Not Going Out: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

Pun-heavy British sitcom staring [[Lee Mack]] and [[Tim Vine]] as best friends [[The Danza|Lee and Tim]]. Lee lives with landlord Kate, Tim's ex-girlfriend; Kate moves back to America in the second series and is replaced by Tim's sister Lucy. Other supporting characters include Lee's cleaner Barbara (in series 2 and 3) and Tim's girlfriend Daisy (from series 2 onwards).

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: A subtle one. In "Art", Lee drops the line "everyone's a comedian" just after fellow comedian Justin Edwards leaves. Considering how many people in single-episode appearances or even walk-on parts ''were'' comedians, it's not far from the truth.

** In a series 2 episode, Lee pretends to be a doctor to get access to Lucy's boyfriend's daughter. This is likely a reference to the time [[Lee Mack]] bluffed his way into an appointment-booking job at a hospital.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Everyone to an extent.

* [[The Ditz]]: Daisy

* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: Lee and Tim frequently invokes this when a Lesbian couple moves downstairs.

* [[Hypocritical Humour]]: Lee rarely has a job, but constantly berates Barbara for never appearing to do hers.

* [[Retroactive Wish]]

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Barbara, for Lee/Lucy.

* [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]]: The karaoke song Tim starts singing the same moment {{spoiler|Debbie tells Lee she thinks he's her father.}}

* [[Terrible Interviewees Montage]]: Lee's attempt at speed-dating.
