	Marion and Geoff
		Marion and Geoff was a BBC television comedy starring Rob Brydon as Keith Barret, a naive 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.
		Keith's character is affecionately portrayed as a harmless simpleton and draws a great deal of sympathy as the series progresses.
		The Keith Barret Show - 2004 spoof chat/debate show tackling the subject of relationships, hosted by "Keith Barret", who interviewed a different celebrity couple on each show.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Keith Barret Show
		The Keith Barret Show sees the optimistic and painfully upbeat star of Marion and Geoff invite celebrity couples to discuss their relationships, as he returns with his own chat-show style series.

		The show's content is enriched by filmed reports on relationships, with interviews from well known sex and relationship experts.

	The Keith Barret Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Keith Barret Show is a spoof BBC chat show hosted by Keith Barret (Rob Brydon) who interviews celebrity couples in the hope of finding the secret to a successful marriage.
		Rob Brydon's character Keith first appeared on TV in the cult comedy series Marion and Geoff.
		Using Keith to present a programme on a subject such as relationships is extremely ironic, given that for most of the first series of Marion and Geoff, he was completely oblivious of the affair between the two title characters.

		On TV, Keith Barret's transformation from distinctive, funny and original character into the mainstream of celebrity is complete, thanks to his spoof BBC2 chat show that last night ended its first series.
		Of course, even C-list celebrity guests are too expensive for the average Fringe show, so instead Rob Brydon's now-famous creation pressgangs a couple from the audience to join him on stage as foils for his gentle mockery.
		Barret's previous live performances have taken the form of talks on relationship problems, informed by his heartbreaking divorce from his beloved Marion and the loss of access to his two 'little smashers'.

		The Keith Barret Show (BBC 2) will probe the secrets of successful marriage, a subject on which Keith himself is sublimely at sea.

		Keith said: "Imagine if you only had three minutes to to tell Judy what was great about you.

	Edinburgh Festivals - Rob Brydon- The Keith Barret Show
		KEITH Barret has recently been on TV - you may have caught his glitzy new show on Monday nights on BBC2.
		His show (or talk, as he prefers to call it) has now moved to the slightly more run-down, studenty surroundings of the Pleasance, and every expense has been spared in terms of set decoration and props.
		His interest lies in the nitty-gritty of relationships, and here Barret reveals a merciless side to his humour not evident before his recent run on television.

		At one point on The Keith Barret Show, the eponymous star chastised his guest, Bryan McFadden, for ruining his quiz.
		During their arguing, Barret, the bumbling boy from the Valleys, threw out the occasional acidic aside and proved himself to be capable of becoming the new Wogan - if, that is, he ever choose to play it straight.
		The Keith Barret Show is a gentle but funny antidote to the foulmouthed nastiness of Avid Merrion, the celebrity stalker and host of Channel 4’s Bo’ Selecta.

	Edinburgh Festivals - Rob Brydon - The Keith Barret Show
		Brydon’s undoubted skills of audience interaction are both the trump card and the joker in the Keith Barret deck and that contradiction is where the problem lies.
		On the negative side, however, the show relies just that little bit too much on crowd participation, which could easily result in varying quality from night to night.
		It’s not the quality of the chit-chat - for Brydon is so quick-witted one imagines he could draw the bantering equivalent of blood from a stone - but the structural soundness of the show itself, that suffers because the quipping is inescapably the work of Brydon, not Barret.

		Rob Brydon wrote and starred as cuckolded Welsh cabbie Keith Barret, recording a hopelessly optimistic video diary about his life as a divorcee.
		Last summer Brydon took his character Keith Barret to the Edinburgh Festival with a show (or rather a 'talk' or 'therapy session') entitled MAKING DIVORCE WORK, which drew on all of Keith's experience as a divorcee.
		It is a brilliant parody of the Self Help genre (although Barret has written it with all sincerity), and an intimate portrait of Keith Barret; our favourite eternal optimist.

		THROUGH the character of Keith Barret, actor Rob Brydon has managed to get away with saying some very blunt things to his guests on The Keith Barret Show.
		Those who watched the edition a couple of weeks back with Darren Day and Suzanne Shaw won't forget Keith branding the infamous Lothario "a menace", but it was all taken in good humour.
		This episode promises to be equally entertaining as TV journalist and opinionated music svengali Tony Wilson joins the programme to talk about his relationship with his partner.

		The poignant, intelligently written BBC show Marion and Geoff - in which Keith Barret first appeared as a beleaguered jilted driver - does not fully represent the depth of Rob Brydon’s skills as a performer, nor does his recent chat show for the Corporation.
		That he can do this while still staying in character as the likeable, clean-living Barret is even more impressive.
		Here Barret is presenting a talk on divorce - the Pleasance One venue he is in could not be better suited, as it looks like a village hall.
