Had me howling, a great start to Series 10.

I have looked forward to this new series since the live Christmas episode, and this did not disappoint. A bit of a classic, which sees them fighting over not doing a parachute jump, in typical Not going out style.

Think ten little Indians in a plane, where they all attempt to manipulate and pull one over on each other. The script was excellent, the gags were hilarious, and as always the deliveries were perfection. Once again it's the caustic dialogue between Frank and Geoffrey that made it, the pair are just comedy dynamite.

No wonder it's currently the BBC's longest running comedy, it's the best by a country mile.

The only criticism, Monday night? Really? Deserves a Friday night slot.

Gold! 9/10

Parachute

Not Going Out is back for a 10th series and this is a very strong opening episode and they saved on the budget as well.

Lee and Lucy, their parents along with Toby and Anna are doing a sponsored parachute jump.

I am not sure what prior training they had. Lee seems to be petrified and when the place takes off, the instructor finds out that there is one less parachute.

The question is who is going to be left behind.

I found myself laughing a few times, the gags come thick and fast and a well constructed episode. It certainly did not crash land.
