"The Bill" is the second episode of the third series of the British dark comedy anthology television programme Inside No. 9. First aired on 21 February 2017 on BBC Two, it was written by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, and was directed by Guillem Morales. The episode focuses on four men arguing over who should pay the bill in a restaurant at closing time, much to the dismay of the waitress Anya. It addresses themes of masculinity and competition. The English North–South divide is a recurring issue; Craig, the visiting southerner, is wealthier than the other three, and unfamiliar with some of their terminology. The episode was inspired by a real dispute seen by the writers, and also influenced by Yasmina Reza's play 'Art'. "The Bill" starred Pemberton as Malcolm, Shearsmith as Archie, Jason Watkins as Kevin, Philip Glenister as Craig, and Ellie White as Anya. It won Shearsmith and Pemberton the Best TV Situation Comedy award at the 2018 Writers' Guild Awards. (Full article...)
