run is scheduled for next year. Expressing his delight about Not Going Out reaching its 15th season, Lee revealed the item he always takes home with him from the programme's set. He

said in a statement: "I am delighted that the BBC are once again showing such great support for studio sitcom. "It's a genre I've always loved and to be able to be part

of it myself for so many years is both a privilege and an excuse not to have to shop, as I always take the underpants they give me home." BBC's director of comedy Jon Petrie added:

"'Not Going Out' is in rude health as it passes its centenary episode, and that’s due to the incredible creativity of Lee Mack, who has the most amazing ability to pack a

show full of jokes. “We’re excited for audiences to find out what the new chapter looks like for Lee and Lucy.” The upcoming batch of episodes will feature a time jump for Lee and Lucy, as

well as a slight change in format with the action for each episode now taking place in a 30-minute window. Article continues below Not Going Out’s 14 season’s synopsis reads: "Series 14

now rolls the story on several years again, with the couple moving away from their suburban 'empty nest' and finding plenty of time to focus on each other... what could possibly

go wrong? (Spoiler: quite a lot!)." This season will see Lee going up against a vendor when he asks to use the toilet, accidentally buying a sex doll, and his attempts to buy Oasis

tickets. Other episodes will see him and Lucy go on a campervan holiday together and taking advantage of a hotel’s ‘complimentary services’.
