Pub Quiz

Pub Quiz is the third episode of the eleventh series of Not Going Out and aired on 15th January 2021.

Synopsis
To celebrate their anniversary, Lee and Lucy plan a friendly night of quizzing with Toby and Anna in the pub, but the evening is derailed when the foursome splits into rival teams.

Plot
Lee (Lee Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton) are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in the pub with Toby (Hugh Dennis) and Anna (Abigail Cruttenden), when they begin to argue over which of them is the brainiest. In an attempt to decide who has the best intellect, Lee and Anna split from their spouses to form a new quiz team. Lee and Anna do not fare well in the first round, whilst Toby deliberately gives Lucy the wrong answers to avoid being attacked later by his wife for being cleverer than her. Lee and Anna continue to struggle, and in the end Lee resorts to using his phone to look up the answers; the phone he has actually left in his wife's handbag at the other table. Lee manages to steal back his phone without Lucy looking, but forgets to mute it and leaves it on vibrate. The quiz ends with a tie, between Lee and Anna, and Lucy and Toby. The tie-breaker question concerns the number 1 song in the UK Singles Chart on this day 10 years previously, which happened to be their wedding anniversary - a question which both Lee and Lucy get incorrect. The quiz ends in a tie, but Lee's phone then vibrates within the packet of crisps that he hid in to obscure it from view. Lucy is given the victory as a result, and wins a yard long packet of Twix chocolate bars.
