The Smoking Room is one of my favourite sitcoms, top 3 for sure.
The cast is brilliant and it captures smoking culture at work in Britain just as the smoking ban was coming in to force. I've never been a smoker but I full appreciated the dynamic of the characters. I bought the DVD and have watched the whole collection twice, but I was so pleased to see that it's now back on iPlayer for everyone to watch. I'll be giving it a third viewing for sure.
I couldn't find a trailer for the first series and the trailer for the second series doesn't really sell it.
The clips on YouTube from BBC Studios are unfortunately capped at 144p, but here's a taste of the show:
What would I put in the top 3 with The Smoking Room? Arrested Development for sure and Scrubs.
