Not Going Out

Outtakes from Series 1, 2, 3 & 4.

In an effort to create the perfect Christmas for Lucy, Lee invites her parents to join the two of them and Daisy in a snug old house in the country which used to belong to his dear dead aunt.

Dragooned into organising a Christmas variety show to raise money for their children's school, Lee and Lucy find quality acts thin on the ground.

Lee and Lucy take the children out trick or treating for Halloween, but the night soon turns disastrous for Lee when he loses his phone on the porch of a spooky Victorian house. Once he returns to the house to retrieve his phone, Lee discovers that the house is full of secrets that would be far better left undisturbed.

We all know Christmas simply wouldn't be Christmas without a giant inflatable Santa, an aggressive bull in a field and a terrifying truck driver.

With 40 minutes to go until midnight, a New Year’s Eve party at Lee and Lucy’s house turns sour when family members start making their resolutions.

A family Christmas party turns sour when Lucy announces that she has got tickets to see Jason Donovan in panto. Lee loathes panto, especially given Jason Donovan was Lucy’s teenage crush. That night, while Lee and Lucy turn their backs on each other in bed, Lee has an unsettling dream in which he is dressed as Buttons and his whole life has turned into a pantomime. Lucy is Cinderella, Toby and Anna are the Ugly Sisters, Geoffrey is Baron Hardup, and Wendy is the Fairy Godmother - and Prince Charming, the handsome suitor who pursues Cinderella and asks for her hand in marriage, is played by Jason Donovan. Can Buttons keep the fairy-tale couple apart?

Lee throws everything at creating the perfect family Christmas, agreeing to Lucy's wishes to do something charitable and having "a normal Christmas where nothing goes wrong." This moment of festive spirit sees the couple invite Wilfred, a lonely pensioner from the nearby care home, to join them for Christmas dinner. The only instruction is that Wilfred is not, under any circumstances, allowed to drink alcohol...
