Inside No9 series 7

[Noodle Lizard]

Julia Davis was an Aussie, lesbian, stage manager in The Understudy back in Series One.

Oh shit, you're right. I completely forgot.

[sevendaughters]

just caught up. it was fine. some of the 'going back into memories' dialogue on the boat was a bit student production, but there were laughs and I like a mostly-bottle episode.

[MigraineBoy]

Oh shit, you're right. I completely forgot.

If ever "actors who've appeared credited in an episode of Inside Number 9" is a question on Pointless* I'd reckon Julia Davis & Nick Moran would be two of the biggest "I'd forgotten about them - Of course they were!" answers.


* probably already has

I think I heard Steve say he hoped the podcasts be referred to as I²No.9 so reckon the least we could do is oblige.

I remembered him saying something with IX and a square in it but I couldn't figure it back out before I posted. I've just checked and at 42m55s he says he's 'desperate' to get it known as IX². How does that work? Inside X IX? Surely, it should be I²IX or I³X, or something.

He says IN², which makes a bit more sense. Although mathematically it should be (IN)² but that's hard to convey on audio.

[Captain Z]

Mathematicallly it should be I²N9

[JamesTC]

Why would Inside² be equal to Inside Inside? Unless Inside equals 1.414.

[DrGreggles]

Not one of the better episodes for me, Clive.

Sorry Reece

Oh, you're right. I missheard. Your interpretation makes far more sense. However, surely that means it's Inside (Inside Number Nine) -> I(I+N+N) -> I²+I2N. Doesn't really roll off the tongue, though, does it?

(Sorry Steve! Did I mention I was bored?)

[Johnny Yesno]

Or maybe it's Inside (Inside (Number Nine))
-> I(I(N+N))
= I(I(2N))
= I(2IN)
= 2I²N

IINN = (IN)² by commutativity

[Johnny Yesno]

IINN = (IN)² by commutativity

It's not commutative, though, is it? There's a definite order: you have Inside Number Nine and then you go inside that.

I think you've crossed the pedantry threshold on that one.

[mjwilson]

Or I and N could both be matrices, then you'd really be in trouble.

[Johnny Yesno]

It's why I'm here. I just wish I understood it.

Or I and N could both be matrices, then you'd really be in trouble.

I'm already in trouble because I don't understand that either.

Matrix multiplication is not commutative (AB is not necessarily equal to BA).

[Andy147]

Why would Inside² be equal to Inside Inside? Unless Inside equals 1.414.

You mean "Unless Inside equals 2", surely? You want x²=2x, not x²=2 .

[Johnny Yesno]

You mean "Unless Inside equals 2", surely? You want x²=2x, not x²=2 .

Hey! I do understand this after all!

I still think the square is a decent representation of being inside something which is inside something else, though.

Matrix multiplication is not commutative (AB is not necessarily equal to BA).

Ah, right, but why would I and N be matrices?

[Blumf]

Has everyone forgotten That Was The Week That Was, or (TW)³, to give it it's efficient form?

[olliebean]

I am good at maths, and this thread is hurting me.

[mjwilson]

Ah, right, but why would I and N be matrices?

Mostly I was being silly.

[Johnny Yesno]

Mostly I was being silly.

OK. So, if I was being silly, what was N being?

[Tony Tony Tony]

The Radio Times website write up for tonight's upcoming ep says it has strong allusions to a classic 70s movie. It doesn't name the film as says that would give too much away.

First one to get it and post wins the thread?

[This isnt witty sorry]

Someone on Reddit might have already figured it out.

It really will spoil it:

Spoiler alert

apparently one of the drawings in the classroom is the same as one in the Wicker Man.

Buggeration.

[This isnt witty sorry]

Spoiler alert

Sorry, had the same "oh it's going to be that" when I read it as well.

Though seeing as the thumbnail is them in front of a banner for the harvest festival and it's set in rural Wales maybe the twist will be that it's not that. Bit too obvious.

I've been working, so barely seen the screen, and that's the exact vibe I've got.

[A Hat Like That]

Did watch the screen for the last 5 minutes. Took the (minor) swerve it needed to. Great.

[selectivememory]

Haha. Fucking hell. Wasn't particularly enjoying that one so much at first, but I was curious enough to want to see where it was going, and the last ten minutes or so were great. I was thinking Steve's performance of the headmaster character was almost distractingly hammy, but that made sense in the end with the sinister turn.

[lauraxsynthesis]

Wahey!

Spoiler alert

I love the Wicker Man so this was a real treat. I didn't see it coming until he looked at the photo of Mr Hardy's class. Apart from it echoing the harvest photo from the film, the director was of course Robin Hardy. I once shook the man's hand at a Singalonga Wicker Man event.
