The Keith Barret Show (2004–2005)
6/10
Alan Partridge lite?
28 January 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Acting somewhat as the slightly less attractive, less amusing younger brother of Alan Partridge and, more specifically, Partridge's Knowing Me, Knowing You, this takes the chat show format and gives it a spoof spin.

Here though, instead of interviewing actors 'in character', Rob Brydon's Keith Barret interviews real-life celebrity couples, in a bid to gain an insight into the reasons behind his own recent divorce.

And it is pretty amusing stuff.

Brydon is a likable enough presence at any time and here he seems in his element, ripping into his celebrity guests with some venom.

Of course, the format lives and dies by the quality of the guests and, on occasion, it does fall a little flat.

Still, I laughed more than I usually do when watching TV comedy.
