NOT GOING OUT: Lee Mack's sitcom returns for a remarkable 14th series – and with another time leap, with the characters of Lee and Lucy (Sally Bretton) now empty-nesters, moving away from the suburbs and having time for each other, for better or worse.

Mack told the Radio Times: 'What I’m trying to do is get the audience involved, to make them feel like they’re witnessing an event that’s happened. And hopefully that carries over when you’re watching at home.' BBC One, 9pm
