DVD Description
In the world of work, there is only one place where seniority counts for nothing, where shop-talk is banned, and where the last bastions against fresh air and desk-based massage, gather regularly to discuss the minutiae of their lives: the smoking room. Here, in this protected environment, crossword addict Barry, lazy lothario Clint, self-obsessed Annie and lovelorn skiver Robin nurse that last ciggie and are always ready to ask, "have you got time for another?"

Special Features
Christmas Special; Writer/producer interviews; Character Biogs; Cartoons

4.0 out of 5 stars Great observational comedy, 13 Dec 2005
By MATTHEW SHEPPARD (BRISTOL, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a downbeat, hilarious comedy detailing the kind of various oddballs that inhabit each and every office smoking room in the country. Each of the main characters are excellent, from scrounger Annie, big-mouthed but sweet Sally, dowdy but lovely Janet and the permanent resident of the smoking room, Robin. It's well thought out and doesn't have canned laughter either, which is always a plus!! For £15 you can't really go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have a sense of humour, you'll love it, 17 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This is a brilliant, often hilarious, always subtly observed comedy set in an office's smoking room. The characters are a group of semi-tragic misfits with nothing in common except their nicotine addiction, and all are wonderfully played. Yes, it is probably the most "profanity"-filled show on TV, but only the most uptight and repressed of Daily Mail readers will object; the rest of us will be too busy sniggering. If, like the previous 'reviewer', you have some OCD-style aversion to swearing (or to being amused), there's always the re-runs of 'Last of the Summer Wine' on UK Gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Smoking Room, 1 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This is one of the best BBC sitcoms made in the last ten years. It can take a couple of episodes for the viewer to atune to the slow burn of this show but they'll be duly rewarded with some laughs in the most unexpected places. The actors playing the bunch of incongrous addicts are about as good as it gets. I loved it.
