About
The Royal Television Society and Rose d'Or award-winning Not Going Out, written by and starring LEE MACK, is returning to BBC ONE for the much anticipated fifth series (6 x 30').
The sitcom follows the jokes, jibes and general misunderstandings of happy-go-lucky Lee (LEE MACK), his best mate Tim (fellow BAFTA award winner and stand-up, TIM VINE) and his landlady and Tim's sister Lucy (SALLY BRETTON, The Office, Green Wing).
In this new series we see Lee turn rocker when he joins his best mate Tim's band, cheered on by Tim's ditzy girlfriend Daisy (KATY WIX, Torchwood, Outnumbered); take on the role of carer for his scrounging father (BOBBY BALL, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!); injure himself training for a Fun Run, and prove his manliness by camping in a dark spooky forest. But will a drunken experiment with Lucy show once and for all that love really is in the air or will it just lead to more mayhem and mishaps...
A sixth series has been commissioned.
'More of the kind of class A one-liners that make this half hour absolutely whizz past each week.'
Daily Mirror
'It's extremely well crafted, smart and warm.'
The Guardian
An Avalon TV production for BBC ONE
Episodes available: 34 x 30' (HD)
