seen Inside No.9 Stage/Fright (once or twice……) and it really is a fab show that alludes well to the TV series. A good mix of fan service and new material that everyone seems to really enjoy! Great news that it’s going on tour later in the year as it’s been such a smash hit down here.

A truly fitting end to what was a phenomenon of a TV series.

Need to finish the series now, got about 3 seasons still to watch. Especially as one episode was filmed on the merseyrail network which I use most days.

Just got back from seeing Red Or Dead at Liverpools Royal Court theatre.

Adapted from David Peace's book of the same name it tells the story of Bill Shanklys arrival at Liverpool, his success, shock retirement, and what happened next.

Peter Mullan was great as Bill Shankly.

Really enjoyed this, obviously as a Liverpool supporter it's massively in my wheel house having grown up on tales of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, and the boot room.

Good use of songs of the era, as well as terrace chants, and of course you'll never walk alone.
