What is Not Going Out?
Not Going Out is a British television sitcom that has aired on BBC One since 2006. It’s tenth series aired this April, with its eleventh series set to grace our screens next year.
The programme follows an unambitious man, Lee (Lee Mack), in his late thirties – who lives as a lodger in a London flat. He is a nonchalant, unmotivated layabout whose life has brought laughter to viewers for the past 14 years.
Though the early series focused on Lee's mishaps as a single man, more recent episodes picked up with him years later when he was married to Lucy (Sally Bretton) and a father of two.
What happened in the last episode of Not Going Out?
The last time we saw the dazzlingly hilarious cast of Not Going Out was for their Halloween special in October this year. Lee misplaced his phone when out trick-or-treating, returning alone in the middle of the night (dressed as a zombie) to find it. He ends up locked in an imposing old manor house, in which a mysterious woman lives.
