Well this is now the 4th Series of Lee Mack's excellent 'Not going out' and whats new, well Barbara the cleaner (Miranda Hart) has departed for her own show having been in series 2 & 3 otherwise its pretty much as you were.
Well crafted one liners and laugh out loud moments aplenty, Lucy (Sally Bretton) is barely in the first few episodes but the comedy doesnt suffer too much, the non-relationship element of the show is absent from those episodes but replaced by perfectly good comedy situations.
There are 6 episdoes in the series
Drugs - Tim acidentally collects someone elses coat at a nightclub an finds drugs in the pocket, Lee and Tim set about trying to return the coat to its owner to avoid trouble and due to a mix-up make matters worse. Great cameo appearance from comedian Ricky Grover as 'the Butcher'. 8/10
Debbie - A young woman turns up at the flat claiming to be Lee's daughter, Lee attempts to bond with her an then they discover her dad could be Lee or Tim or someone else. 7/10
Movie - Lee rents out the flat as a set for a movie against having been told not to by Lucy. The movie turn out to be a porn film and Lee ends up getting involved far more than he anticipated. 9/10
Dancing - Lucy and Tim's parents are having relationship trouble, their mother wants to 'Dance' with another man. Lee is chosen as the man for the job but on realising it means 'dance' not dance he is less than thrilled by the misunderstandings.
8/10
Fireworks - Its November the 5th and a lost old lady turns up at the flat, Lee with the help of Tim tries to work out where she lives which sidetracks Lee from organising some fireworks he promised to get for Lucy and him to enjoy in th evening. 9/10
Life on Mars Bars - A parody of TV series 'Life on Mars' Lee ends up getting hit by a car after a row with Lucy, he dreams of what life would be like with Lucy as he lays in a coma with Lucy, Tim and Daisy sit at his bedside. Guest star Bobby Ball as Lee's dad. 9/10
Extras 4 series worth of outtakes.
Light on extras but still a great series, consistantly funny, well scripted, brilliantly delivered gags.
Probably not as good as other series but still funnier than most shows on TV over the last few years.
Recommended.
