Not Going Out special for Children In Need 2012 featuring Terry Wogan.

In an effort to create the perfect Christmas for Lucy, Lee invites her parents to join the two of them and Daisy in a snug old house in the country which used to belong to his dear dead aunt. But the Christmas spirit is in short supply when Lucy discovers that the house has not been lived in for years and there appears to be a spooky presence. However, the spooky presence turns out to be Lee's dad Frank, who has also turned up to enjoy Christmas in the house with an old flame, and in an effort to get rid of the unwanted visitors he pretends the house is haunted by playing old music and leaving threatening messages on the cellar wall.

It is Christmas Eve and newlyweds Lee and Lucy are doing some last-minute shopping when an unexpected stranger turns their Christmas upside down.

It's Christmas Eve, and Lee and Lucy face a possible yuletide disaster when they discover the perfect present they have bought for their children has already been gifted to them by their grandparents.

We join Lee and Lucy live from their festively decorated living room, nervously discussing the Ding Dong Merrily on Live Christmas Spectacular - the Christmas variety show they've been strong-armed into organising to raise money for their children's school. But things are rarely plain sailing for our duo, as they soon come to realise, with an animal impersonator as the only confirmed performer, quality acts are worryingly thin on the ground. Who will Lee and Lucy turn to? Surely Toby and uptight wife Anna can't be roped in? With raw egg juggling and some knife throwing (CUT!) for good measure... what could possibly go wrong?

Lee and Lucy take the children out trick or treating for Halloween, but the night soon turns disastrous for Lee when he loses his phone on the porch of a spooky Victorian house. Once he returns to the house to retrieve his phone, Lee discovers that the house is full of secrets that would be far better left undisturbed.

Lee and Lucy pop out on a last-minute Christmas Eve mission, leaving their youngsters in the apparently capable hands of Geoffrey - cutting more of a strict and stuffy Victorian gent than usual - and wife Wendy. Alas, things don't quite go to plan for the outward-bound duo, as a theft and unexpected trip into deep countryside await. Not only that, but there are encounters with an aggressive bull in a field and a terrifying truck driver to endure. Meanwhile, back at home, Lee's lovably feckless father Frank turns up to offer gifts - in his own inimitably festive way.

Lee and Lucy plan some New Year's Eve festivities in this Christmas special, with both inviting their parents to join them. Things soon go badly wrong as party games give way to an uncompromising round of guests pointing out what New Year's resolutions everyone needs to make - with a distinct lack of festive spirit on display. Starring Lee Mack and Sally Bretton, and featuring the final appearance of Bobby Ball as Lee's feckless father Frank.

It’s Christmas, and Lee is not happy that Lucy has got tickets for them to see her teenage crush, Jason Donovan, in panto. In bed, Lee has an unsettling dream.

Lee makes a big effort to create the perfect Christmas for his family by agreeing to Lucy's wish to do something charitable for once. They invite a lonely old pensioner from the nearby care home to join them for Christmas dinner, only to discover that Wilfred is not allowed to drink alcohol.
