	Marion and Geoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marion and Geoff was a BBC television comedy, produced by Baby Cow Productions and screened on BBC Two between 2000 and 2003.
		The series starred Rob Brydon as Keith Barret, a naïve cab driver going through a messy divorce from his wife, Marion, who, though he failed to realise it, had had a long-standing affair with his "best friend", Geoff.
		A Small Summer Party - a 2001 half-hour special based around Keith's initial discovery of Marion and Geoff's affair, and thus a prequel to the series proper, although produced between the first and second runs.

		Keith is Rob Brydon's creation from the TV comedy series Marion and Geoff, who gives a monologue to a camcorder in his car.
		He verbally creates a world that revolves around his estranged wife who has run off with her boss, Geoff, and their two "little smashers" (who he is seldom allowed to visit).
		Marion and Geoff, though, is tinged with bleakness and sadness which Steve Coogan has said moved him to tears.

		In describing his situation with Marion and Geoff, Rob Brydon’s character attempts to show as little emotion as possible.

		Mirroring events with his employers, Marion and Geoff are heading for trouble too, though once again Keith is the last person to realise what's really going on.

	'Marion And Geoff - Series 1 [2000]' by from The Portsmouth Chorus.
		Originally broadcast in 10-minute segments on BBC2, Marion & Geoff is a very funny if at times unrelentingly bleak comedy in which Rob Brydon plays Keith, a hapless cuckold who addresses us via a camcorder set up in his mini-cab.
		The Marion and Geoff of the title are his estranged wife and her new lover, though as Keith--who never fails to perceive a bright side to his utterly dismal existence--says, "I don't feel I've lost a wife, I've gained a friend."
		Masterly in its veracity and Pooteresque banality, Marion & Geoff is as near-flawless as The Office.

	The Observer \| Review \| Rob Brydon: I made Marion (and Geoff)
		The format of Marion and Geoff is deceptively simple; Keith drives around London in his minicab, chatting gently in his broad Welsh accent to a camcorder fixed to the dashboard, recording a video diary about his hopeless personal life, his ex-wife and kids.
		The brilliance of Marion and Geoff lies in its perfectly timed comic pathos; the audience is moved from laughter to tears in the space of a moment.
		He has had another pretty good year, making a new series of Marion and Geoff (in which he will be the chauffeur of an American family) and filming Cruise of the Gods, a 90-minute comedy drama, around the Mediterranean and in Shepperton.

	Marion and Geoff by Rob Brydon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Marion and Geoff, Rob Brydon's solo stage spinoff of his television comedy show, is not about his character Keith Barret's faithless ex-wife Marion and her alpha-male second husband Geoff, really.
		Though Brydon has been touring Marion and Geoff nationally, Sunday night's performance at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre was his first stop in Wales.
		It loses a great part of the originality that made Marion and Geoff a cult show, earned it a British Comedy Award for Best Newcomer, and made Barret an individual with a vivid life, and a winningly creative way of revealing it to his viewers.

		Masterly in its veracity and Pooteresque banality, Marion and Geoff is as near-flawless as The Office.
		Marion (Keith's ex-wife) and Geoff (her new man and work colleague) are now living together in Keith's ex-house with his two kids back in Wales.
		Marion & Geoff stands obvious comparison to I'm Alan Partridge or The Office - as comedy with a heavy helping of tragedy, and based around the delusions of the main character - but it is more artful than either of those, and really owes most of its inspiration to Alan Bennett's Talking Heads.

		Brydon, however, addresses an issue that could potentially affect us all at some point in our life and never milks it for the easy laugh, never ignores the essential pain at the heart of his conceit.
		Brydon is Keith Barret, an unassuming but eternally optimistic Welsh cab-driver turned chauffeur, star of the BBC series Marion and Geoff, (it’s typical of Keith’s doormat-like status that even his own show doesn’t feature his name in the title).
		Marion is Keith’s ex-wife who has had him locked out of the marital home and Geoff her new lover.

		Marion and Geoff was wonderful, but this prequel took excruciatingly painful comedy to new heights
		Fans already knew that the hopeless optimist Keith Barrat was going to lose his high-flying saleswoman wife Marion to her boss, Geoff - a fact that allowed the writers the luxury of focusing on micro-details rather than the bigger picture.
		And the odd thing was that although we all knew exactly what would happen, when it did, it happened quite beautifully, loaded with pathos and conveying, with forensic accuracy, that terrible, numb disassociation that usually accompanies life's most painful moments.
