Not Going Out
Created by Lee Mack
On BBC One
A cheerful, character-driven British sitcom built on the affectionate chaos of a small ensemble and the reliable reset of episodic farce.
Lee is a childish northerner who lives in a fancy penthouse apartment in London who goes through a variety of jobs such as a janitor and ice cream man, as well as attempting relationships with female flatmates. His best mate, Daily Mail reading, middle-class citizen Tim is always there to stop Lee from getting in trouble, or not? Mayhem is never far away with cleaner Barbara who has never done an honest day's work in her life.
