Not Going Out
The Royal Television Society and Golden Rose award-winning sitcom returns to BBC ONE for an extended second series this autumn. Meet Lee (played by LEE MACK), a man who has a problem. His flatmate Kate has moved out for good and his best mate and landlord, Tim (fellow BAFTA Award winner and stand-up, TIM VINE), has put the apartment up for sale.
Faced with the prospect of losing the flat, not to mention his well-meaning but utterly useless cleaner Barbara (MIRANDA HART, Hyperdrive and Lead Balloon), Lee rents the spare room to Tim's ambitious younger sister Lucy (SALLY BRETTON, The Office and Green Wing). The arrangement turns out to be far from perfect however with high-flyer Lucy taking on Lee in a bidding war for the flat.
Sibling rivalry turns into full-on anxiety as uptight accountant Tim quickly becomes suspicious of Lee's influence on his kid sister. To top it all, Lee starts to seriously question the suitability of Lucy's new boyfriend (SIMON DUTTON, The Saint and Holby City).
Still unburdened by ambition or drive - although now the proud owner of an ice-cream van - Lee finds his plans for keeping the flat are not plain sailing. On the plus side, his new domestic set-up does lead him to discover the art world, the underworld, and the lengths one man will go for tickets to an England football match...
