Synopsis
NOT GOING OUT is a BBC sitcom played mostly on the effects of deadpan and wordplay. The series stars Lee Mack as Lee, a confused, lethargic and unmotivated thirty-something living in London with Kate, an attractive and successful American whom he falls for. Unfortunately Kate is Lee’s landlady and, even worse, his best friend Tim’s ex girlfriend. Features all the episodes from the first season of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, simple, and too funny!, 14 Sep 2007
This show has hardly any actors, any sets, but still makes me laugh more than most sitcoms. Full of one-liners, it is one of the best comedies for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Side splitting, rib aching comedy!, 19 May 2008
By JonA (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
It is a rare day when I write a review of any product but this comedy series really does deserve my time in trying to persuade other people to pick up this DVD. I have never, ever, in my life found myself laughing as much or as hard at any comedy show (or any comedy performance in fact). The jokes fly thick and fast and not one misses it's target.

It is clearly a series designed as a vehicle for Lee Mack's (Northerner sharp sarcasm) and Tim Vine's (Southerner dry wit) comedy material but this is in no way a bad thing. Both are comedy geniuses. They are both quintessentially British and, despite the presence of the wonderful American actress Megan Dobbs, the show is just overflowing with everything the epitomises traditional British humour. The show flows well and never stalls or slows down and each 30 minute episode feels half that length. I watched this three hour DVD straight through without actually realising the time - another plus point is that if you are newcomer to the series sitting down to watch this show for the first time with this DVD then clear the next 3 hours. It is very much a case of "I'll watch just one more episode" feeling after watching each one.

It may well be that I and my circle of friends are known for being rather sarcastic people which means this comedy appeals to me (and them) more but I personally think this lends the comedy a certain non-OTT value. I actually know people who are just as sharp and witty in their sarcasm as Lee Mack is here and thus I can actually relate to the situation and the comedy in this sitcom.

In short, if you like the sarcastic and caustic humour with the memorable one liners like seen in the past in series like Black Adder, Red Dwarf etc then I urge you try this series. It really is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just gag after gag after gag, 25 Oct 2007
Sometimes you can see the gag coming - most of the time it hits you right between the eyes. But it's all very, very funny.

A sit-com at a hundred miles an hour with belly laughs aplenty.

Great stuff from Lee Mack, Tim Vine et al.
