NOT GOING OUT SEASON 2
NOT GOING OUT SEASON 2
Lee's flatmate Kate has moved out. Instead of letting his best mate and landlord, Tim, sell the apartment, Lee allows Tim's ambitious younger sister Lucy to move in instead. Lee's new domestic set-up leads him to discover the art world, the underworld, and the lengths one man will go for tickets to an England football match.
Kate returns to America and Tim puts the flat on the market, hiring Barbara, a cleaner who spends more time making wry comments than actually cleaning. Lee is hopeful to buy the flat himself and tries for a mortgage but ultimately, when he fails, Tim sells it to Lucy, whom Lee liked when she came as a potential tenant, and who turns out to be Tim's sister. Once again Lee finds himself with a resident landlady.
