Acclaimed Family Chaos NOT GOING OUT Returns to BBC This March  Image

Lee Mack's multi award-winning hit show, and longest running sitcom on air, NOT GOING OUT returns to BBC One this March.

We rejoin Lee (Lee Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton) living in the anarchy of a packed family house with kids Charlie and twin siblings, Benji and Molly. As if children weren't enough to keep the couple crashing from one near-disaster to the next, factor in lovably feckless father, Frank (Bobby Ball), close friends in the form of the world-weary, or more specifically wife-weary, Toby (Hugh Dennis) and uptight ice-queen Anna (Abigail Cruttenden). At least Lucy's more dependable parents are on hand, but we know what Geoffrey (Geoffrey Whitehead) and Wendy (Deborah Grant) make of their daughter's life choices, and more specifically her wisecracking husband.

What could possibly go wrong this time for our couple with: Geoffrey (very reluctantly) trusting Lee and Lucy to help tidy his house while on holiday; Lucy thinking she's stumbled on the perfect birthday event for Lee... a trip to a slightly sinister Escape Room; a prized keyring going missing, leading to friendships being put to the test - not to mention a truly terrifying insight into Toby and Anna's marriage; deciding to introduce a pet into the house to teach "the kids" to be responsible; Lee and Lucy becoming addicted to the latest TV boxset and desperately trying to wriggle out of long-standing plans; the local Lollipop Man getting in the way of Lucy's goal to make THE FAMILY healthier; and Lucy considering that perhaps breast augmentation is the way to reconnect with the femininity she felt in her youth.

Lee Mack has established himself as one of the UK's most recognisable and celebrated comedians and the last few months has also seen Lee return as resident team captain on the eleventh series of Would I Lie To You? (BBC One).
