Lee Mack’s multi award-winning hit sitcom, Not Going Out, returns to BBC One this April. 

We jump straight back into the suburban-madness as married couple Lee (Lee Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton); Lee’s lovably feckless father, Frank (Bobby Ball); best friends, world-weary Toby (Hugh Dennis) and uptight ice-queen Anna (Abigail Cruttenden); Lucy’s generally disappointed father Geoffrey (Geoffrey Whitehead) and nice mum Wendy (Deborah Grant), show courage and selflessness… are in very, very short supply.  As the family and friends take off for a sponsored group skydive for a local Children’s Ward, surely any emerging fears will be suppressed for the good of all on board and the soon-to-be-benefiting children?

Into the series Lee and Lucy grapple with concerns over the kids’ sex education classes (of course Lee decides he’s the best person to take over); make the immediately questionable decision to go on a holiday with Toby and Anna; deal with a terrible Ofsted report at the kids’ school, which leads not only to moral dilemmas, but some slightly awkward religious passing-off; endure Lee’s hypochondria over his failing memory; untangle a complex mystery involving the smashing of a precious family heirloom; and ‘manage’ a builder whose attitude to deadlines is somewhat relaxed.  How could it all not go to plan?

Not Going Out series 10 starts on BBC One on Monday 15th April.
