Not Going Out - Season 12

Wendy paints a portrait of Lee's late father, Frank, and gives it to Lee and Lucy as a present. She is expecting them to love it, but that would require the painting to be not just competent but good. Once it's hanging on their wall, Lee and Lucy must contrive to lose the painting without Wendy or Geoffrey noticing.

When Lee accidentally sends a rude text about Anna to Lucy, he makes the stupid mistake of sending it to Anna herself. Lee and Lucy now face the impossible task of stealing Anna's phone and deleting the text before she reads it.

Lee makes no effort to talk to other parents in the playground, and Lucy is worried that he is becoming isolated and friendless. She fires him up to go into school and make some new friends. Reluctantly Lee gives it a try. He opens up with strangers and makes friends with another lone male, Keith. But Keith is even less sociable than Lee.

Confined to a wheelchair, his right leg encased in plaster after knee surgery, Lee has too much time on his hands, which he uses to watch the world go by through a pair of high-powered binoculars. He soon realises that all is not well in his neighbour's house opposite. In fact, he's quickly convinced that something despicable is going on.

Lee does jury service and joins eleven other jurors to debate whether the accused is guilty or not. A simple enough task - until Lee decides to put the other jurors on trial.

Lee organises a family camping trip in an attempt to bring the generations together. But even though he has remembered to bring his guitar for campfire sing-songs, he's forgotten to check the weather. And when Lucy finds something in the woods that looks very much like a human bone, the unhappy campers cannot wait to leave.
