Parachute

Parachute was the first episode of the tenth series of Not Going Out and originally aired on 15 April 2019.

Synopsis
Toby organises a sponsored parachute jump to raise money for a children’s ward in his hospital. Supportively, Lee, Lucy, Anna and the grandparents all agree to take part, but once airborne will everyone pluck up the courage to jump?

Plot
Lee, Lucy, Anna, Geoffrey, Wendy and Frank all join Toby on a charity skydive for the children's ward in Toby's hospital, but the parachute instructor breaks the news to them that one of the parachutes is missing - one of them will have to abandon their jump.

Each member of the party state their cases for not jumping, with Lee and Geoffrey seemingly the only ones genuinely excited to jump and Wendy the most terrified. Geoffrey wants to see Lee jump before he does. It is revealed that Lee actually removed the parachute from the package himself to avoid jumping, and suddenly the charity jump becomes a scuffle to be the one that stays behind.
