As their podcast returns

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith will return with a second series of their Inside Inside No.9 podcast when their TV service resumes.

The BBC has confirmed that the duo will be back with the behind-the-scenes accompaniment to the sixth series, although no broadcast date has yet been confirmed.

Six episodes are to air, with guest stars already announced including Adrian Dunbar from Line of Duty and Sian Clifford from Fleabag.

Ahead of the new series, Pemberton and Shearsmith  will record three episodes of the podcast looking back at the best stories from the anthology.

The pair have picked their favourites and are asking  fans on Twitter to decide the final three with a knockout tournament on Twitter.

The dozen they have chosen are:

A Quiet Night In
Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room
Dead Line
Diddle Diddle Dumpling 
The Riddle of the Sphinx
Tom & Gerri
The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge
The 12 Days of Christine
The Understudy
Zanzibar

Chortle has previously ranked all Inside No 9 episodes – and come up with an entirely different top 12.
