Sally Bretton on bbc 1 , Slippy !

I love that woman

Beautiful, great sense of humour and no doubt has got a few quid, what's not to like!

She's taken, unfortunately

Bretton has three daughters with her husband, Lee,[3] a photographer.

Just watched this. Was a bit disappointed with it at first but it picked up towards the end. 

Don't think it will be so good now there are kids in it but I love this show so I will stick with it.

Agree, MD. It seemed a bit like any run-of-the-mill sitcom during the scenes in the house but picked up on the train.

It's the longest-running sitcom that's still active.

It's more difficult to do in front of a live audience....Sally was a bit stressed and not timing everything perfectly.

Should be filmed with no audience ( they can do more retakes then) and then shown to an audience to record real laughter to put on top.

The kids' scenes felt stilted and pasted on (as they probably were so they could not hear Lee saying rude words). They also made it seem a bit like early Outnumbered, especially when Hugh Dennis appeared.

For years Lee Mack has been planning to do a British remake of Everybody Loves Raymond with Catherine Tate. Due to her own work Tate hasn't been able to commit to the project so this is that project realised by extending Not Going Out.

apparently bbc have already commissioned series 9 and 10!

Lee Mack is in the BBC handshake brigade

the problem is that I didn't laugh last night. and before, I couldn't stop

and wheres Daisy...let alone Tim?

I thought the Daisy stupidity thing was overdone. The Tim and Lee gags were pretty good but you could see them coming a mile off.

Having said that, the stories were good and up until now I thought it was a great show.

On again....can see from start on Iplayer

Gone right off Sally...... moaning about swearing...... she's a prude this thing

I think lee mack is fantastic, I'm recording it, he's got a live show on C4 right now, catch it at 11:00 on c4+1.

*she's a prude on this thing

May record the Mac program looks like it is not a repeat from the TV Guide

Just watching last night's Not Going Out.

I can recommend it to those who were disappointed last week. It's very funny
