"Dead Line" is a Halloween special episode of the British black comedy anthology television programme Inside No.

Written by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, the episode was directed by Barbara Wiltshire and was first broadcast live on 28 October 2018, on BBC Two.

She says it belongs to Elsie Mitchelle, and advises Arthur to contact the local vicar, Reverend Neil (Reece Shearsmith).

That evening, Neil enters the house, enquires how Arthur found the phone, and attempts to collect it.

During a scene of the episode in which a homeowner is eating dinner unaware of two burglars, the house's flood lights activate revealing a ghost standing at the window.

The ghost bangs on the glass and the feed glitches before cutting back to the now empty living room set.

Another cut shows a feed of Pemberton and Shearsmith complaining about the technical issues and the episode in general.

Arthur is covered in blood in his bathroom, holding a knife, as Moira helps herself into his apartment after receiving a message from Neil.

The Most Haunted episode is then played, where they discuss that just opposite Granada Studios, the Church of St John's has a graveyard with 22,000 bodies.

A clip of "A Quiet Night In" is played, of Shearsmith and Pemberton getting shot, repeated constantly, at increasing speed.
