The Keith Barret Show

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. In each programme, there are a selection of clips from venues such as speed dating or interviews with relationship experts.

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.

This was not the first BBC interview programme to be hosted by a fictional character - Brydon's close collaborator, Steve Coogan used the character of Alan Partridge with much more disastrous on-screen effect several years earlier.
