The sitcom `Not Going Out', produced by Richard Allen-Turner and Jon Thoday and created by Lee Mack, focuses on Lee Mack's character Lee, an unambitious lodger who spends most of his days on the sofa or in the pub with friends. The only motivation and drive to get Lee off of the couch and active is to pursue the girl of his dreams. Set during the span of several years, and thus covering major changes in Lee's life, the sitcom shows how Lee evolves from a sofa-dweller to a family man facing the joy and relentless onslaught of bringing up kids and dealing with his in-laws.
