British Comedy Guide, 25th August 2021Review: Not Going Out
Well I guess if one sitcom title sums up 2020 it's this one. And they've given us a sort of socially distanced lockdown episode to see out the old year and see in the new (albeit a day early) with the entire cast including Bobby Ball all in one room throughout the special.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th December 2020Not Going Out Christmas special review
Old-school festive chuckles, with the late Bobby Ball as cheeky as ever.
Catherine Pearson, Radio Times, 30th December 2020Not Going Out: series 10 review
It's in a different phase of its life but it's still much the same.
Jacob Gibbs, On The Box, 15th April 2019TV review: Not Going Out Live, BBC One
Let's be honest, you watched the live edition of Not Going Out hoping that the scenery would fall on Lee Mack didn't you?
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd December 2018Not Going Out live episode review
A live version of Not Going Out was never going to be as inventive as Inside No 9 doing the same - real-time tweets, big plot twists and all. But true to form, it's was safely, but not excitingly, funny.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd December 2018Not Going Out Christmas special to be broadcast live
A Christmas special of Lee Mack's sitcom Not Going Out is to be broadcast live on BBC One on 21st December.
British Comedy Guide, 26th November 2018Not Going Out review - Lee Mack's interminable comedy
It's unoriginal, unfunny and unapologetic about its retro roots. Why does anyone like this lukewarm sitcom?
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 21st January 2017Not Going Out series 8 preview
Not Going Out isn't the sort of emotive, appointment-to-view comedy that so many artistically motivated comics are making. But the rarity of being a light sitcom that's dependably funny thanks to script and character - not the dated, grating extravagance of the likes of Citizen Khan or Mrs Brown's Boys - is quite the achievement. No wonder it's future is assured. The day Not Going Out is not going out on TV is a long way off.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 13th January 2017Not Going Out: the family sitcom?
Whilst I didn't find much to enjoy/laugh about in these opening episodes you can never count out Not Going Out. It had faced adversity many a time and coming bouncing back and at time when BBC comedy mainly consists of Still Open All Hours, Citizen Khan and Mrs. Brown's Boys perhaps I should just shut up and enjoy it.
