Scott

Scott Perry (portrayed by Simon Farnaby) is a minor character in the BBC sitcom Not Going Out.

Scott was the first ever boyfriend of Lucy (Sally Bretton). He appears in the episode Play, however he is mentioned in the preceding episode Rachel as winning a toy stuffed hammer as a prize at the funfair on his and Lucy's first ever date.

Scott and Lucy met when they were 18, but Scott went travelling without telling Lucy that their relationship was over; this infuriated Lucy up to the present day. Scott reappears in Lucy's life when her parents ask her to perform as his love interest in a new play that Scott has written. Lucy and Scott take a walk down memory lane and chat about their past relationship. Scott shows Lucy his utmost regret at the manner in which he left her, and Lucy appears to forgive him, to Lee's (Lee Mack) dismay.

The play that Scott has written is called 'The Kiss', with the title moment to happen at the end between Scott's character and Lucy's character, making her nervous throughout rehearsals. Lee is convinced that Scott has written this play in order to help him rekindle his love with Lucy, and to kiss her once more at the end. Lee gets the part of the evil husband of Lucy, characterised to despise Scott's character, both of whom are embedded in a love triangle around Lucy's character.

Following the play, Lucy decides that her and Scott are best going forwards just as friends.
