Probably nobody remembers this but Keen Eddie, starring Mark Valley and Sienna Miller. It was sharp, funny and had Julian Rhind-Tutt as a very strange fellow indeed.

Keen Eddie was great. I have copies of it, and it's always a great re-watch, but it definitely ends too soon.

Julian Rhind-Tutt pretty much always plays strange characters. I don't think I've ever seen him play a normal character, I just expect his characters to be strange at this point.

Keen Eddie was great but I'm not surprised that the general US audience didn't get it. The whole show was a little strange, but not in a bad way.

We loved it. It was such a different show and a breath of fresh air compared to most TV shows.

Weirdly, he is the most normal character on Britannia (a truly insane show that I absolutely love and which, being on HBO Max, I fear for the future of).
