How Do You Plead?
11 August 2021
Derek Jacobi returns to Inside No.9. This time it's an actual appearance than a voiceover.

Jacobi plays cantankerous retired barrister Webster who is severely ill and it's birthday today.

Webster never lost a case in over 40 years. Gosh he must have made a deal with the devil for that type of record.

Urban Bedford (Shearsmith) is the genial carer who patiently puts up with Webster's moods. This time he helps Webster uncover a secret of how he won one particular case.

Another clever and darkly comic episode with a double twist. Urban does give a few clues about him away. However it seems he is no match for Webster's cunning.

At one point I thought this was an episode where Pemberton takes it easy but he comes to his own a little later on.
