Marion and Geoff Reviews

Marion and Geoff is an intriguing comedy series made up of two series, the first being 10 x 8 minute monologues told by Rob Brydon through a fixed camera who plays the part of Keith, a taxi driver whose ex-wife Marion left him for Geoff. The show revolves around his "little smashers" (children) who don't see him very often and the ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Rob Brydon stars in this one man show comedy series about a taxi-cab driver who delivers monolgues to the camera instilled in his cab. The show ran for two seasons between 2000 and 2003. The monologues tend to be about his troubled relationship and friendships. IS IT ANY GOOD: Undoubtedly this show is powered ...  Read the complete review

This was a carcking little comedy that featured the comic talents of Rob Brydon who can be seen on another cult comedy Gavin and Stacey which recently cleaned up at the TV awards and he also has his own chat style show which is very funny under the name of Keith Barret. The Barret character also appears here, originally the character ...  Read the complete review

Starting as a series of short monologues of only eight minutes long first shown on BBC2 in 2000, ‘Marion And Geoff,‘ was a show, through no fault of it’s own, which became mild cult viewing. Hushed and unadvertised, the series was meant to be a time filler in the avant-garde BBC2 evening schedule. Eleven of these short scripted pieces were ...  Read the complete review

I hate to admit this, but I've only ever seen one and a half episodes of the second series! However, that was enough for me to realise I'd been missing out on something pretty special! The programme is all about a guy called Keith,who works as a driver, and spends his time between jobs talking about his life to the camera on his ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Rob Brydon's talents seem boundless. His other series, Human Remains, which received critical approval earlier this year, cemented the comedian/actor as a guy to watch out for in the coming years. Marion and Geoff was originally aired in 10-minute episodes, which was part of the reason why they sunk without trace despite good reviews. ...  Read the complete review

This mini-series was one I really harped on about to my work colleagues to see, but they never caught it. Keith, the welsh taxi-driver, was one of the best crafted characters I've seen for years. The series was 10 (I think), ten minutes slots after Attachments on BBC 2, and each one was just so well written. I found myself ...  Read the complete review

If you’ve been watching what comes after Attachments you’ll know what this is all about. A series of ten 10-minute vignettes featuring Rob Dryden in the primary role of Keith, a man who is seemingly obsessed by his ex-wife Marion and her new husband and his friend Geoff and their (or rather Keith and Marion’s) two ...  Read the complete review
