- "The 12 Days of Christine" is the second episode of the second series of British black comedy anthology series Inside No. 9. It first aired on 2 April 2015 on BBC Two. It was written by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, and directed by Guillem Morales. The episode tells the story of Christine, a young woman living in a small flat, over 12 years in her life, focussing on key days and life events in that time. Christine is played by Sheridan Smith, while those who play an important part in her life are played variously by Tom Riley, Stacy Liu, Michele Dotrice, Paul Copley, Pemberton, Jessica Ellerby, Joel Little and Dexter Little. Shearsmith plays the Stranger, an unknown figure apparently haunting Christine. "The 12 Days of Christine" departed from the usual black comedy of Inside No. 9 to instead focus on drama. The story was interpreted in a number of different ways by commentators, who differed in their understanding of Christine's life and confused perspective, and the identity of the Stranger. Reviewers responded extremely positively to the episode, which was awarded five out of five stars in both The Times and The Telegraph. Critics variously commended the performances of the actors, particularly Smith, the poignancy of the plot, and the impact of the unforeseen ending. (en)
