Lee Mack’s multi award-winning Not Going Out, now the longest running sitcom on air, is returning to BBC One this Christmas.
We are straight into seasonal suburban chaos as married couple Lee (Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton) pop out on a last-minute Christmas Eve mission for the kids.
With Lucy’s father Geoffrey (Geoffrey Whitehead), cutting more of a strict and stuffy Victorian gent than usual, and lovely mum Wendy (Deborah Grant) fortunately on hand to temporarily mind the children, surely it will be an uneventful evening?
Meanwhile at home, Lee’s lovably feckless father, Frank (Bobby Ball) also turns up to offer gifts… and his unique festive flavour.
