Room 101 (TV series)
Room 101 is a BBC comedy radio and television series in which celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates with the host in order to have them consigned to Room 101. The audience will often take part in deciding what enters the room, as well as the host making the decisions. The title refers to the room in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four which, for each person, represents the worst fear they can imagine.
The series was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 5, where it was hosted by Nick Hancock. Hancock was also the first presenter when the series transferred to television. He later left the series and was replaced by the current host, Paul Merton.
Memorable guests have included Will Self, Stephen Fry and Anne Robinson. In fact, Fry went as far at to put Room 101 itself into Room 101. The TV programme is one of BBC TWO's most successful, and has been running since 1994.
