Beschreibung
Hinweis: Sie sehen die englischsprachige Version dieser TV Sendung. Welcome to room B209, a drab L-shaped storeroom with yellowing walls and a faulty hot drinks machine. But for some, this place is an oasis - the one place at work where these modern day lepers can wallow in their nicotine habit, avoid going back to the office and talk about nothing in particular - the Smoking Room. Among the addicts, occasional smokers and shirkers you’ll find Len, the foul-mouthed security guard known to his nephew as “Uncle ****off”. There’s Robin, whose unfulfilled ambitions and unrequited love for the post-room boy will break your heart. On the sofa are friends Annie and Sally, the former is as parasitically needy as the latter is pin-sharp. Talking a bit too loud in the corner is middle-aged divorcee Lilian. Like Cher, she believes in life after love, and dancing on the tables at the Nag’s Head. Together they’ll discuss anything (but work), and wait for either the fags to burn out, Clint to mend the lift, or Barry to finish his crossword.
