| Battling
with adversity on the small screen is something TV creation Keith
Barrett knows plenty about.
But
in conversation with Marcus Moore on Sunday evening, his alter ego
Rob Brydon managed to shed plenty of light on Keith, while not forgetting
his own life experiences.
A brilliant
impressionist from South Wales, he was also revealed as the voice
behind several well-known advertising campaigns: the Tango Drink
and Ford Cars among them.
Both
revelations came as something of a surprise to an audience revelling
in his quick-fire humour.
Award
winning
With
an award winning television series, a new show and a live tour already
under his belt, it seems both Rob and Keith are likely to stay pretty
busy for some time yet.
Especially since Rob has now added another string to his bow with
a new self-help book on divorce by Keith Barrett.
Filming
with Steve Coogan
On
Sunday night he was addressing the audience in Cheltenham Town Hall,
but next day he was off to begin shooting a brand new film with
fellow comedian and good friend of his, Steve Coogan.
Not bad for a former drama student who not so long ago couldn't
even get anyone to return his calls. Their loss is our gain.
Rob
Brydon was on stage at the Cheltenham Festival of Literature on
Sunday 10th October 2004.
