Home > Marion and Geoff

The series were written by Brydon and Hugo Blick , and produced and directed by Blick. The associate producer was Steve Coogan.

The script is written in such a way that the viewer can pick up on clues that Keith has not himself deciphered. Numerous references are made to one of "his" children not resembling him very strongly, an obvious hint that one of the children he loves so dearly is not his own, but in fact Geoff's. Keith also gives clues in the first series about his wife's activities - the viewer knows about Marion's affair long before he works it out himself.

Keith's character is affecionately portrayed as a harmless simpleton and draws a great deal of sympathy as the series progresses. He tends to speak before he thinks, with the result that many his statements can be miscontrued as ill-thought or insulting.
