3. Not Going Out
What do you get if you cross my favourite stand-up of Tim Vine with the hilarious Lee Mack, throw in a live studio audience and a sitcom that echoes back to the golden era of sitcoms? 'Not Going Out', about the only sitcom still running that I ever want to watch and thankfully returning soon for a fifth - and later a sixth - series.
Telling the story of Lee, a hopeless Northerner, who lusts after his landlady Lucy (Kate in series one) whilst putting up with effeminate toff Tim, his ditsy girlfriend Daisy and a range of surreal scenarios from filming a porn film, to drugs, to helping a baby that has swallowed a subbuteo ball.
Mixing in Lee Mack's adult humour with Tim Vine's one-liners with support from excellent writers such as Andrew Collins and stand-ups like Milton Jones, 'Not Going Out' is a modern classic full of witty lines and great scenarios, and is immensly quotable.
