I have received the following from Alan Conner:

“A quick heads-up to say that there’s a programme on BBC Two tomorrow (28/2/17 at 10pm) which I suspect will be of interest to all people 225. It’s a one-off episode of Inside No 9 (a 30 minute dark comedy): the lead character is a cryptic setter (Professor Squires) who is visited by a woman called Nina, and the whole thing is based around a puzzle. (Disclosure: I feature briefly and needlessly in the credits as “crossword consultant” or similar.)”

hi Chris
I never watched the previous episodes (not my cup of tea )

see here for more info. before you decide

Not a programme I watch, will have a look tonight though.

Thanks jazzy - you've reminded me that I saw one of the early ones, that I thought was vacuous tosh. Still, I'll give it a go.

There have been suggestions that the programme might have links with today's Guardian crossword, set by "Sphinx" (a new name in these parts). It's certainly a strange effort, and has caused much disquiet on the Guardian crossword page!

It's today's here if anyone is interested in preparing for the programme!

Some of those clues are a bit "naff" in my humble opinion :(

I've never watched it. In fact, it's completely new to me.
However, out of interest, I will look in tonight or catch up on iplayer.

Roger Squires is 'Rufus' in the Guardian. 'Dante' in the Financial Times and also writes for the Telegraph.
I haven't seen 'Inside No 9' tonight but caught it last week and thought it was quite well thought out with a nice twist at the end, the episode I saw was 'The Bill'
I'll watch this week's on catch up.
