Comedy: Inside No.9, BBC2, 10pm

You have to tip your cap to Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith (both left). The pair, who met at Bretton Hall College in Yorkshire in their late teens, really produced some superb, if a little off-beat, television since the glory days of League of Gentlemen. Inside No.9 is gloriously dark and showcases the slightly warped mind of the duo. Tonight, student journalist Gabriel is determined to interview world-famous magician Neville Griffin, who is renowned for being extremely protective of his secrets and believes stealing a magic trick is a crime worse than murder. But how would he know that, exactly? Jill Halfpenny and Fionn Whitehead guest star.
