Not Going Out. Image shows from L to R: Geoffrey (Timothy West), Lee (Lee Mack), Daisy (Katy Wix)
When Tim and Lee try to organise a surprise party for Lucy's 30th birthday their ideas of what makes a good party differ widely.

Further details

Tim likes a few games of charades while Lee likes a party with no competitors for Lucy's attention. So when Lucy turns up at the party arm-in-arm with another man, Lee makes it his mission to get rid of him... without causing a scene, obviously.
