9 was written in 2014 by the programme's creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. The idea for "Séance Time" began with the "trigger" of a séance, and the plot grew out of this, while the episode's title was taken from a line performed by David Warner in the film From Beyond the Grave. Shearsmith had previously taken part in a séance with The League of Gentlemen in a putatively-haunted house. He had heard tapping and seen movement on a ouija board, and believed he had experienced something supernatural until Mark Gatiss confessed that he was responsible. Shearsmith said that he and Pemberton had always wanted to do a séance-inspired story, but had never been able to find a new angle from which to approach the theme. "Séance Time", he thought, "felt a bit different" from how séances had previously been portrayed. The writers were unsure how to conclude the episode, and considered 15 to 20 different endings before settling on the one they used. The title of "Séance Time" was inspired by the line "It's séance time!", spoken by David Warner's character in the 1974 film From Beyond the Grave. Casting and characters Īs each episode of Inside No. 9 features new characters, the writers were able to attract actors who might have been unwilling to commit to an entire series. "Séance Time" starred Sophie McShera as Tina-though Tina was played by an uncredited extra in the opening shot of a house's exterior -Shearsmith as "Hives"/Terry, Alison Steadman as "Madam Talbot"/Anne, Dan Starkey as "Blue Demon Dwarf"/Clive, Cariad Lloyd as Gemma, Alice Lowe as Amanda, Pemberton as Pete and Caden-Ellis Wall as William. The writers felt the episode featured a number of good roles for women. 9 's crew, include the episode's third assistant director Saloum N'Jie, appeared as uncredited extras playing members of a television crew. Continue asking questions until the spirit stops responding or you feel it is time to end.Though there were only a small production crew seen in the episode, this mirrors real crews of the kind featured. ![]() Yes are no questions are best as these are the easiest for a spirit to communicate in a séance. If the spirit raps, have the medium ask questions.If you sit for about ten minutes with nothing, close the séance and try again another time. Stay in this meditative space until you hear a rap. Have all participants close their eyes and silently invite the spirit to join you. Tell them they can indicate their presence by rapping on the table or a wall. Ask the spirit to come speak with you now.One knock means no, two knocks means yes." This is just one way you can ask spirits to respond-you can also ask them to speak into voice recorders if you have them, try to speak aloud, cause a pendulum to swing, or whatever means of communication you choose. Tell the spirits how you're hoping they'll respond, such as, "We will ask yes or no questions, and we invite you to answer by knocking.We invite any spirits who wish to communicate with us to step forward now." I'm here today with Bob Jones and Amy Manning. You can do this by having the medium introduce themselves and each person around the table and state their purpose. Have each participant visualize a bubble of white light popping out from their core to surround the space and fill the room.Start with a brief affirmation of protection, such as, "All participants remain safe and protected during this session.".All other participants will need to remain as quiet as possible during the séance. This is the person who will have all communication with the spirits, asking questions, etc. When the room is ready, have participants file in and take a seat around the table, holding hands above the table.
