What will happen in the Not Going Out Christmas special?
This year's upcoming Christmas special will see Lee (Lee Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton) host New Year's Eve for both sides of the family, from Lee's feckless father Frank (Bobby Ball) to Lucy's uptight dad Geoffrey (Geoffrey Whitehead) and her mother Wendy (Deborah Grant), while friends Toby (Hugh Dennis) and his uptight wife Anna (Abigail Cruttenden) also join the celebrations.
"When parlour games are suspended in favour of a no-holds-barred round of New Year's Resolutions, the fireworks might be in the house when friendly suggestions on how to improve individual behaviour are received with not a lot of festive spirit," the BBC teases. "Will it be a Happy New Year for Lee and Lucy in suburbia?"
