The Guardian Guide (26.6.04): "Dry observations and insecurities from the gaspers in Brian Dooley's room. Good casting. A good wheeze. And hard to give up once you've started."

Daily Mail - Charlotte James (10.7.04): "Bad influences aside, this is easily one of the best scripted comedies around, with a top cast making good use of its quirky but expertly tuned observations on the relationships in the workplace."

The Independent - Fiona Sturges (21.7.04): "The Smoking Room - a place where the office hierarchy has ceased to exist, where shop talk is banned, but where everything else is up for discussion - is a first-rate comedy which certainly gives the The Royle Family a run for its money."

Daily Telegraph - Stephen Pile (3.7.04): "The Smoking Room, which was yet another interesting and original comedy series from BBC THREE''s ever more impressive stable."

This seriously addictive new series premiered in June this year on BBC THREE.
