 Memoirs of a Cigarette

ENLARGE

1 x 50 minutes for Channel 4
Winner of 'Best Entertainment Footage' in the Focal Awards, 2008.

A tongue-in-cheek “homage” to the perilous, but for some the highly pleasurable, pursuit of smoking. Using celebrity interviews and provocative archive footage to chart the love hate relationship of the cigarette in society.   Well known smokers from Vic Reeves to Charlotte Rampling talk about their first drag on a fag while ex-smokers Michael Winner, Will Self and Joan Bakewell talk about their last. And defiant smokers like Bob Mortimer, Johnny Vegas and Motorhead’s front man Lemmy rant about the new ban.  Classic television archive including rare advertising footage charts the rise and fall of the cigarette, from the days when contestants on University Challenge puffed away and The Flintstones and The Thunderbirds lit up on kids TV.
