‘Rob Brydon’s Keith from Marion & Geoff, and it’s not even close.
‘Originally in 10 minute shorts and before vlogs were a mainstream thing via the internet, Rob Brydon’s Keith records videos of himself about his failed marriage and children.
‘Within the very short time Keith can be sad and pathetic yet remains wholesome and chipper in this tragicomedy which can be hard to pick up on on first viewing to the point you question whether what you was watching was real or a drama.’

‘Single best British TV character has to be The Doctor of Who fame.
‘Why? Longevity, the reach into our collective culture, and the ability to reinvent himself.
So many great characters in our TV history but none can match The Doctor on those measures. It isn’t about whether you like the show or not.
‘It’s about how many people and how many generations he has touched. No other single UK TV character is instantly recognisable by just about everyone – and in so many countries.’
