Review: 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.

Not 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.
