Not Going Out, 100th episode review
The second longest-running British TV sitcom is starting to feel repetitive - but it's still a pleasant farce.
Rachael Healy, i Newspaper, 24th December 2023Not Going Out, BBC1, review
Twelve series in, the comic timing is still spot on and the cast have great chemistry but the script just isn't funny as it should be.
Rachael Sigee, i Newspaper, 25th March 2022Review: Not Going Out
Well I guess if one sitcom title sums up 2020 it's this one. And they've given us a sort of socially distanced lockdown episode to see out the old year and see in the new (albeit a day early) with the entire cast including Bobby Ball all in one room throughout the special.

Henry Yates, The Guardian, 27th May 2019Review - Not Going Out: zinger after zinger

Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 22nd April 2019TV review: Not Going Out Live, BBC One
Let's be honest, you watched the live edition of Not Going Out hoping that the scenery would fall on Lee Mack didn't you?
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd December 2018Not Going Out live episode review
A live version of Not Going Out was never going to be as inventive as Inside No 9 doing the same - real-time tweets, big plot twists and all. But true to form, it's was safely, but not excitingly, funny.
