"ACTOR Mel Smith yesterday backed down at the last minute over his plan to defy Scotland's smoking ban and light up a cigar during his stage portrayal of Winston Churchill.
Churchill may have proclaimed "no surrender" during the war years but Smith didn't adopt a similar stance at the Assembly Rooms during the opening performance of the play Allegiance."
Was it anything more than a publicity stunt? Probably not, in which case my criticisms and those of other bloggers merely added to the hoo-ha.
