Human Remains (2000) was a BBC television comedy series consisting of six episodes written by and starring Rob Brydon (from Marion and Geoff) and Julia Davis (who later found fame in Nighty Night). Each edition documented the relationship of a different couple, all of whom were played by Brydon and Davis and all but two of whom were monumentally unhappy, in the style of a fly on the wall documentary. The series ran to critical acclaim, and was perhaps one of the first British television shows to employ the mockumentary approach as far as comedy was concerned. A black comedy, much of the show?s humour derived from considerably bleak ideas and situations. Domestic violence, death, depression and several forms of disability all feature prominently throughout the six episodes, with similar ideas later on arising in Julia Davis? solo project Nighty Night.
