The series starred [[Rob Brydon]] as Keith Barret, a naïve taxi driver going through a messy divorce from his wife, Marion, who has had a long-standing affair with her colleague, Geoff. Each episode is presented as a monologue, filmed by a fixed camera in the confines of his car. 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 realised, such as implications that Keith's youngest son is not biologically his. Keith's character is affectionately portrayed as a gentle dunce and draws a great deal of sympathy as the series progresses. He is in denial about his divorce, and somehow always manages to look on the positive side of even the most awful situation. Although he doesn't understand it, his life revolves around Marion and her new partner Geoff, and his love for his "little smashers" (his sons, Rhys and Alyn). Despite his faults, Keith is a hard-working and good man.
