What was that TV taxi show called?

[zimzum42]

There was some show on the telly, or it might have been a sketch within a show, but it seemed simply to be some guy who drove a taxi passing commentary on life from the driving seat. Comedy thing, funny as I recall.

Reasonably recent, last few years or so, definitely British, perhaps Welsh, definitely regional

anyone remember?

Not 'Taxi' was it?

Yes it was Rob Brydon but a search of his alter-ego Keith Barrett on You Tube might get a better result.

Too obvious, and you are showing your age.

Was it the character of Barbara Dixon from League of Gentleman?

Loved that programme,if i remember correctly Christopher Lloyd (Doc out of Back to the future) played a spaced out driver

I know the Rob Brydon one one - funny!

But dammit it's not that, so it's not a Welsh thing...

It was much more chavvy, maybe London based then, not sure...

I can dimly recall an even earlier "Taxi" TV series (more accurately, "Taxi!"), from the 1960s. Sid James playing a rare and uncharacteristic straight role as a black cabbie. But to remember that one, you have to be really showing your age!

Youtube? or re-broadcast? or was it on video? I'd be interested in seeing the odd episode again, for nostalgia. Wouldn't want to sit through the lot though!

Reminds me of a genuine question we once had on our Intranet thing at work:
''What was the name of that Michael Caine film about a bunch of people who were all after a man called Carter''!?
