History Recap / InsideNo9S4E5AndTheWinnerIs

* ShoutOut: Gordon (played by Noel Clarke) mentions he's currently working on ''Series/DoctorWho''

* SmallNameBigEgo: Clive is an obscure, mediocre scriptwriter who mentions whenever he gets the chance that he won a writing award 15 years ago.

In Room 9 at the Royal Academy of Motion Picture Arts Giles Grindley-Orme hosts a panel consisting of brassy Hollywood star Paula, TV critic June, ageing ham Rupert, young producer Gordon, has-been writer Clive and member of the public Jackie to vote for the Best Actress award. Indecision soon turns to bicker until the actual award winner is named - due to somebody outside the panel.

!!This episode contains examples of:

* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Rupert, the oldest member of the jury, is blatantly sexist, racist and offensive.

* OpinionFlipFlop: In an attempt to appeal to Gordon, Clive changes his opinion Gordon disagrees with it.

* StarvingArtist: Clive is struggling in his writing career and hasn't really achieved anything since he won an award for new writing talent ... in 2002.

* TokenMinority: Gordon feels that this is the reason for both him being on the jury, and Anna nominated for the award.

* PlayingGertrude: [[invoked]] Shona Andrews was nominated for playing Marie Curie at an age thirty years older than Andrews herself.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Kelly might have resorted to unethical measures to ensure she wins the award, but she's not wrong to boast about her talents at the end either; not a single person in the room suspected who "Jackie" really was despite sitting in a room with her with a photo of her prominently located on the wall.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Jackie / Kelly.]]

* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:Kelly ''technically'' didn't vote for herself.]]

* CelebrityParadox: Gordon mentions he's recently been directing ''Series/DoctorWho''. He's played by Creator/NoelClarke, a former semi-regular on ''Doctor Who'', and Shearsmith and Pemberton themselves have both been guest stars on the show, as have two more of that episode's guest cast, Zoe Wanamaker and Fenella Woolgar.

* BreatherEpisode: Not that the show NEEDS breathers; things can be pretty funny even when dark. But this episode has way less underlying darkness than the three before it.

* CausticCritic: June

The Royal Academy of Motion Picture Arts is to decide this year's winners of its prestigious TV awards, and Jury 9 is assigned to choose the Best Actress award. Clive, a struggling writer, arrives and chairman Giles introduces him to the rest of the jury. The others are Jackie, a member of the public chosen for the jury; Gordon, a popular director; June, a TV critic, Rupert, a respected veteran actor; and Paula, a theatrical producer. Clive tries to get Gordon interested in one of his scripts, but Gordon clearly isn't paying attention. Paula meanwhile is keen to leave and get to another appointment. The jury quickly narrows down the longlist to four nominees.

Everyone discusses Shona Andrews' performance as Marie Curie. It becomes clear that Rupert is biased in favour of another nominee: Dame Dorothy Sutton, with whom he went to drama school together and once had an affair. Giles suggests Rupert abstain from voting on her, to Rupert's distaste. The conversation rapidly goes off-topic as Paula struggles to cover the fact she has not watched any of the performances, while Clive tries to promote his own writing. Gordon, Clive, and June agree that the third nominee (Kelly Marsden) is not quite ready for the award just yet. Giles asks Jackie's opinion; she is a fan of Marsden, whose performance made Jackie and her mother cry.

The conversation comes around to the final nominee: Anna Adeyemi. When everyone looks at Gordon first (since he and Anna both happen to be black), Gordon becomes angry and feels he was chosen for the jury because of tokenism. Rupert complains that they're expected to have at least one person of colour on the panel while Giles tries to deny it. He tries to get the jury back on topic, but Gordon starts another argument with June; he's upset that she published a very negative review of his work. Giles calms the situation by suggesting everyone have a break. Clive again tries to get Gordon interested in his script, but Gordon isn't impressed.

Jackie asks about June's job, causing June to conlude she is dissatisfied; she doesn't have any input in the creative process. Giles calls out Paula on not watching any of the performances but she cuts him off. The jury reconvenes, and it's decided to remove Anna from the list of nominees. Clive pushes to also rule out Shona, since he feels she wins too many awards just on her name as a star. This leaves Kelly and Dorothy as the final two candidates, but the jury is evenly split. Paula wants to change her vote so she can leave in a hurry, so the jury argue again, everyone now deciding they want to change their votes. Gordon yells at Clive and flatly refuses to have anything to do with his script. Rupert humiliates Jackie, who bursts into tears and says she is not experienced enough to give an opinion. She decides to leave.

Gordon hands out electronic voting devices. The remaining jury members quickly cast their votes and leave. Jackie returns, saying she forgot her phone; and Giles apologises for the way the others treated her. He refuses to tell her who was voted as the winner, but says that her influence helped the jury decide to vote with their hearts rather than their heads. When he leaves, Jackie removes fake eyebrows and a wig, revealing that she is Kelly Marsden in disguise. She says, "No, Giles. It's because ''I'm'' the best actress." She looks at the board, where Kelly's photo is the only one left, revealing her as the winner.

* BrokenWinLossStreak: For Shona Andrews, whom Clive successfully gets removed from the running because he feels she's won too many awards already.
