Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
It's enough to say this is one of the pair's more darkly dramatic pieces. There's very little comic relief to relieve the ratcheting tension - an absurdly out-of-place reference to a certain national treasure notwithstanding - which will have you guessing till the end, certain only that this pressurised encounter is not likely to end well.

Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review
Up there with Inside No. 9's best two handers, The Trolley Problem is an atmospheric, moody and very dark psychological thriller. Played admirably straight by both actors, it's potentially the most beautifully shot episode of the entire series.
