Well observed comedy.

Lucy has cooked a special meal for her and Lee, intending to have a deo and meaningful conversation, Lee is more concerned about locating an irritating beeping noise in the house.

It's not my favourite episode this series, but then it has been a very strong series in my opinion. It was nice however, to see a back to basics episode, with just Lee and Lucy working out where they're at with one another.

Well observed humour, highlighting the irritations that each of us feel with our partners and loved ones. I liked the intimacy of it, it's been ages since we had an episode like this, but I am missing Toby and Anna.

You wonder why or how Anna and Toby are still together, we learn a little more now about the problems the couple are facing.

There's nothing worse than an irritating beep in the house.

7/10.

This is better from 'Not Going Out'. An episode that is less about the setting being the basis for comedy ('Train') and more about the Lee and Lucy relationship.

It all plays out well indeed, making for one of the better episodes of Series 13.

Sally Bretton is given a lot more to do, and it was nice to see Lee Mack play something a bit more dramatic at times too.

I mentioned in my previous review about how it would be nice to see why Lee and Lucy have remained together, and this episode gives us evidence of this.

On the whole, a different sort of 'Not Going Out' episode, almost the sort of thing 'Everybody Loves Raymond' did well back in the day, and it's all the better for it.

What the Beep the Meep is going on here. Lucy has cooked a romantic dinner for two but Lee is distracted by a regular beep that gets emitted.

At least it also distracts Lee from Lucy's horrible dinner. The starters are inedible.

Toby and Anna have taken a trip to New York to patch up their marriage. As Lee remarks the headquarters of the United Nations.

At one point, both put aside their irritations and plan to make love on the dinner table. Only to be interrupted by one of the kids.

I liked how Lee nearly brought down the house by trying to find what was causing the noise.

The hollow note was their daughter wanting Lucy to lie with her. They are all looking too old for stuff like that.
