Episode 1: "Laurence has arranged a reunion with his old university chums Callum and Darren at a remote lake. It’s not quite what they were expecting, and Darren has even brought along his new girlfriend. But a lot of water has passed under the bridge since their college days, and as they strike out across the empty lake, the conversation takes them into choppier waters."

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton say: "We hope you'll join us and another incredible cast of actors for more surprises that will make your jaws drop and spines tingle. Heads might even roll, and if not heads, definitely eyes."

Inside No.9 returns Wednesday 20th April at 10pm on BBC Two.
