War

War is the sixth episode of the eleventh series of Not Going Out and aired on 5th February 2021.

Synopsis
The family visit to the war graves in Normandy gets off to a bad start, and Lucy discovers that her grandfather, Wendy’s father, was not the man she thought he was.

Plot
A family trip to Normandy is interrupted when Wendy's (Deborah Grant) passport shows the incorrect date of birth according to Lucy (Sally Bretton). Lucy questions her mother, who reveals she is two years older than Lucy always believed. It is revealed that her uncle George, whose memorial they are going to visit in Normandy, is actually her biological father George Powell, an American serviceman who died during the D-Day landings in 1944. Wendy's father Jack, who she claimed escaped from Colditz, never actually did so, which made it biologically impossible for him to be Wendy's father. Frank also revealed that his mother had an affair with a German pilot which led to his birth, Lee's real grandfather.
