"They're really not bothered whether it’s on or not," he said."My wife doesn't really watch it and although my eldest has just started to, it's not his favourite show by a long way – and why would it be?"He continued:"The only feedback I get from him is the occasional slightly arched eyebrow if he likes one of my character's jokes. That's high praise in my house. He did actually appear in the 2013 Christmas special.
The actor also explained that his family life often inspires the storylines for the comedy."The truth is I just wanted to write a sitcom about what I am in real life, which is a husband and dad of three kids." Will there be a new series of Not Going Out? Good news! Not Going Out will return to screens for a new series in 2022. While filming was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the sitcom began airing again in early 2021 and will be followed by a new series this year.
