The title of the programme refers to Room 101 from George Orwell's novel 1984. It was a torture room in the Ministry of love in which the prisoner was subject to his or her worst nightmare or anxiety. In the dystopianworld of the novel know the authorities even the nightmares of the citizens. It seems that this space is named after a meeting room in a building from the BBC, in which Orwell often boring meetings had to endure. [1]

Each item can be nominated more than once, and it can also be sent to the room. Ben Elton was twice sentenced to "Room 101", by Anne Robinson and Mark Steelby comedian. Football was nominated by Spike Milligan and went there when not in, but later for Marcus Brigstocke. ==Rules[ Edit] == ===Under Hancock[ Edit] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The rules were quite severe. Nick Hancock had arguments to keep out the objects. If a guest had managed three of the five to get hated objects in the room, if this as a bonus still destroy one of the rejected items. As a guest to know too few items banned, will there be a back. This has only happened with Caroline Quentin, who come back left Paul Daniels . He was later sent back by comedian Jim Davidson, and was still a guest later. There was unrelated music of the fictional "Room 101" radio station played while the object disappeared over the Assembly line. ===Under Merton<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">When Merton guardian of the room was in 1999 the rules were simplified, there were no bonus objects more destroyed, the music was out and the Assembly line was replaced by a trap door. The conversation was calmer, more fitting to Merton. He was also very opposed to the use of animals to room 101, where he usually noticed that than an entire species would die, but he was usually persuaded. ==Nominated business<span class="mw-editsection" len="333" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The following is an (incomplete) list of some of the things that people wanted to stop in Room 101 .
