In 2001, Arthur Smith was nearly dead. He subsequently gave up drinking and entered the strange new world of the chronically sober.

A year on, the comic ruminates about his drinking days and booze generally – discovering elderflower presse, mornings and temptation. His old mucker, actress Caroline Quentin joins Arthur for some sober reflections.

Producer : Lucy Armitage
