Not Going Out	comment	Not Going Out is a pun-heavy British sitcom starring Lee Mack that first ran from 2006 to 2014, followed by a one-off special in 2015 before resuming from 2017 to the present.The show originally focused on Lee, a perpetually unemployed layabout who prefers to spend his time hanging around with his best friend, Tim (Tim Vine), rather than finding meaningful employment. In the first series, Lee rents a room from Kate, Tim's American ex-girlfriend. From the second series, Kate is replaced with Lucy, Tim's younger sister, a consultant with whom Lee shares a combative will-they-won't-they relationship.Supporting characters during the show's original run included Barbara (Miranda Hart), Lucy's cleaner who never seemed to do much cleaning, Daisy (Katy Wix), Tim's Cloud Cuckoolander girlfriend. Cast turnovers during this time saw the departures of Barbara and Tim and the arrival of Toby (Hugh Dennis) and Anna (Abigail Cruttenden) a posh couple who spend most of their time sniping at one another and find themselves getting sucked into Lee and Lucy's lives.After a brief hiatus following Lee and Lucy's wedding in the 2014 Christmas special, the show returned with a significant Retool and an eight-year Time Skip to focus on Lee and Lucy as a married couple with three children and the promotion of Lee's dad, Frank, and Lucy's parents, Geoffrey and Wendy, to major supporting characters alongside Toby and Anna.Select episodes can be seen on Lee Mack's YouTube channel.

He'd said that to spare the feelings of a woman who was attracted to him.

In the 2021 series (filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was likely also a factor) they are entirely absent apart from one appearance from Molly and one by all three (one of whom is offscreen and voiceover-only), although they remain in the opening titles.

"Escape Room" was set entirely in an escape room "Parachute" was set entirely on board a plane right before the entire main cast take part in a charity parachute jump. "Memory", "Resolutions" and "War" took place entirely in Lee and Lucy's sitting room, while "Beep" takes up the whole ground floor of the house. "Jury" is set in a small room where the members of said jury make their decision. "Hospital" only features a single ward. "Coffin"...well...speaks for itself.

Frank of course is quick to snap back that the only reason they're embroiled in the problem in the first place is because they acted like cuckoos themselves and stole it from him in their own dimwitted scheme.

Not Going Out / int_f5a3e496	comment	Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Toby is one for Tim in some respects. Both are intelligent and well-off middle class Butt Monkeys who get dragged into Lee's schemes to their detriment. Though Toby is more self-assured and most of the humour comes from his being a Henpecked Husband rather than a lack of masculinity like Tim. Lucy for Kate in the sense that they were both leading female characters alongside Lee, they owned the flat and Lee was their lodger. Daisy came in just before Barbara left, and both were very quirky, comic-relief supporting characters, though Barbara was more of a physical klutz while Daisy was just a general simpleton.

He is able to breathe perfectly fine after being nailed inside a coffin for over four hours and can still get mobile phone reception (albeit with the occassional interference). In the first case, Carbon Dioxide poisoning should have made breathing difficult after about three hours. In the second case, phone signals can be blocked by only a few inches of soil. One of the people facetiming him even Lampshedes this fact by asking what network he is using (Saying that the coverage is phenominal!). Another point is that Lee's friends and a priest are able to unearth coffins in barely a minute instead of half-an-hour to an hour.
