Lee getting a vasectomy?

Lee's happiness over Lucy's decision whether to have more children is short lived when she drops a bombshell he hadn't taken into consideration.

Featuring: Lee Mack (Lee) & Sally Bretton (Lucy).

Press

Despite their household spend on Fruit Shoots and Skylanders nearing the combined GDP of Scandinavia, Lucy remains open to the idea of a Baby Number Four. Lee isn't quite as enthusiastic, so sitting down and having a frank, open discussion is the most reasonable option. Instead (and inevitably) psychological warfare breaks out, with Toby and Anna as reluctant referees. After all, is another offspring really worth all those weeks without wine?

Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 3rd March 2017
