The new series of Not Going Out is set to premiere this week.
The show stars Lee Mack, who also created the series, as a fictionalised version of himself: an unambitious man in his late thirties living in a flat in the London Docklands.
Lee soon becomes the lodger of his best friend Tim's (Tim Vine) sister, Lucy (Sally Bretton). The series chronicles the pair's ups and downs of living together and going from friends to one of TV's most popular couples.

Premiering in 2006, Not Going Out has since become the second-longest-running British sitcom, behind Last of the Summer Wine - which ran from 1973 to 2010.
Here's everything you need to know about season 14 of the hit sitcom, including release date, cast and episode details.
When will the new series of Not Going Out be released?
Not Going Out's 14th season will air on One on Friday, June 13 at 9pm, with new episodes airing weekly. The entire season will also be available as a box set on BBC .
Who is in the cast of Not Going Out?As well as Lee and Lucy, it has been revealed that Mike Wozniak, Ray Fearon and Eileen O'Brien will appear in the first episode of season 14.
It's not yet clear whether Lee and Lucy's friends, Anna (Abigail Cruttenden) and Toby (Hugh Dennis), or Lucy's parents, Wendy (Deborah Grant) and Geoffrey (Geoffrey Whitehead), will appear in the series.
Lee Mack previously revealed that he did try to get Noel Gallagher to guest star in an Oasis-themed episode, but he didn't hear back.
"I'd been listening to Rob Brydon's podcast, and he'd interviewed Noel," Lee explained.
"I got Noel's number off him and sent him a text asking if he'd be on the show, but he never got back to me. It's been eight months now, so I think it's a no!"
How many episodes are in Not Going Out season 14?The new series of Not Going Out consists of six episodes. They are titled House Move, Doll, Campervan, Oasis, Dragon Castle and Hotel Room.
In the first episode, Lee and Lucy decide to move house and view the home of their dreams, but when Lee asks to use the toilet, tensions are created with the homeowner.
Episode four sees the couple try to buy tickets to the Oasis reunion concert, but when they lose their place in the online queue, they quickly start to blame each other.
The final episode of the series features Lee using his collection of free discount vouchers to stay overnight at a mid-range hotel. He makes sure to take advantage of all the hotel's complimentary services.
What is the huge format change in Not Going Out?
In 2017, the series featured a seven-year time-jump, with married couple Lucy and Lee moving out of their flat and into a house in Walton-on-Thames, where they were raising their three young children.
Now, the show is changing again, with another time-jump seeing Lee and Lucy moving house, away from their family home which has become an "empty nest".
The episodes will also be taking on a new format, with each instalment playing out in real time - something that has been done in previous episodes, but not in a consistent format.
"What I'm trying to do is get the audience involved, to make them feel like they're witnessing an event that's happened. And hopefully that carries over when you're watching at home," Lee Mack explained.
Not Going Out season 14 premieres on BBC One on Friday, June 13 at 9pm. Season 15 has already been confirmed
