The Smoking Room
Set entirely in the smoking room of a large company, this eight-part comedy series explores the personal foibles and suppressed longings of an oddly assorted bunch of characters. These individuals wouldn’t normally even socialise together, but their shared love of nicotine provides a tenuous link between them all. Originally aired on BBC3, this new CD version contains all eight episodes complete and uncut. Meet the smoking-room fixture with a passion for the postboy; the grouchy security guard; the thick-skinned office Romeo; the terminally paranoiac; the divorcee enjoying a new adolescence; an entirely self-centred emotional wreck; the boss who wants to be popular; and the voice of reason among all the madness.
