No matter how good an addition the three children to the family dynamic in Not Going Out were, the opportunity for the show to reinvent itself for a third time and be the beacon for some truly quality farce is not only welcome, it is a necessity of a mainstream channel to highlight a programme capable of bringing the backbone of humour to life.
