Rabbit

Rabbit is the first episode of the Series 6 of Not Going Out and originally aired on 5th April 2013.

Synopsis
In an attempt to secure a lucrative work contract Lucy (Sally Bretton) goes for dinner at a client's house but on her way home accidentally drives over his daughter's beloved pet rabbit. Panicking in case she loses the job, she inveigles Lee (Lee Mack) into her hair-brained scheme to get herself off the hook.

Plot
Lucy's elation at securing a business deal quickly evaporates when she accidentally runs over Button, the pet rabbit belonging to client Paul's (Toby Longworth) daughter Sophie (Jocelyn Macnab). Lee agrees to take the blame but on returning the corpse discovers it is another wild rabbit she also killed. They decide to buy a replacement and go to a pet shop where they narrowly avoid meeting Paul and Sophie so that the contract looks as if it can be saved - until Lucy and Lee pay another visit to Paul.
