I would never have met Geoff if Marion hadn't left me.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Marion and Geoff’ was one of the most-loved and most-acclaimed BBC comedies of recent years. Rob Brydon wrote and starred as cuckolded Welsh cabbie Keith Barret, recording a hopelessly optimistic video diary about his life as a divorcee. It was a heartbreaking show, darkly comic and brilliantly written. The series won Best Drama at the South Bank Awards, and Rob Brydon won a British Comedy Award for his performance as Keith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summer 2004 Brydon took his character Keith Barret to the Edinburgh Festival with a show (or rather a 'talk' or 'therapy session') entitled ‘Making Divorce Work’, which drew on all of Keith's experience as a divorcee. It was a sell-out, and the Daily Telegraph declared it 'More outright hilarious than the TV series'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, after a highly successful series The Keith Barret Show, Keith Barret has settled down and written an indispensable self-help guide to surviving relationship break-ups. In Making Divorce Work, Barret offers advice for the broken-hearted on everything from getting access to the kids (‘my little smashers’) to dating again. It is a brilliant parody of the self-help genre (although Barret has written it with all sincerity), and an intimate portrait of Keith Barret; our favourite eternal optimist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keith Barret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284829585557,"sku":"9780007438228","price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007438228.png?v=1776992201","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007438228_making-divorce-work-in-9-easy-steps","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
