It had to happen sooner or later. BBC One has finally found a sitcom worth staying in for.... When was the last time any sitcom delivered a gag as perfect as: "Just because Thora Hird can't climb stairs doesn't mean she's a Dalek"? If you can think of any situation where you could shoehorn in a one-liner like that, I'd love to hear it. In the meantime, Not Going Out looks like the perfect solution to Friday nights.
Jane Simon, The Mirror, ????The joke in the modern sitcom was fast becoming an anachronism until Not Going Out came along... in Not Going Out we have a punning gag-rich half hour that speeds along without drawing breath.
