Heroin cheek

Fashion has had a dubious relationship with heroin recently, with addict models and 1990s 'heroin chic'. There's no doubt that fashion, like music and cinema, has glamorised smack. Now a 'DIY sitcom', which is only to be shown on the web, shows the grubby side of heroin. 'The Junkies' is about three stupid, downbeat losers who live in a tower block, played by Peter Baynham ('Friday Night Armistice' and co-writer of 'Jam'), Peter Serafinowicz and Sally Phillips ('Smack the Pony'). The sitcom, which was filmed in a junky's flat, was made for next to nothing, with crew and actors working for free. Don't expect to see glamorous costumes either - the actors' outfits came from second-hand shops.
