Advantages: Really funny, Refreshingly new

Disadvantages: You have to remember when it is on, There are other great programs on at the same time

There is a shortage of good quality comedy programs on TV at the moment, especially on the BBC. But Marion and Geoff is one of the very finest comedy programs.
It is a novel idea. A taxi driver talks about his kids, his ex-wife and her boyfriend. He talks to a camera placed in the car and that is where we get the views from.
The reason why it is so funny is that it contains fantastic one-liners. These show the naievity and, for lack of a better word, "simpleness".
This is a great comedy show but is going to fail. It is going to fail simply because of the BBC. They put it on an un-publicised 10 minute time slot on BBC2. The 10 minutes works well and would proably drag if it were longer but why is it put on without any warning. I only found out about it when I was flicking through the channels and caught the last joke.
I hope it carries on but thanks to the BBC's "wisdom" i feel it is deemed to be doomed.
