    The Keith Barret Show

    The Keith Barret Show is a spoof BBC chat show hosted by Keith Barret who interviews celebrity couples in the hope of finding the secret to a successful marriage. It was devised by Paul Duddridge and co written with Rob Brydon. In each programme, there are a selection of clips from venues such as speed dating or interviews with relationship experts.

    Rob Brydon’s character Keith first appeared on TV in the cult comedy series Marion and Geoff where, for most of the first series, he was oblivious to the affair between the title characters.

    This was not the first BBC interview programme to be hosted by a fictional character – Brydon’s close collaborator, Steve Coogan used the character of Alan Partridge with much more disastrous on-screen effects several years earlier.

    Human Remains

    Human Remains is a British black comedy television series written by and starring Rob Brydon and Julia Davis. It consisted of six episodes that aired in 2000. Each episode documented the relationship of a different couple, all of whom were played by Brydon and Davis and all but two of whom were extremely unhappy, in the style of a fly on the wall documentary. In 2009, The Guardian called it “one of the best comedies in the past ten years”.

    Much of the show’s humour is derived from very bleak ideas and situations. Domestic violence, chronic depression and death all feature prominently throughout the six episodes. Julia Davis later used some of these themes in her solo project, Nighty Night. Ruth Jones, who would later work with Davis in Nighty Night, appears in the third episode. She would later co-write the acclaimed series Gavin and Stacey, in which both Brydon and Davis would star.

    Marion and Geoff

    Marion and Geoff is a BBC television mockumentary, produced by Baby Cow Productions and screened on BBC Two in 2000, with a second series following in 2003. The series starred Rob Brydon as Keith Barret, a naïve taxicab driver going through a messy divorce from his wife, Marion, who, though he fails to realise it, has had a long-standing affair with her work colleague, Geoff. Each episode is presented as a monologue, filmed by a fixed camera in the confines of his cab.

    The series were written by Brydon and Hugo Blick, and produced and directed by Blick. The associate producer was Steve Coogan.

    The script is written in such a way that the viewer can pick up on clues that Keith has not himself deciphered. Numerous references are made to one of “his” children not resembling him very strongly, an obvious hint that one of the children he loves so dearly is not his own, but in fact Geoff’s. Keith also gives clues in the first series about his wife’s activities—the viewer knows about Marion’s affair long before he works it out himself.

    Keith’s character is affectionately portrayed as a harmless simpleton and draws a great deal of sympathy as the series progresses. He is in denial about his divorce, and somehow always manages to look on the positive side of even the most depressing situation. Although he doesn’t realise it, his life revolves around Marion and her new partner Geoff, and his love for his “little smashers”. Despite his faults, Keith is an honest and kind man.
