Marion and Geoff

Marion and Geoff is a BBC televisionmockumentary in video-diary format, 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 taxi driver going through a messy divorce from his wife, Marion, who has had a long-standing affair with her colleague, Geoff. Each episode is presented as a monologue, filmed by a fixed camera in the confines of his car.

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 realised, such as implications that Keith's youngest son is not biologically his.

Keith's character is affectionately portrayed as a gentle dunce 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 awful situation. Although he doesn't understand it, his life revolves around Marion and her new partner Geoff, and his love for his "little smashers" (his sons, Rhys and Alyn). Despite his faults, Keith is a hard-working and good man.

Series one consists of ten episodes all around nine minutes long. It was first broadcast from 26 September to 28 November 2000 on Tuesday nights at 9:50pm. The series was later repeated, with the original segments combined into 30-minute episodes, though episode 7, "The Monkeys", was not included in this format.
