Lee Mack interview
TV Choice met Lee Mack to chat about the new series and life after Tim Vine...
Nick Fiaca, TV Choice, 26th March 2013Lee Mack reveals Not Going Out has different endings
Fans of the BBC One comedy Not Going Out may finally see the friendship between landlady, Lucy, and her flatmate develop into romance.
Mack, who plays unemployed lodger, Lee, has revealed that two versions of the final episode have been filmed.
BBC News, 22nd March 2013Anna Crilly and Katy Wix have converted last year's very good sketch pilot on Channel 4's Comedy Lab into a full series, and deservedly so. There are some super moments here, not least the filthy German Countdown spoof Kuntworts, featuring a cameo from Lee Mack, and the bizarre Congratulation, a daytime TV show which doles out congratulations to the public delivered in dicey West Indian accents followed by gusset flashing. In terms of originality, you can't argue with that.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 6th March 2013Like many comedy sketch shows, this first outing from likeable duo Anna Crilly and Katy Wix is a hit-and-miss affair. That's fine, though - the pair are still settling in and their skewed take on TV favourites offers plenty of promise. "Congratulation", a daytime show spoof done in West Indian accents falls flat, but there's a hilarious Scandinavian version of Countdown (complete with bewigged cameo from Lee Mack) and they nail the ludicrous business banter of The Apprentice to a tee.

British Comedy Guide, 20th February 2013Lee Mack: I'd love to do Not Going Out movie and tour
Hit BBC sitcom Not Going Out soon will go out for live dates - if star Lee Mack gets his way. Lee, who co-writes the series, wants to take the show on tour - and give it the movie treatment.
Nadia Brooks, The Sun, 14th December 2012This is one of those weeks when Norton's red banquette seems to have the pulling power of a locomotive. First there's Martin Freeman: the opening film of The Hobbit trilogy is released today, which means the diffident Freeman, who plays Bilbo Baggins, is about to turn into a major global star.
Also on the banquette will be Emma Thompson, Dawn French and TV's fastest wit, Lee Mack. Plus, for good measure, there's music from newly reunited Girls Aloud.
