Not Going Out (2006– )
4/10
Long Time since this was funny
23 April 2022
Ah - this used to be genuinely funny and very clever - but alas, no longer.

The best of this series was when it featured Tim Vine (S1-5). Since then it has become tired, hackneyed, predictable and rather tedious.

There was a time when the episode scenario was at least faintly believable but then this moved into a new era where it did not matter what was happening so long as there was time for the usual jokes with their canned laughter accompaniment.

We could just about live with the dim character played by Katy Wix but after she left it became increasingly unfunny. The main characters were given children who seem to appear once in a blue moon and the series is frequently populated by morons who do not question the imbecility of what is happening.

Loved this once - now it has become embarrassing. Such a shame.
