💨 Abstract

Lee Mack, creator of the long-running sitcom "Not Going Out," fears that studio-based sitcoms like his, "Fawlty Towers," and "Dad's Army" may become extinct. He attributes this to risk-averse commissioners and younger writers unfamiliar with the format. He praises the comedy's high joke rate and real-time shooting style. The show's 14th series begins this month, with Lee and his on-screen wife moving to the countryside.
