Marion & Geoff (2000–2003)
A view of one man's unusual life
4 September 2001
A fantastic comedy series from the BBC. Rob Brydon stars as Keith, who is the only character that performs. In each episode, he talks to us in his taxi, via the use of a camera on his dashboard. Throughout the series, he tells us the story of how his wife Marion had an affair & ran off with her work colleague Geoff (hence the title).

Rob Brydon is brilliant in this as he is the sole actor & creator. By using the same familiar surroundings in each episode & with Keith being the only character that talks to us, we manage to feel empathy & emotion with him. The main flaw of Keith is that he can't accept the situation he is in (his wife having left and his attempts for custody of his children) and can never say a bad word about anyone, displayed by his lack of anger & bitterness against Geoff.

A fantastic series that will go far.
