Marriage Guidance

Marriage Guidance was the sixth episode of series eight of Not Going Out and originally aired on 24 February 2017.

Synopsis
If Lee and Lucy's marriage wasn't in trouble before they go to marriage counselling, it is by the time they leave.

Plot
When Lee complains about Lucy's idolizing her parents' 'perfect' marriage Anna suggests Lucy takes him to marriage guidance, which has helped her and Toby. Lee is sceptical but accompanies Lucy to see a counsellor but his flippant comments only serve to make him feel guilty. So he agrees to cooking a special meal for in-laws Geoffrey and Wendy but Geoffrey is suspicious of such kindness, a situation which ultimately reveals that he and Wendy themselves needed to see marriage guidance after he had had an affair. Following this admission Lee remains triumphant.
