Lucy's unimpressed with Lee, he's behaved badly at Christmas dinner with her parents. Barbara has suggested he tones down his laddish behaviour, and that he has a softer side. A soft lit, romantic evening is disturbed when Lee's father Frank turns up at the door. Lee is sceptical by Frank's return, Lucy convinces him to give Frank a second chance. Lee throws him out, but Frank tells Lee he's dying. Lee gives Frank a day doing what he wants, but soon discovers the truth.
What an inspired bit of casting getting Bobby Ball into the show was, I utterly love Bobby Ball, he's a true funnyman, he bounces off Lee Mack so well, they make a great combination.
Some utterly painfully hilarious lines, Not going out is famed for its Christmas specials, and this was the first of the really brilliant ones.
Just fabulous. 9/10
