Not Going Out: Halloween Special review
Despite the growing popularity of trick or treat, special Halloween episodes of British sitcoms are still relatively rare.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th October 2019TV preview: Not Going Out Halloween Special, BBC One
Is Lee Mack trying to muscle in on Inside No 9 territory? This Halloween edition of the enduring light-hearted domestic sitcom has scarier ambitions than usual. It is even scheduled later than it usually goes out. Although don't worry too much about the kids having nightmares. I'm sure they watch nastier stuff on their phones in bed.
