เจาะลึก Not Going Out: เนื้อเรื่อง การสร้าง และเสียงวิจารณ์

Not Going Out is a British television sitcom created, written by and starring Lee Mack. It has aired on BBC One since 2006, making it the second-longest-running British sitcom, behind Last of the Summer Wine (1973–2010).

The show began with Mack as Lee, an unambitious man from Lancashire; Tim Vine as his best friend Tim; and Megan Dodds as Kate, Lee's landlady in the London Docklands and Tim's ex-girlfriend. From the second series, Sally Bretton replaced Dodds as Lucy, Lee's new landlady and Tim's sister. At the end of the seventh series, Lee proposes to and marries Lucy, and from the eighth to thirteenth series, they live in Walton-on-Thames with their three children. As of series 14, the couple live together in a countryside house, and Mack and Bretton are the only two main cast members.

Production history

Mack said in 2026 that Not Going Out originated with his 1999 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Lee Mack's Bits, alongside Catherine Tate and Dan Antopolski. The first joke he thought of was that he would be looking through a telescope, and then jolt it upwards when his wife walked in. He came up with around twelve ideas for "The Flat Sketch", and a television pilot was made in 2005. After receiving feedback that it was hard to believe that his and Tate's characters were a couple, he made them tenant and landlady, and came up with the title Not Going Out.

Producers Avalon assigned Andrew Collins to write alongside Mack. While their script for the pilot took a month to make, the pair spent every weekday of the first half of 2006 writing the five other episodes. Mack based his character on his experiences in his mid-20s, when he lived with friends and struggled for a career. The best friend character was initially called Colin, and was a tough man, similar to Tate's character. Tim Vine, who had acted alongside Mack on The Sketch Show, played Colin in the pilot, though the role was not written for him. When the series began, Mack renamed the character Tim and made his personality closer to Vine's own characteristics. Tate was unavailable for the series due to the popularity of The Catherine Tate Show, so Mack cast American actress Megan Dodds due to his love of American sitcoms. After her departure, she was replaced by Sally Bretton as Lucy. Miranda Hart played an acupuncturist in a series 1 episode, and Mack brought her back as cleaner Barbara for the next two series, until her departure for the sitcom Miranda. Katy Wix as Tim's girlfriend Daisy, and Bobby Ball as Lee's father Frank, were first introduced as one-off characters; Mack said that the frequent turnover of the cast meant that he did not introduce characters to be instantly recurring.

Not Going Out was cancelled in 2009 after its third series, but revived in 2011 after an online petition. Vine left after the fifth series in 2012, saying that he wanted a change. His character was written out by going on a work placement to Germany. The supporting characters Toby (Hugh Dennis) and Anna (Abigail Cruttenden) were introduced as replacements; Mack had enjoyed watching Cruttenden on P'tang, Yang, Kipperbang in 1982. The seventh series was pitched to Dennis and Cruttenden as the finale of Not Going Out. Mack felt that the premise of his character being attracted to his landlady but unable to express it was becoming unusual due to the characters' ageing, and the series concluded with Lee proposing to and marrying Lucy.

In May 2013, a British remake of Everybody Loves Raymond, starring Mack and Tate and titled The Smiths, was announced; Mack announced in December that it had been abandoned. Instead of running two sitcoms, Mack decided to convert Not Going Out into a sitcom about a family, like Everybody Loves Raymond. He took advice from the American sitcom's creator Philip Rosenthal to make stories based on real-life experiences and moved the timeline forwards seven years, with Lee and Lucy married and with three children, like the real-life Mack; the setting moved to Walton-on-Thames, near the actor's home. For Christmas 2018, the episode was broadcast live; on a producer's advice, Mack included scenes that would be difficult to perform live, such as having Dennis and Cruttenden perform "The Elements". Having enjoyed the audience interaction in the live episode, Mack wanted the show to always be live, but instead converted it to real time, introducing another timeline jump to Lee and Lucy living in the countryside after their children go to university.

Mack said in 2018 that he once threatened to cancel Not Going Out due to a dispute with the channel Dave, which aired repeats. As a non-drinker, he objected to alcohol being advertised during breaks on the show; the channel eventually met his demands. During the dispute, he turned down a guest appearance on Dave's Red Dwarf, a decision he regretted.

After the death of Ball in 2020, Mack planned a funeral episode for Frank, in which Ball's comedy partner Tommy Cannon would play the priest, as he had in the show's wedding episode in 2014, and mourners would include Ball's contemporaries Syd Little and Freddie Davies. The episode was abandoned because it was too sad, and was replaced by an episode in which Lucy's mother Wendy (Deborah Grant) paints an unflattering portrait of Frank, which Lee tries to hide.

Mack said in 2026 that he would rather the show have irregular Christmas specials, like Gavin & Stacey, than end with a designated finale.

Production process

Lee Mack and Andrew Collins were the initial writers, with Paul Kerensa, Simon Evans and Daniel Peak joining the team in later series. Mack is the last remaining actor from the original cast, and the only actor to appear in every episode.

The show currently uses the Chiswick Playhouse to present pre-production script read-throughs, by the cast, to the public. The show is recorded in front of a live audience at Elstree Studios, combined with on-location scenes.

Collins wrote in 2013 that the use of a laugh track and studio audience was considered unfashionable when the show debuted, due to series such as The Office that avoided them. According to producer Jamie Rix, the laughter may be taken from a first take, and then put over a later take in post-production if the first take had to be cut.

As of 2025, Not Going Out now holds the title of the UK's longest-running sitcom currently on air and is second only to Last of the Summer Wine in terms of longevity for prime time sitcoms in the UK.

Most of each episode was shot on set in front of an audience at Teddington Studios. There are two main sets: the flat/house and the bar/coffee shop that Lee frequently visits. Outdoor shots and real indoor location shots have also been used on occasion. The fourth and fifth series were shot at the BBC Television Centre. The sixth and seventh series saw filming return to Teddington Studios. International distribution is handled by Avalon who also produce the series. From Series 5 onwards, Not Going Out was produced in association with Lee Mack's own company, Arlo Productions (named after his son). The 2015 Christmas special was filmed on location in Wimbledon, in a department store, and was screened in London to record the laugh track. After Teddington Studios closed, series 8 was filmed at BBC Elstree Centre and series 9-14 were filmed at Pinewood Studios. Series 15 commenced recording at Elstree Studios on 27 March 2026. In series 6, for the episode entitled Boat, production visited the Port of Ramsgate in Kent to film part of the episode where Lee's dad, Frank (Bobby Ball), has bought a boat and invites Lee and his friends down to Eastbourne for the weekend. When they arrive, the boat is not what everyone expected.

The show is filmed in HDTV and, since series 4, airs simultaneously on BBC One HD. Previous to this, the show was not simulcast on BBC HD, but shown on BBC HD 30 minutes after the BBC One airing.

A lot of the humour is based on word play and double entendres delivered in a deadpan manner. This is a comedy style Mack and Vine have used both in stand-up and in The Sketch Show, to the extent that an occasional one-liner from their solo performances is slipped in. This is mostly one-sided, with Kate and later Lucy typically being the victims of the joke. Sight gags are also frequently used, while verbal gags and witticisms are incorporated into almost every line of script.

Mack said in 2026 that he regretted the profanity in early episodes of the series, as he was concerned about swearing on television since becoming a father, and the show only used bleeped profanity "strategically". According to Mack, the BBC interfered to remove partial nudity in a strip club scene in the series 4 episode "Life on Mars Bars", due to the Sachsgate scandal.

For the first series, episodes were written by Mack and Andrew Collins, with members of the cast credited for additional material. Because the eight episodes of the second series had to be written and filmed in a short space of time, Avalon Television brought in Peter Tilbury, Paul Kerensa and Simon Evans to join the writing team. Mack, Collins and Stacey concentrated on writing the main body of the episodes whilst Kerensa and Evans were involved in storylining, rewriting and 'gagging up' the episodes. The third series saw the writing team expanded, with Darin Henry, Daniel Peak, and Simon Dean contributing to the main episodes (all co-written with Mack). The "gag writing" team was also expanded, from two members to as many as eight, not counting the main writers, on a single episode. Milton Jones was among the additional writers of the show.

The theme song is performed by Frank Sinatra impersonator Stephen Triffitt.

The flat in which Lee and Kate/Lucy lived from 2006 to 2015 is No. 17. In a DVD commentary for the first series, it was mentioned that "Number 17" was originally considered as a title for the series, before the name "Not Going Out" was decided upon.

Synopsis

The series focuses on Lee Mack, who plays a fictional version of himself: an unambitious man, initially in his late thirties living as a lodger in a flat in the London Docklands. Originally from Chorley, Lancashire (which is approximately 20 miles from Southport, Mack's real-life birthplace), Lee is a negligent, unmotivated layabout. Frequently between jobs, he spends most of his days on his sofa watching television or at the local pub with his best friend, Tim Adams (Tim Vine), whom he has known for 15 years. Tim is an accountant from Henley-on-Thames who owns the flat in which Lee is a lodger. Lee is also noted for his cheeky wit and for having a very troubled relationship with his father, with whom he shares many traits and who says that Lee was unplanned and resulted in the end of his marriage.

Very often, the only thing that can get Lee off his sofa and active is his efforts to impress the girl of his dreams. In the first series, this girl is Kate (Megan Dodds), Lee's feisty American landlady, with whom he frequently has conflict but otherwise has a close relationship. Kate is Tim's ex-girlfriend; he left her for a 23-year-old named Emma (whom Lee and Kate frequently suggest looked a lot younger), but he is single again after Emma left him.

In Series 2, with Dodds having left the show, Kate moves back to the United States. Lee's affections soon turn to Tim's sister, Lucy (Sally Bretton), who is a decade younger than Tim. Lucy buys the flat, much to Tim's annoyance, after having spent ten years living in Switzerland. She shares Kate's feisty nature and quick wit, and her interactions with Lee are very similar. Although his frequent laziness annoys her, Lucy sometimes appears to enjoy Lee's presence in the flat, largely because of his company and his willingness to help her out of an awkward situation. Tim soon finds himself drawn into Lee's many schemes to impress Lucy, most of which backfire, fail to impress her or land them in trouble. Often, Lee finds himself confiding in his friend and cleaner, Barbara (Miranda Hart), about his many problems.

Later on in the series, Tim forms a relationship with Daisy (Katy Wix), an incredibly dim-witted, but likeable, young woman. In Series 3, Daisy becomes a regular character. Meanwhile, Lucy considers marrying an Eastern European refugee in a marriage of convenience, until he marries Barbara instead. Later on, Lee's father, Frank (Bobby Ball) returns to try to make amends with his son. In Series 4, Lee continues his antics to impress Lucy. In the series finale, Lee gets hit by a car and falls into a coma. Lee's actions to impress Lucy continue well into Series 5, when they both think they accidentally slept together after drinking potato hooch.

In Series 6, after Vine quit the series, Tim was written out of the show. In the opening dialogue of the series, it is explained that he has been given a work placement in Germany. Daisy continues her friendship with Lucy and Lee, and her naivety often gets them in trouble. With Tim's absence, Lee often finds himself listening to suggestions from Daisy on how to impress Lucy, which include acting as a test subject for her psychology course. 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 comes close to admitting his feelings to Lucy several times over the course of the series, particularly at the end of episodes Therapy and Play, but although she is receptive, he changes his mind each time.

In Series 7, Lee and Lucy meet new neighbours Anna (Abigail Cruttenden) and Toby (Hugh Dennis). In the final episode of the series, Toby lies to Lee, saying Lucy has had a date, after which Lee tells Lucy that he loves her and asks Lucy to marry him. She agrees and they marry in the Christmas special of the series; Tim Vine makes a brief guest reappearance. In the 2015 Christmas Special, Lucy gives birth to her and Lee's first child.

In Series 8, Lee and Lucy have been married for eight years; the series is set seven years after the 2015 Christmas special. Lee has landed a job as a car salesman and they have moved out of the flat and now live in a house in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey (Mack lives in the nearby village of East Molesey in real life). They now have three children, seven-year-old Charlie (Finley Shouthby) and five-year-old twins Benji (Max Pattison) and Molly (Francesca Newman). Daisy is no longer in Lee's and Lucy's lives, but the couple remain friends with Toby and Anna. They are also in touch with Lucy's parents, Geoffrey and Wendy, and with Lee's feckless father, Frank, until his death is confirmed at the beginning of the twelfth series, reflecting the real-life death of Bobby Ball in October 2020.

In Series 14, another six years have passed since the 2023 Christmas special. Lee and Lucy move to another house in the country since their kids have gone to university. Additionally, Toby, Anna, Geoffrey, and Wendy do not appear in this series.

In Series 15, Anna and Toby make a guest appearance in Episode 2

Series 1–7: Docklands era

Lee is a juvenile and lazy slacker, who goes from one job to another, living off the good graces of his Californian landlady Kate (Megan Dodds), with whom he shares a flat in London. It is not long before they find that their friendship is changing into something more. The situation is somewhat complicated by the fact that Lee's best friend Timothy Gladstone Adams (Tim Vine), an accountant from Henley, is Kate's ex-boyfriend (they broke up when he cheated on her with 23-year-old Emma) and he wants to repair their relationship. Lee is torn between pursuing his romantic feelings for Kate and remaining loyal to his increasingly paranoid best friend.

Kate has gone back to America in series two, leaving Tim with a flat and lodger he cannot afford to keep. Tim's sister Lucy Adams (Sally Bretton), a head hunter recently back from ten years abroad, buys the flat and becomes the new landlady and flatmate to Lee. Tim also hires a cleaner, Barbara (Miranda Hart), to clean the flat. In Gay, the series' second episode, 51-year-old Guy first appears and he soon becomes Lucy's boyfriend. Lee, now an ice-cream seller, later appears to fall for Lucy. In the last episode, Tim and Lee are convinced Guy is a gangster and has been smuggling diamonds, but it turns out that he was having a diamond engagement ring made for Lucy planning to propose on a romantic holiday. Lee leaves the airport thinking Lucy has said yes to Guy, but she returns saying that she was too young to get married and that she had split up with Guy. There was also a Christmas Special in 2007 which introduced Tim and Lucy's parents - Wendy (Deborah Grant) and Geoffrey (Geoffrey Whitehead) - for the first time. In episode 6, Lee meets a ditzy woman called Daisy at speed dating, who later appeared to fall for Tim. Although at the time it seems that she will be a one-time character, she reappears in the Christmas special as Tim's girlfriend and returns in series three.

The third series sees Lee trying to pursue Lucy. Usually encouraged by Barbara, he invariably ends up making things worse for himself. We also witness Lucy questioning her sexuality, which worries Lee. Daisy also becomes more of a fixture in series three. In the last episode, Lucy is about to marry Pavlov, a mechanic, so he can stay in the country. However, she realises that she's made a mistake, and Lee gets Barbara to marry Pavlov instead; the last scene is of them driving off together for their honeymoon in India. 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. Lucy and Lee kiss under the mistletoe.

A fourth series of six episodes was filmed from late September to early November 2010. Miranda Hart did not return as Barbara, as filming of the second series of her own sitcom Miranda was also taking place. The series began airing on 6 January 2011. The series sees Lee and Tim thrown into a drugs deal after Tim accidentally takes someone else's coat in a nightclub, Lee and Tim discovering that either one of them could have a long-lost daughter, Lee accidentally agreeing to let a porn film be shot in his and Lucy's flat, Lee having to organise a fireworks display and return an elderly woman to her son, and Tim and Lucy's parents' rough patch in their 40-year marriage. The series finishes with a near death experience for Lee, who later organises a date with Lucy.

The fifth series, consisting of six episodes, was filmed between November and 22 December 2011 and aired on BBC One from 13 April 2012. A short Children in Need special featuring Terry Wogan followed later in 2012 which was filmed in the recording block for series 6.

The sixth series began airing on 5 April and ended on 31 May 2013. This was the first series since the departure of Tim. In this series, Lucy accidentally kills two rabbits. Other episodes show Lee, Lucy and Daisy ending up stuck in a ski lift with a heavily pregnant woman, Lee getting stalked, Lucy and Lee hosting a children's party, and the main characters find themselves in another of Frank's schemes as he deliberately sinks a boat for insurance purposes. A Christmas special aired on 24 December 2013, with Mack's real-life son making a cameo appearance as a ghost.

On 5 April 2013, whilst promoting the sixth series of Not Going Out on The One Show, Lee Mack confirmed that a seventh series had been commissioned. Filming for this series began 23 May 2014, and later finished on 25 July 2014. The seventh series aired from 17 October 2014 to 24 December 2014 and consisted of ten episodes, making it the longest series to date. Lee Mack, Sally Bretton, Katy Wix, Bobby Ball, Geoffrey Whitehead and Deborah Grant all reprise their roles as Lee, Lucy, Daisy, Frank, Geoffrey and Wendy respectively, whilst Hugh Dennis and Abigail Cruttenden join the cast as new neighbours Toby and Anna, who soon struggle to share a building with Lee and Lucy.

Lee and Lucy are mugged, attend a dinner party and try to conceive a baby together. In episode 5, Lee and Daisy go on the BBC game show, Pointless. Hosts Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman make appearances throughout the episode. In episode 9, Lee finally reveals his love for Lucy and asks her to marry him. She says, "Yes". Episode 10 features their wedding day, with Lee, Frank, and Lucy's dad, Geoffrey all ending up in jail after a drunken stag night. There are guest appearances from Tim Vine (who came back for this episode), and Bobby Ball's comedy partner, Tommy Cannon as the vicar. An outtakes episode aired 27 December 2014. Hosted by Mack, Sally Bretton and Katy Wix.

Lee Mack announced on Alan Carr: Chatty Man that there would be a Christmas Special in 2015 and possibly another series in 2016. Talking to BBC News, Mack gave an outline of the special; it follows on from the marriage of Lucy and Lee in "The Wedding", the most recent episode, and involved a gun. Mack also announced that the special would not be filmed before a studio audience, unlike past episodes, and that he had written its first scenes.

The Christmas special aired on 24 December 2015, where the regular cast were involved in an armed robbery in a department store. Frank was working as an elf in the Christmas department, when Lee, Lucy and Daisy were with Toby and Anna, who had sent their son away over Christmas. The two security guards were attacked by the armed robber who locked them all in the security room, and Lee had a showdown with the armed robber. The episode ended with Lucy giving birth to Charlie, the couple's first child.
