BBC comedy show that has been running on-and-off since 1994, named for the [[Room 101]] from the novel ''[[Nineteen Eighty -Four]]''. When hosted by Nick Hancock (1994-97) and Paul Merton (1999-2007), it was a chat show where that week's featured guest nominated some of their pet hates and argued why they should be consigned to Room 101; the host then had to decide whether or not they had made a persuasive enough argument.
 
In 2012, a revamped edition hosted by Frank Skinner began, with the programme now taking the format of a [[Panel Game]] as three different guests argued across a series of categories to try and get their chosen items into Room 101.
