The Keith Barrett show has been met with mixed opinions with Amazon customers. The show is a spin off from 'Marion & Geoff' but it's almost pointless comparing them for two main reasons. A, the programme formats are totally different and B, although their are some references to the shows predecessor, there is no requirement to have watched or had any prior knowledge of 'Marion & Geoff' in order to enjoy 'The Keith Barrett Show'. I watched some of the KBS when it was screened and I was put off because it was a copy of Alan Partridge, I've recently re-visited the show and my previous prejudice was un-just. Yes it is very similar to Alan Partridge but given the fact that Steve Coogan is one of the producers this is hardly surprising. I see the Keith Barrett show to be a hybrid of 'The Mrs Merton Show' and 'Knowing Me Knowing You'. Rob Brydon's humour is very personal, his style is different to Coogan: Brydon could be best described as a personality actor. The humour directed at his guests is mostly respectful and the guests seem to have respect for Brydon's comedy talents. The theme of the shows are human relationships and follow on from the themes covered by 'Marion & Geoff', but as I've said there's no need to watch M&G before watching Keith Barrett. The catch phrases may seem a little forced and annoying but Brydons improvisational style, subtle humour and quick wit puts Keith Barrett alongside the likes of Brent, Partridge and Merton; this dvd comes highly recommended.

Spoof BBC chat show hosted by Keith Barret (Rob Brydon) who interviews celebrity couples with the pretence of finding the secret to a successful marriage.
Alot of modern day comedy is observational based, not the case here. Keith some how aways makes his B list celebrity guests the butt of all the jokes, making it great to watch if you can still engage with school yard mentality.

The Keith barret show continues with the character made famous in marion and geoff. It has the same humour, and jokes that made the character so amusing. I have seen every episode and i can honestly say there was not one where i did not laugh out loud. i have also recently seen rob brydon doing the tour of the keith barret show and it reminded me how much i love this show, and how funny this man is. I would recommend it to everyone :)
