Fast-forwarding this series from Lee and Lucy finally getting together, then settling down and having three children hasn’t really altered the structure, but why would you tinker with one of the BBC’s longest-running sitcoms?
It’s the writing, in particular the sheer volume of one-liners, that has always made Not Going Out so watchable and that’s not changed, either. Solid Friday-night entertainment.
