"Room 101" is a radio comedy series that ran from 1992 to 1994 on BBC Radio 5, before transferring to BBC television. Hosted by Nick Hancock, it was an alternative to the more established and formal "Desert Island Discs". Celebrities were invited to discuss their "least favourite people, places and pop songs" in order to have them consigned to Room 101.

Title

The title refers to the room in George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" which, for each person, represents the worst fear they can imagine. Appropriately, this is supposedly named after a conference room at BBC Broadcasting House where Orwell used to sit through tedious meetings.
