Not Going Out – Series 1-7 [DVD]

Product Information

From Series 5 onwards, Not Going Out was produced in association with Lee Mack's own company, Arlo Productions (named after his son). This leads to Lee both finding out that he was an unplanned child and held responsible for the breakdown in his parents' marriage, and getting a girlfriend, who develops a Fatal Attraction-esque crush on him.

Lee Mack announced on Alan Carr: Chatty Man that there would be a Christmas Special in 2015 and possibly another series in 2016. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).Lee's flatmate Kate has moved out for good and his best mate and landlord, Tim has put the apartment up for sale. The misadventures continue with Lee, Lucy and Daisy getting stuck in a cable car on an Eastern European skiing trip , Lee convincing Lucy to spend a weekend on his dad’s (Bobby Ball) ‘stylish’ new boat even though she is terrified of water and Lucy accidentally running over her client’s daughter’s beloved pet rabbit.

Meanwhile, his best mate and uptight accountant Tim ( Tim Vine), struggles to get over his break-up with Kate and cope with her rapidly blossoming friendship with Lee. Barbara is seen back in the flat, wanting to go off with Lee's dad, Frank, who is seen in the last episode, which was broadcast as a Christmas Special on 23 December 2009. Lee is torn between pursuing his romantic feelings for Kate and remaining loyal to his increasingly paranoid best friend.

The series focuses on Lee Mack, who plays a fictional version of himself: an unambitious man in his late thirties living as a lodger in a flat in the London Docklands.
